Keep up the great work and my next task is to get your radio show pOdcasts and start walking while I listen to your NO KILL philosophy. Sat mornings have been busylaltely and I’ve missed a few shows.

All the pp people would lead you to believe that unless you use tasty treats, a clicker and a high squeaky voice you are being abusive to your dogs. Oh and no prong or e-collars, just the haltis or martingale.

Uma is a beautiful and well behaved dog! I use a service dog myself and love seeing all the various things that these wonderful dogs can do. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of job does Uma perform? My dog is a mobility assist dog.

Sean,
You are so amazing & it doesn’t matter how often I watched tv shows & thought I was ‘acting’ the same way….it was an eye opening experience to ‘feel’ the right way. This is a great road to be on…for me, as well as my dogs. My husband is next!

Comment on Dog Fight by Jody

We put our English Springer down 4 Easters ago after a final straw bite to our daughter. I am not sure you could have dealt with her, but it would’ve been nice to give it a try. We did try a couple trainers but after the final straw bite the dog was deemed un-safe and we did not feel comfortable “giving her away”. (shelter or friends) Thanks for being an option for dogs with bad behaviour and persevering. Good Luck! TO this day I am sad about the loss.

I called out fast King Here All The Way but the car was coming quick he slammed on his breaks I pushed the remote button ONCE on LOW Setting King cane running That E Collar and training from JEFF SAVED KINGS LIFE !

Comment on Jabba Jabba Do! by Vanessa Dennis

I saw the picture of Jabba playing with Caly and after my initial shock and disbelief wore off – I have to admit that I got a little teary-eyed. As you know, we adopted Jabba several years ago after he had been sitting in a shelter for several months waiting for a home. He was just a big, goofy pile of slobbery love at first. Overtime though we realized that, although he has always been fine with our other two dogs, he had MAJOR issues related to any dog he met on the street or at the park. After breaking up many intense fights at the local dog park we resigned ourselves to avoiding any and all contact between Jabba and any other dogs for fear that he would hurt one of them and we would have to put him down. We had to start leaving him home for all of the animal related outings we did like the Providence Animal Rescue League yearly pet walk (which is the shelter we got him from), the dog park, and even walks in our neighborhood. It made me sad but I didn’t know what else to do to ensure the safety of other dogs we might encounter. Sometimes we would try walking him very late at night just to avoid the possibility of running into another dog.

Considering it has only been 5 days, I am really excited to see how far Jabba will come over the course of the next 5 weeks. I really appreciate and am inspired by how willing you are to work with dogs that no one else will work with. For you to day-in and day-out expose your own dogs and your family to dogs like Jabba that have aggression issues just speaks to your ability and commitment to your clients and dogs in general. Not to mention the balls it takes to be willing to get bit over and over and not get frustrated with a dog or give up on them. So THANK YOU. You might be expensive (ha ha) but to see Jabba actually playing with another dog and not trying to rip its face off – that’s priceless in my book. He deserves that. And I have to warn you – I may cry a little bit when I come to pick him up if I see him playing with other dogs. Because I really, truly believed that I would never get to see that.

Comment on Dog Electrocuted on manhole Cover, LUNA RIP by Blair Sorrel

Greetings! I am extremely saddened to learn of poor Luna; please disseminate this vital public service to preclude more tragedies. Many thanks.

Best,

Blair

Just so you know, I confer with Con Edison’s Stray Voltage and Public Affairs Units and contribute to Wet Nose Guide and New York Dog Chat.

HOW TO SLAY AN INVISIBLE DANGER.

Blair Sorrel, Founder

Contact voltage is a chronic hidden hazard that can readily victimize an unsuspecting dog, walker, or both. No dog lover could possibly observe a more horrifying scene than witnessing his beloved pet instantaneously maimed or tragically electrocuted. When you exercise your pooch, please exercise greater prudence. Common outdoor electrical and metal fixtures may shock or even kill your vulnerable dog. And depending upon the current, the walker will be bitten and like poor Aric Roman, suffer permanently. But you can, indeed, self-protect.

Just start to adopt this simple strategy — EYEBALL THE BLOCK, AND AVOID A SHOCK. Take a few seconds and make your trajectory toward generally safer, free standing, non-conductive surfaces, ie., plastic, wood, cardboard. Intuit your dog’s cues and if it’s resistant, change directions. Work site perimeters may be live so try to elude them. If necessary, switch sides of the street or your hands when leading to skirt hazards. If you traverse the same route, you may memorize locations of potential dangers. Carry your pooch when in doubt. Consider indoor restroom products like PottyPark when external conditions are chancy or RopeNGo’s hardware-free leash and harness. And don’t rely on dog booties as a palliative as they will actually put your pet at even greater risk since the dog can’t tell you they’re leaking! To learn to more, please see StreetZaps. A safer walk is yours year round if you are willing to open to your eyes and mind to it.
