Have you noticed that your dog seems to be more unruly than ever? It is common to see him pacing the hallway, counter surfing and dropping toys at your feet. This is a common time of year that has people picking up the phone, to make that inevitable call to their trainer. It starts with the same lament, "my dog used to be so good, and recently all his training has gone out the window".

Beagle Dog Breed Jewelry and Christmas Ornaments Make Great Gifts
At for Love of a Dog Jewelry and Gifts we love dogs. All dogs. At this point we carry jewelry and gift items in over 70 dog breeds, plus mixed breed dogs and animal rescue advocacy jewelry. However, since I grew up with my beloved Snoopy Sam, beagles are one of my favorite dog breeds.
Our Beagle dog breed jewelry includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings pins, and pendants. Plus we have our pretty fabulous Beagle sculptured Christmas ornaments.
The Beagle dog earrings shown here will fetch compliments and start barking good conversations about your beloved Beagle dog. Beautiful Beagle dog charms are not flat cut outs, but rather little dog art sculptures. Handmade of hand cast resin in a hand sculpted mold, then carefully painted. True to AKC dog breed standards, highly detailed and absolutely beautiful.
I've combined these Beagle dog charms with beautiful Black Onyx gemstone beads and sterling silver. The color really shows off the Beagle dog charms. These handcrafted dog earrings are perfect jewelry for anyone who loves a Beagle dog or might be involved in Beagle dog breed rescue work.
Our Beagle dog breed Christmas tree ornament is molded from an original design clay sculpture and hand cast in resin. It is then carefully hand painted and /or airbrushed and hand detailed. Sprayed with a clear protective coating to preserve the finish for years to come. The back is flat and it is signed and dated and comes with a tassled cord for hanging. A perfect addition to your Christmas tree or to display year round.

Park Etiquette (Article)
With the bulk of the winter behind us, the dog owners rejoice. Spring is here, and the dog parks are more popular than ever before. While the rural areas have the luxury of open spaces, the urban dwellers rely on their dog parks. Along with that comes the realization that the dog owners must also rely on each other for an unwritten code of ethics when it comes to dog park etiquette.

Just What is a "Dentistry"? (Article)
In the last article, we discussed different options for dental homecare. Eventually, however, regardless of how diligent you have been about brushing every day, you will find that dental tartar – that nasty, yellow/brown hard buildup – is starting to accumulate. If this process continues, plaque and tartar will start to invade underneath the gumline, causing gingivitis, and eventually periodontal disease, which can lead to pain and tooth loss.
The Target of Target?s Demise
By now most of you have heard the story of Target, the hero dog originally from Afghanistan who was accidentally euthanized at Pinal County, Arizona's animal control last week in a case of mistaken identity. You may have also heard that the shelter worker who put Target to sleep has since been fired for making the tragic error.
My heart goes out to Target?s family for their loss, this is indeed a sad story, but I?m dismayed to see the shelter and shelter worker cast as the scapegoats or worse, as villains in this tragedy. They did indeed make a terrible, irreversible mistake but the real problem lies much deeper than this single, highly publicized incident.

Tag Team Fetch During Indian Summer DIP
DIPs have proven to be such an amazing experience since launching them back in the beginning of the summer. Not only have I had the pleasure to watch dogs learn social skills or get their mojo back, but it's been a great exposure to more and more nuanced awareness of dog/dog social skills that endlessly fascinate me. This week has been a glorious burst of Indian Summer after a surprising couple of inches of heavy, wet snow just four days ago. Today at DIP we had 9 dogs, nearly a full house -- Trip and Bean, Bosco My Training Project, visiting boarding guests Zin and Jackie, and visiting dogs Bella & Tango, Rio and Poker. All but Bosco are adult dogs ranging from 1 to 10 years old. Medium to XL, males and females, sporty and spicy!
