Welcome, Dogster! Welcome back, and an especial welcome to our new subscribers! Really appreciate you taking the time to read Dog Potentials. This issue of Dog Potentials is full of fun info this week. You can get the entire low-down on the blog at http://dogpotentials.blogspot.com/, but here are the highlights: Remember, Westminster is next Monday and Tuesday, so be sure to stop over at their website to catch the streaming videos if you can't catch the actual show on cable. It can be a really thrilling thing to watch the top dogs in the country compete. They are really beautiful. Coming up next month is Crufts. The dates are March 9-12, 2006. It's the oldest and largest Dog Show in the world. Their website is here: http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/crufts/cruftsframe.asp. IF you ever have the opportunity to attend this show, I urge you to go. The NEC is a fabulous venue for the show and Birmingham, England is lovely. In March, the flowers are beginning to bloom, although it's still chilly in England this time of year. You'll see breeds there that AKC and UKC here don't recognize--like the wire-haired Vizsla and too many others to name here. Their schedule is: Crufts 2006 Times and Dates: Thursday 9th March Working and Pastoral Friday 10th March Terrier and Hound Saturday 11th March Toy and Utility Sunday 12th March Gundog Open 8.15am to 7.30pm every day I'll be offering my first ebook on dog training soon on eBay and a couple of other auction sites. Figure that is the quickest way to get them noticed. The first one is titled, "Teach Your Dog a Trick: Dead Dog," and outlines the steps to teach your dog a fun trick. Keep an eye out for an announcement on when you can get your own copy of this fun book. This is stuff I've taught my own dogs, laid out in easy to follow format. Training Tip: Talking to your dog as though he/she can understand you in normal tones is a great way to expand your dog's "vocabulary." As you teach the dog various words for things, such as "out," "supper/breakfast," "ready?" (I use that one to crate them) and other things, your dog will learn to understand much more than if you rarely talk to them. My dogs know things like: Excuse me, please (means get out of the way), find your.... (sends them to search for a specific toy), who did...? (means one of you did something you ought not have and I know who), and other phrases you wouldn't expect them to comprehend. Because I talk to them much like I would a child of two years of age, they have learned a lot and respond much better to learning new commands than a dog that is left outside with little human interaction. Give it a try! For complete articles/information, wag yourself over to http://dogpotentials.blogger.com *** That's it for now. Be sure to visit Dog Potentials, where you'll find lots of good information and articles, and please visit our sponsors there. They help make all this possible. See ya at the shows, Chris www.dogpotentials.com *** Legal stuff: I am not a professional dog trainer, but have spent time training dogs in conjunction with 4-H and as an instructor at PetsMart.
