Saving Dogs 1 Life at a TimeIntroducing Compatible Canine Companion's Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Re-home Program
"A second chance to get the perfect dog"
In the last year I have expanded my desire to help dogs in need by going beyond Animal Behavior training and into the arena of Rescue Fostering.
I have recently fostered for Canine Crusaders in Youngstown Ohio and found it to be a rewarding way of trying to improve the lives of dogs that need it the most.
Since this endeavor is one that I would like to continue, I am making an offer to SHELTERS & RESCUES ONLY in the NE OH., NW PA., & NW NY. area to feel free to contact me regarding a rescued dog in need of short term foster care. (Private owners needing to place a pet can contact us about our Adoption Referral Program). In return all I ask is that the rescue organization that places this pet with me will be willing to pay any medical expenses that should arise and also transport to aide in getting adopted dogs to their new owners (if needed). In return your foster will have access to a nice 50"x50" fenced area to exercise with my 5 resident dogs, training to address any behavioral issues, and a loving home environment with myself, husband, and 2 sons’ ages 12 & 4. I will also aide in the screening of potential adopters, home visits (if in my area or reasonable distance) and write a complete biography for each foster dog I care for. After a dog that I have fostered is placed I will offer 1 free class (or phone consultation if not within traveling distance) to the new family, as well as a 10 % discount on any training programs they may sign up for in the future. Any person interested in helping with this venture by wanting to be a potential foster home, please feel free to e-mail me to join our list. Senior dogs, and dogs with handicaps (missing limbs, eyes, ect.) will be given priority placement due to their "harder to adopt" status.
For any organizations that are not with in a reasonable distance to me or if I currently have a dog fostering with me, I would always be glad to post ANY dog you have that is in desperate need of adoption. All you need to do is e-mail me the dog's contact information, a picture, and a brief temperament description.
If any more information is needed regarding the Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Re-homing program feel free to contact me via e-mail at C_K-9_C@hotmail.com
Our Pet Meomrial Photo AlbumAt Compatible Canine Companions, we realize the loss of a beloved pet is a traumatic and heart wrenching event. With out our beloved pets the world would be a lesser place to live. With our Pet Memorial Photo Album we would like to encourage our guests, friends, and fellow animal lovers to feel free to e-mail us with a picture (or pictures) of Fur Babies loved and lost along with your pet's name, age, and a brief biography to be posted with their picture. Their Photo will be added to our album to share with the rest of the animal loving community and to have a special place where you can come to visit your pet any time you wish. Their memory will live on through this album and the entire internet community can see your special someone and read about just how magnificent they truly are. We offer our most heartfelt condolences to those who have lost loves, and offer strength in your time of sorrow. Dogs CAN Dance Too!I bet you would never in your life think you would see a dog who could dance... and do it really well too. I can't really give him credit for his musical choices but this is an incredible video guaranteed to make you smile if not all out laugh.

FYI.. Canine Freestyle Dancing is ACTUALLY a reckgonised competition with the AKC. You can find the different sporting events available through the AKC at www.AKC.org Siberian HuskiesSibes originated by the Chukchi people of northeastern Asia as an endurance sled dog, capable of traveling long distances at moderate speed, carrying a light load in low temperatures with a minimum expenditure of energy. The first team of Siberian Huskies made its appearance in the All Alaska Sweepstakes Race of 1909. In 1910, a team of Sibes driven by John "Iron Man" Johnson won the grueling 400-mile race, and for the rest of the decade, the breed (particularly those bred and raced by Leonhard Seppala) captured most of the racing titles in Alaska. In 1925, the city of Nome, Alaska was stricken by a diphtheria epidemic and dog teams of Siberian Huskies led heroic "serum runs" to retrieve antitoxins. The rout they took then has become imortalized today and is called the Iditarod. Sibes served valiantly in the Army's Arctic Search & Rescue Unit of the Air Transport Command during WWII and in the Byrd Antarctic Expeditions. Siberian Huskies achieved AKC Recognition in 1930. More information on the Iditarod can be found at www.iditarod.com Training SuccessEver wonder what it is that makes Canine training successful? I have worked with people in many different situations with the same problm...Lack of knowledge! People who attend group classes at your local PetSmart only get the fundamental basics for training their dog. Sit, Stay, Come, Heel. Training now days has expanded way beyond the basics. Often the reason why these people come to me after attending one of these groups is because their dog is STILL unmanageable, or has failed the class altogether. What those classes lack is two basic premises that I believe to be the Golden Rules of Training. T.E.A.M WORK! T.E.A.M work is Tone, Attitude, Emotion, and Movement. You need to have these tools in order for ANY training program to be effective. The other common failure is an inability for people to understand canine communication. ANY good trainer or behaviorist will educate you to understand how dogs communicate with eachother and with you through their body language, gestures, and physical cues, and in turn, what your body language and cues are telling them. Once you have grasped these 2 basic fundamental instruments, training can be a fun and successful adventure for both you and your dog. |
