It's Me or The Dog

Screening on Channel 7 on Sunday nights is a funny show called Its Me or The Dog. This week the presenter Victoria Stillwell visited the home of Karen Holder who owns SIX dogs, Penny, Fudge, Blue, Mouse, Cookie & Toby.

These dogs are very hyperactive and excessive barkers. Their every day delicacies include their own Mr Whippy, their own cup of tea (they have their own tea pot), icy poles, Mars Bars and other sugary treats and Karen admits the dogs haven't been walked in two years!

It is always a great idea to take your dog to puppy school which usually involves a six week program held at your local veterinary clinic. Here you will learn to teach your dog basic commands such as sit, stay and come. You will learn valuable information on the right foods to feed your dog, walking your dog and available flea treatments. Puppy school is a great way to socialise your dog with other dogs but is usually only open to dogs up to eight months of age.

I have one dog that has been to puppy school and one that has not. The difference between the two in public places is phenomenal. Pepper (aka Scotty) will bark at anything with two or four legs that moves and Lily will just stroll along happily amongst most surroundings.
