Several weeks ago the Saturday classes at Kindred Spirits Dog Training in Vista, CA was rained out. As all the trainers waited at the training yard to see if the rain would let up, they all got talking about their dogs. Out of that discussion grew a book idea. Hence, "The Legends of Wild Dog Junction." In this podcast, Kate will read Liz's literary efforts, which includes the cast of characters (all based on the trainers' dogs), and half of the first chapter. If this sounds like fun to you, go to www.kindredspiritsk9.com for the complete first chapter, more about the book, and how to download subsequent chapters.

Many puppy owners don't realize that puppies don't automatically grow out of bad behaviors. Growing up doesn't automatically turn a puppy into a good dog.

Tune in as Liz, Petra, and Kate talk about this sometimes-confusing issue.
