May 9 2013, Hello World!

I’d like to find a book about how to raise and train two dogs.  Specifically, I’d like to know how to raise and train two city-pet-buddy-type dogs.  To date I have not found a dog owner’s guide, training book, or website that offers any advice or training regimens for a two dog household.  So I’m going to write my own.

I’ve read many dog books over the last two years.  There is a list of them on the dog books page.  All the books there have been a great help from basic puppy training to dog physiology and behavioral science.  I do love my dog books!

Here are the main characters:

Cindyloo is a librarian (as you tell by her outfit).  This is her first blog, her first dogs, and her first attempt at something of this magnitude. 

JM is Cindyloo’s fiance.  He is a firefighter, EMT, and googlephile. He will be contributing perspectives and helping edit.  

Sam is part black lab, part DESTROYER, and wholly loyal.  He is very hard to photograph. Mostly you’ll see him in films.  Sam’s human-irritant is that he luuves to lick people until they are squeaky clean. 

Yellow Dog is a Carolina Dog, American Dingo, Pariah Dog, &c. He loves to climb trees, strike noble poses, and often needs a good cuddle.  Yellow Dog’s human-irritant is that he does not like new things, especially new people. 

That’s us!

I hope you’ll enjoy and learn from this little blog.  I am always open to comments and, in fact, desperately need them.

If you know of a dog book that focuses on training two dogs at once please, please let me know so I can stop writin’ and get to trainin’.

Until next time!

Mostly JM and Yellow Dog sit around in the hammock while Sam and I do all the hard work.
