Chaser, a Border Collie, knows 1,022 words! That’s an awful lot, especially considering the limits of human vocabulary and common useage! (Read the full article, and how they trained Chaser with a clicker here)
How many words does your dog know? Do you think you could train your dog like they did Chaser?
Long Island- Suffolk County- is considering passing a bill to require animal abusers be registered, so that shelters and stores can know to not sell them pets, and people know to not let their pets roam outside their yard or leave them outside unattended.
I’m divided on this idea- I believe more should be done to protect pets, but I’m not certain a registry is the best idea. What do you think?
October is Adopt- A- Shelter- Dog month! Our contest this months’ prize is a bandana (we’ll pick you something pretty!) and a treat bag (perfect for Trick & Treat time, at the end of the month!)
To enter, comment here or on facebook with a way you think shelter dogs would benefit from learning agility, and/or how your rescue dog has benefited from it.
Entries close on October 31st, and the winner will be announced on or around November 1st. Good luck!
