1) Adopt a dog – Be a hero!
2) Participate in dog training classes, agility, Reiki, dog therapy, T-touch. A great way to learn something for you and your dog while meeting others. 3) Talk with your dog. Dogs don’t judge what you say and they won’t throw it back in your lap later. 4) Walk with your dog. Dogs need about 30 minutes of exercise everyday and so do you! 5) Socialize with your dog. Dogs are the perfect ice-breakers – take part in social communities like Dogster and LeashesandLovers to make more connections with dog lovers world-wide. |

Make sure if you go to adopt a puppy that you bring a crate. I was transporting a 6 month old lab- border collie mix puppy that I had just adopted and the dog got off of it’s leash in the back seat-got into the passenger side and then attacked me a bunch times while I was driving. What a mess. I was able to control the car. The bites were on the arms-luckily not on my face. This was a nice dog that had been living with children. Apparently when we passed by some cows it got scared aggressive. Lesson learned: Dogs can act in an unpredictable manner and when transporting a dog -even if you know the animal, keep it in a crate!
