The Straight Poop featured WEB SITE

The most comprehensive site on dog training I have seen covers general issues (such as responsible ownership), specific issues (such as housetraining and tricks), puppies, general topics, scientific info, behavior problems, obedience, protection, assistance dogs, "The Nose Knows", a collection of e-mail lists related to dog training, a collection of photos and videos, and more...enough to keep you busy until you get the next issue of The Straight Poop! I found it while searching for a solution to Katie's recent propensity to growl when anyone came near her while she was chewing on a bone; this site gave me a link to a perfect article on what to do about Possession Agression.

The Straight Poop featured DOG BOOK

Published in September 1999 but quickly becoming a standard, this book reconfirms what I have known for years...obediance training is more for us than for our dogs. Every doggy household needs a doggy section in its library, and this volume is a fitting and useful addition.

"Good Owners, Great Dogs", by Brian Kilcommons and Sarah Wilson.

The Straight Poop BEST OF THE BEST

From Issue #3 , January 14, 2000
The Straight Poop featured WEB SITE

Outstanding resource for deciding which breed is the right breed for you. Lists for apartment dwellers, child companions, lap dogs, jogging companions, people with allergies, light shedders, low exercise demand, high exercise demand, guard dogs, and, perhaps most important of all, drool and slobber offenders! And all linked to detailed rundowns on each breed. Lots of other great features, like a list to help you find a name like Jaws or Killer for your Yorkie. "Dog Breed Info Center"
