Keeping Snoopy From Going AWOL

Preventing
Door Dashing
Recently we've received numerous
urgent emails about Beagles who have become lost. Thankfully, most of
these dogs have been found, but these situations are both scary and
heartbreaking, especially in the cold winter months. Several of these
escapees have committed crimes of opportunity: they simply bolted when their
owner or foster parents have opened the front door.
How can you make sure this doesn't
happen to you? Besides taking the security precaution of getting your dog
microchipped, train your dog not to rush the door. Take a look at this
training video, courtesy of
Smart Dog University in MD, where a Great Dane is trained through the
use of the "wait" command, a clicker, and positive reinforcement.
Heeeeeeeere's Johnny!
With all of the recent
attention being paid to the late night TV network talk show "wars", we thought
it would be fun to create a new
adoption grid using past and
present TV talk show hosts as the theme.
A Beagle would make a great
talk show host! They have lots of personality, they love people, they can
be very vocal, and they'll be glad to keep the seat warm for you!
You won't find a Jay or Leno, a
Conan or a Coco on this grid, but there are 16 Beagles with familiar names that
deserve a warm and loving forever home.
So, take a look at this month's
Faces Needing Places showcasing adoptable "talk show host" Beagles
and see if one of them might have a permanent place in your heart and in your
living room.
Petey
Learns to go to Bed
Petey is up for adoption at Big on Beagles in
Toronto. The video below shows his trainer using free shaping to teach
Petey to "go to bed". Free Shaping is a training method that combines
positive re-enforcement with clicker training.
Take your
pick of different looks, different sizes, and different personalities....
all variations on the theme of this great breed we all love. If you are
ready for a new canine companion in your life, consider choosing a Beagle
from a shelter or rescue who shares his/her name with a TV Talk Show Host.
Anyone who owns a Beagle can attest to just how special each member of the breed
is. Each is worthy of a forever home and each is a wonderful ambassadog of hounds everywhere. These dogs just need a home and the
opportunity to show what wonderful companions they can be. They are all
available for adoption or rescue.
If you are in the position to invite one more canine friend to become a member
of your household, won't you consider choosing one?
