Retractable Leashes

2010-06-13T15:39:00.002-04:00

These retractable leashes belong in the trash can! Don't use them,people can get all tangled up and so can the dogs! They can also break if the dog pulls hard enough! Use a 6 ft obedience training leash and a 30 ft long line for some distance work the progress to a E- Collar for total off leash control!

Back In The Saddle Again With Dog Talk!

2010-02-15T11:07:00.002-05:00

I'm pleased to be back in the saddle again with my Dog Talk Radio Show! I started my Dog Talk radio show back in the early 1990's on CHOW Radio in Welland,Ontario.I was fired for speaking the truth on one of my shows.At that time there were many pet stores selling dogs, the fact of the matter is they got their dogs from puppy mills in the U.S.They sold sick and undersocialized dogs to people.The pet stroe owners pulled on people's heart strings by placing the puppies on display behind glass as if they were jewlery! There are some pet stores today that still continue to engage in the same game.Some pet stores work hand in hand with the SPCA to adopt dogs to loving homes.Not all dogs sold or adopted from pet stores are from puppy mills but many are.
