Hi All!
It's been a busy summer for me! And with business booming, there are some changes on the way...
First, check out my NEW Blog at Blogspot.com! All Teacher's Pet Dog Training E-Newsletters will be posted and archived here. And take a quick survey while you're there - October's is about interactive dog toys!
Second, I will be raising my training fees for the first time in several years as of February 2008. My fees will still be - as always - more than competitive with other local trainers. My fee for a 1-hour in-home training session will increase from $75 to $79, and the pre-paid discounted package of 4 sessions will increase from $285 to $299 (price is still a discounted rate).
Other fees will increase accordingly. For more information, please visit my website.
And just a reminder: as always, once you are a Teacher's Pet Client, you are always welcome to contact me with any questions and concerns about your pet(s). So even if you are not currently in training lessons, please do keep in touch!
The HOWL-idays are just around the corner, so start planning your pets' holiday photos now!

The HOWL-idays are just around the corner, so start planning your pets' holiday photos now!
The Pet Photo Pros take some of the best pet portraits I've seen. Many of my clients have used them and been extremely happy with their services.
They will be at Highlander Pet Center in Arcadia on Saturday, 11/3 from 11 AM - 4 PM. Schedule your appt. now so you don't miss out! To reserve a time slot for your pet's photo session or for more info., contact the Pet Photo Pros or call Highlander Pet Center at (626) 357-1787.
Lucas (all groomed and primped) and I will be there in the afternoon, so we hope to see you there!
(While you're at Highlander Pet, pick up a NEW Harvest Chewz edible dog chew. These are the longest-lasting edible dog chews I have found on the market. Great for even super-aggressive chewers who destroy regular dog chews! Try one and let me know what you think. And remember, when choosing the right size chew for your dog, bigger is better - and safer!)
Finally, HOWL-O-WEEN is my absolute favorite Howl-iday! Celebrate this year by attending a local Howl-o-ween event especially for pets.
The biggest is the Annual Haute Dog Howl'Oween Parade & Pet Adoption Fair for Charity in Livingston Park in Long Beach. This is THE place for your pets to see and be seen in their adorable costumes!
Expect 500+ costumed doggies, door prizes, vendor booths, bobbing for Howl'oWeenies, a dog treat stacking contest, a Bulldog Kissing Booth, disc dog demonstrations, fun contests, a pet adoption fair, photo opportunities, and preliminary canine costume judging (judges start roaming the park at 2 p.m.).
For more information or to pre-register your dog online, visit the Haute Dog website.
Hope you all had a wonderful summer, & that I'll see you all soon!

Summer is here, and it is HOT!
Here are some great ideas for keeping your HOT DOG cool and happy this summer:
Visit a Dog Beach! The surf & sand can provide hours of fun and cool enjoyment for your doggie. The beach is the one place I would say it's okay to let your dog dig a hole to China and get it out of her system! Not to mention the off-leash dog play; it's like having an oceanfront Dog Park! Check out Huntington Dog Beach.
Give your dog a PUP-sicle! Fill the small top hole on a Kong Toy with peanut butter to make it leak-proof, and then fill with water, or a 50/50 mixture of water and low-sodium chicken broth or unsweetened apple juice, and pop it upside-down in the freezer for a cooling summer treat to occupy your dog for hours! You can even add some dog biscuits or meaty treats inside for a frozen surprise. OR, if you want a MEGA-treat that will last all day, try the NEW Kool Dogz Ice Treat Maker - a giant-sized "pup-sicle" maker that lets you fill a frozen chunk of ice with treats, toys, even stuffed Kongs that your dog can anticipate and enjoy as it melts throughout the day! It comes with a stand to hold the frozen treat in place.
Always carry water with you for your dog with a portable dog bowl to avoid overheating. You may want to limit long walks to mornings and late evening, when the temperature is cooler.
Also, keep in mind that hot concrete or pavement can actually burn the pads of your dog's feet, so avoid it whenever possible on very hot days and walk your dog on the grass instead. Or try Musher's Secret Paw Wax to protect your dog's feet from the heat.
Try a cooling pet bandanna, vest, or bed to help maintain normal body temperature in the hot summer sun. Check some out here: Chilly Buddy Dog Cooling Jacket ; Body Cooler Pet Bandannas & Mats.
Get a "Doggie" Wading Pool! You can purchase a cheap plastic children's wading pool from a local bargain or toy store that will provide priceless cool, splashing and wading fun for your dog. Or, you can purchase a pool made especially for dogs, with a separate compartment that you attach to your garden hose to provide a constant supply of fresh drinking water! Dog Dip N Sip Pool
Watch out for early warning symptoms of heat stroke including hyperventilation, dry mouth and nose, excessive/thick/sticky salivation, rapid heart rate, dull, grayish-pink, or bright red gums, bright red tongue, unsteadiness, vomiting, and diarrhea.
If you suspect your dog may be suffering from early symptoms of heat stroke, immediately move the dog to a cooler environment out of direct sun and with cool, fresh, circulating air. Use a hose, shower, or tub of cool - NOT COLD as it may shock his system - water to wet and cool him, especially his belly and legs. Lay him on his side if he is unsteady. Offer him cool - but again NOT COLD - water to drink. Contact your Veterinarian or nearest Vet Hospital immediately. For more information on heat stroke and pets, click here: Humane Society of US
Hope you all enjoy a happy, healthy, and COOL Summer!
