We want our dogs to live the best life possible, so…

by Amy Shojai | Oct 26, 2023 | Dog Training & Care | 2 comments

I’m speaking at a very cool canine summit organized by my friend Ness Jones, along with two-dozen top experts. And for a limited time, the online masterclass is free. I know how much your dog means to you (Shadow shares my heart!). You want to allow your dog:

To always put his/her best paw forward.
To live a full life brimming with health and wellbeing.
To live a long, active life chock-full of fun and love.

That’s what having a dog is all about.

So if this is you, sign up for the Decoding Your Canine November 2023 Summit: Discover the secrets to having the pawfect dog. The Masterclass Series covering training, health and well-being.

We love ’em, but dogs aren’t always perfect

Dogs don’t always behave well. Not their fault, really. Sometimes their behavior lets them down, or our human training fails, or sometimes their health does.

Sure, you CAN have a well-behaved dog that lives a full life with few health issues. We want our best friends by our sides for years and years. I see it happen all the time for my clients, friends, and mentors. But is it as easy as some people make it out to be?

Uhm…well, no. There are happy accidents, perfect dogs that find us and never give us a gray hair. But in most cases, you need someone with experience to help you achieve the best pet partnership. A veterinarian, of course, offers a great partnership in your dog’s well being.

But you live with your dog. And when struggles with behavior or other doggy issues increase your stress, your relationship can suffer. Maybe you don’t have time for a one-on-one behavior consult, or don’t know where to go for help. That’s why I’m so excited for the Decoding Your Canine Summit.

It’s 5 straight days of cutting-edge strategies and inside access to top dog professionals who are there to help YOU and your dog build a relationship that counts and a life that matters … together. And it’s on demand–you watch on your schedule.

It’s free for a limited time, but you have to register to get access. Claim your ticket to the online event here

This sounds great, but I don’t see any dates listed. Everywhere I look it just says five days in November.

Update on Cyprus Cats: New FIP Strain Identified

This past summer I reported on the apparent FIP outbreak among cats on the island of Cyprus. As thousands of cats quickly sickened and died from signs of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), experts puzzled over why. While the feline-specific illness tragically kills most infected cats (if not given expensive hard-to-access treatment), pockets of “outbreaks” had previously been limited to handfuls of cats in cattery or shelter population.

But in Cyprus, things changed. Here’s the update…stranger than fiction, but true.

How To Give Pets As Gifts

Giving pets as gifts prompts discussions every time the subject comes up. Most recently, we got our “gift puppy” and “gift kitten” when they adopted us, and we’re so glad Karma-Kat and Shadow-Pup are part of our holidays. But for many folks, this year means a new puppy or new kitten for Christmas. Learn how to gift pets–and please share your experiences in the comments!

The professionals used to say that the holidays were a TERRIBLE time to get a new pet–that impulse adoptions could leave the cat or dog without a home after the cute-holiday-thrills wore off. More recently, though, the ASPCA conducted some surveys and discovered that when done properly, these adoptions can be lasting, loving adoptions. So I had to re-think my advice.

Holidays tend to be hectic times when normal routines go out the window. Whether a baby, adult, or senior rescue cat or dog, new animals need the stability of knowing what to expect. In fact, some holiday schedules may allow you to be home more during this time to help the new kitty or pooch adjust.

Holiday pets take more work, true. But just think: you’re not only giving the pet to a person—you’re giving a special human to a waiting cat or dog, a fur-kid hungry for a loving, permanent home. Happy holidays, indeed!

Mystery Canine Respiratory Disease? What We Know

Each fall and winter heralds a rise in respiratory illnesses in people–and also in dogs. Like humans, dogs can contract a number of hacking, wheezing, coughing, yucky illnesses that make them feel bad. Canine respiratory diseases get lumped together as canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC). These are a constellation of different illnesses resulting from viral, fungal, or bacterial infections.

One of the most common, kennel cough, spreads easily from dog to dog. It gets its name because dogs housed closely together in kennels, boarding facilities, shelters, and similar places provide the perfect transmission opportunity. But recently, an apparent increase in dog respiratory disease has owners, and many vets concerned.

13 Pet Holiday Dangers to Avoid: How to Keep Cats & Dogs Safe

Merry Cat-Mas & Doggy Ho-Ho-Ho! Here’s How to Create a Tree for the Pets

Have you decked the halls yet with your howl-iday decor? What do the pets think? Have they joined in the spirit of ho-ho-ho and wreaked havoc? Or do they ignore the festivities?

The Christmas tree might as well be an early holiday gift to your cats and dogs. Pets can’t resist the urge to sniff, claw, water—and scale the branches to reach the highest possible perch. Don’t blame your cat or dog. It’s normal for cats to compete for the top spot (literally and figuratively) to secure their place in kitty society, and dogs may want to “mark” the convenient indoor doggy signpost.

Protect your precious memories by pet-proofing to prevent breakage (yes, this happened to me!) And give your pets something “legal” to enjoy. Here’s how to create pet safe holiday fun for cats and dogs.
