A dog can express more with his tail in minutes than his owner can express with his mouth in hours.

Spring is here!! sort of... Pupforum has had a good 2006 so far and the site has become more popular than ever. We are getting thousands and thousands of visitors every day and it makes it all fun!
with full-time road warrior Julee Meltzer. Jack and Julee Meltzer live full time in a gigantic motorhome with their two German Shepard dogs and three cats and travel the country meeting new people and visiting new places. The Meltzers have learned so much about traveling the country with their pets that they wrote a book about it. We were fortunate enough to get an interview with Julee to get a peek inside life on the road and hopefully learn some things that will make traveling with our own pets easier. Read on before planning your next road trip!
Tell us about yourself... how have you come to know so much about traveling with pets?"
We currently live and travel in a 35 foot motorhome, because we wanted to get out into the world and experience new places and meet interesting people. And, of course, we had to bring our two dogs. Our knowledge of traveling and camping with dogs is derived from more than two decades of camping with our dogs, countless interviews with other pet-owning campers, as well as considerable research. Fortunately, as full-time RVers, we are able to continually experience and learn new things about the subject. We write a blog on Camping and RVing with dogs (www.Rvingwithdogs.com) as well, so that keeps us in constant interaction with people who camp with their dogs. How many people Camp and RV with their dogs each year?? Today, more than 30 million households go camping and RVing each year. Of that number, approximately 50-60 percent take their family pets with them. Is it really that difficult to go camping with dogs? Life on the road with pets is fundamentally different than life at home. If your dog gets sick or injured at home, you call your vet and bring them in. In contrast, locating a vet in a strange town while your dog is seriously injured is a whole different story.... more read the rest of Julee's interview ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trainer Columns Featured Column
Elaine is also the owner of Canine's Best Behavior, a Los Angeles based training company. Elaine's featured column deals with food protection among newly introduced dogs. Below is an excerpt from the column...
Golden Retriever is Guarding Food After New Puppy Arrives
3/20/2006 If your dog has suddenly become food protective (to the point of biting) then you may want to try a few things: Rule out medical problems that could have possibly been low lying and the stress of the new puppy may have pushed to the fore front. Did you know that Dr. Dodds-the leading expert in auto immune disorders says that Golden Retrievers are the number one breed of dog presenting hypothyroidism? Hypothyroidism and aggression are very good friends. I would suggest that you get a baseline basic blood panel looking for anything in the high or low range. If the thyroid is lowish, you may want to go further with a complete thyroid panel. Dr. Dodds has much information on her web site www.hemopet.com. In a nutshell, you cannot train a sick dog. read more... Be sure to read the many other columns available at pupforum.com. New columns are published almost every day.

One of the cool things about it is the discussions going on in the forum. People seeking information and advice... people giving information and advice... people sharing jokes and stories and pics... Everyone's dog eats stuff it shouldn't eat... paulg has a friend whose dog keeps eating mulch. It could be worse. The dog could be eating mud...
A friend of mine has a small dog that she says will NOT stop eating the mulch around her
shrubs and trees. She is afraid that he will get choked on a piece of wood, or ingest
something in the mulch that will harm him. She is looking for any advice on how to stop
this behavior. I told her I would put out the question here and see if anyone else has
had this problem, and what they did to correct it.
So who else's dog is eating mulch or some such craziness? Share your experience with everyone and put an end to mulch eating...
See you next time!
