Positive Dog Training Reaps Rewards, Love, and Happiness
This article from Tenacious Little Terrier resonates with me on how many of us started using positive dog training. Though we might not have known all the different training methods, we felt there had to be a better way than using punishment. Personally, I never agreed with corporal punishment for either children or dogs. I wanted my relationship with my dog to be built on trust and affection, not fear.
Therapy Dog Hikes 375 Miles for Hospice Care Awareness
“Hachi’s Hike for Hospice” is an inspiring campaign covered by WTOP. The goal is to raise awareness about hospice care and challenge the often negative perceptions surrounding it. While end-of-life planning isn’t a pleasant topic, it’s an important conversation we often avoid. As one supporter said, “So many people think hospice care is about dying, but it’s really about living the end of life on your own terms. We want to encourage people to have these conversations before it’s too late.”
Charges Dropped Against a Smiling Dog Who Broke the Internet
Great news from Life With Dogs! Waterford Township, MI officials have dropped charges in a contentious Breed-Specific Legislation (BSL) case involving a newly adopted dog named Diggy. Initially labeled a “Pitbull” and ordered to be removed from his home, Diggy was later confirmed by a veterinarian and his rescue organization to be a Bulldog mix. Now, Diggy can stay with his owner, much to the delight of many supporters.
