Kari Harendorf also talks about how to raise a healthy dog in terms of how you treat yourself.  Since every creature’s health lies in the immune system, she talks about immune health for your dog.  She states that the immune system starts in the gut – if you’re putting bad foods in your stomach, your immune system isn’t functioning properly.  The same rule goes for your furry friend.  The food and dog treats you give your pet can have a great impact on whether that pet is healthy or not.

In addition to the pet’s digestive health, you can improve your dog’s mind, body, and spirit with doga – yoga for your and your dog.  While you’re not going to get Fido to do a “downward dog” you can perform certain yoga poses that incorporate man’s best friend.  Check out the video to learn more.

As the owner of two dogs who walk me, rather than letting me walk them, I found this information extremely helpful, but the delivery is a little strange. I guess Cindi has spent many years training dogs – an important component of dog training is repetition. This video is a little repetitious. That’s OK, though, because you get to see how she teaches a dog how to walk on a “loose leash.” In other words, how to get your dog NOT to pull on the leash like a madman.

The instruction is sound, and she makes some excellent suggestions. She also shows you how to integrate this dog training method with some others. One thing that was very nice was that she demonstrated the “loose leash” procedure with her personal dog, and then with a larger dog that hadn’t been trained previously. So it turns out, after all, that holding a treat on a stick in front of your dog is NOT the best way to get him to behave on a leash.
