Giving your dog a return signal
San Diego Union Tribune – May 31, 2008
The weather's fine and you'd love for your dog to get the kind of exercise and socialization that can't happen at the end of a leash. Maybe you even have a new dog park in the neighborhood. You've got just one problem: nce your dog's off leash you're not sure you can get him back. The traditional obedience method of teaching a recall starts from a sit-stay the command dogs learn to sit and then stay put. But for the average dog owner the stay is a huge bother to train and it's the long way around.

But we did leave our home for the sturdier building and learned a few lessons along the way. Here’s an article I wrote after Rita with some advice about training so that you and your dog are ready for natural disasters. If I’ve got time I’ll follow up this week with a list for a dog 72 hour kit. EMERGENCY TRAINING With hurricane season here once again I’ve been thinking about our brush with Hurricane Rita. That experience brought home in an especially practical way the importance of a well-trained dog- not just obedience training but all the other training that dogs need. Here’s a quick run down of some of the training that proved so important during our evacuation. Potty Training- A potty command such as “Go potty!” or “Hurry up!” proved invaluable… Here’s a quick run down of some of the training that proved so important during our evacuation. Potty Training- A potty command such as “Go potty!” or “Hurry up!” proved invaluable. As the winds picked up it was nice to take the dogs out to a sheltered spot and give the command so we could get back inside as quickly as possible. I brought along towels and plastic garbage bags to place on the floor in the bathroom. If the storm had gotten bad enough I would have taken the dogs there to do their business. The potty command would have let them know that despite the strange place and circumstances it was okay to go. Crate Training- Crate training is more than just putting a dog in a crate; it’s teaching your dog how to behave and relax in one.
Political ‘Dog’ learns new tricks
Seattle Post Intelligencer – May 31, 2008
Political ‘Dog’ learns new tricksBy. After all at least some of what they say is pure fiction. But it’s not often that a politician actually appears in a play.

Montgomery’s complete game performance on Sunday against the Yellow Jackets pushed the Bulldogs into Monday’s Regional championship game against those same Jackets albeit not the way top-seeded Georgia envisioned – via the loser’s bracket. After dropping their initial game to Lipscomb and topping Louisville on Saturday the host Diamond Dogs returned to Foley Field for two games Sunday topping Lipscomb in the afternoon before the evening’s 8-0 defeat of Tech. “We played really close to our identity all day” Georgia coach Dave Perno said. “Great defense great pitching and hitting home runs.
