Update: Aquarius and Zen

Update 4/08. Bellatrix has been adopted, too! Yay!

Both Aquarius and Zen have been adopted! Bellatrix is still available ...

"Bellatrix is a two year old beauty that found herself lost at an LA County shelter. She is as pretty in personality as she is in her good looks. Bella is confused as to why her people never came for her, but she is looking forward to a life filled with all things good from now on. Friendly with other dogs, and lady like in the car, Bella is searching for a full time family that will include her in outings and fun stuff. A positive training class with her new people would be delightful. As a shelter stray, we have no history for Bella with cats or small children, so she is looking for a home without them right now. If this young beauty plays trix with your heart, contact Denise at: mailto:ripcurl8@adelphia.net?subject=GRCGLAR_Bellatrix "

Uncommon Training

I'll admit - I've walked through my son's school and right past the super-well-behaved Gus hundreds of times. Having some dog experience, I have even thought about how well-trained he is and wondered about how he got to be that way. But most of the time his sweet, calm demeanor simply doesn't even catch my eye.

And that's the secret, isn't it?

I've been reading (no surprise there!) and wanted to share a few good resources:

The Uncommon Canine ... I took classes from Joella about 10 years ago. She is wonderful and truly shows what can be accomplished with positive reinforcement!

The Book of Levels ... for some serious WOW!
