From DrPetHealth.com. http://www.drpethealth.com/dog-health/index.htm Fetch Link 33333333333333333333333333333333333333 The Straight Poop about DOG ACTIVITIES and TRAINING I learned a long time ago that successful dog training is based on the fact that dogs are a pack animal, and as such they follow the leader of the pack. The trick is in making them aware that YOU are the leader of the pack. Suzanne Clothier makes that notion perfectly clear in "It Takes a Pack to Raise a Puppy", from the Flying Dog Press site. http://www.flyingdogpress.com/puppack.html Fetch Link _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a trusted sponsor Dogs love Kuranda beds. Kuranda dog beds have been known to get rid of those unsightly calluses so often seen on older dogs. The off-the-ground design gives firm, even support to dogs recovering from surgery, hip dysplasia, and arthritis, making them ideal for keeping a dog healthy as well as bringing one back to good health. One customer calls Kuranda beds the "best idea we have seen in many years of showing and breeding dogs."

I'm talking about the physically demanding and mentally uplifting practice of Iyengar Yoga. But enough about that . . . what's it got to do with dogs, you ask? A yoga buddy, Jamie Wayne (the Toronto-based humorist), is one of those rare individuals who is by nature genuinely funny. He told me he has written some columns about dogs and graciously gave me permission to publish one here.
