Letter from Dog Lovers to Their Dogs
Sent to me in an emai!
Dear Dogs: The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, bark, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -canine attendance is not required.
Finally, in fairness, dear dogs I have posted the following message on the front door:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:
(1) They live here. You don’t.
(2) If you don’t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That’s why they call it ‘fur’-niture.
(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don’t speak clearly.
Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
(1) eat less,
(2) don’t ask for money all the time,
(3) are easier to train,
(4) normally come when called,
(5) never ask to drive the car,
(6) don’t smoke or drink,
(7) don’t want to wear your clothes,
(8) don’t have to buy the latest fashions,
(9) don’t need a gazillion dollars for college and
(10) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children …
DOGte4k Canicom 400 Remoter Trainer
The Canicom universal Dog Training Collar weighs less than 3oz including the internal 3v lithium battery. It is totally waterproof and shockproof to withstand a normal dogs lifestyle. The strong adjustable collar fits all neck sizes 20 inches.
How does it work?
Used alongside your vocal training commands, your Canicom dog trainer assists you by transmitting a combination of beeps and electric impulses to your dog via the specially designed collar. The beauty of the system is not in its power (we recommend the minimum setting required to get attention) but in the immediacy of the command given. Corrective commands can be given immediately even though your dog is some distance away. As we all know: an immediate command is an effective command. As you progress your dog will learn to associate your trigger commands with the electric impulses. Eventually you will be able to reduce, then disable the impulses – using only the beep function. Finally you can dispense with the collar altogether. (As an alternative, a dummy collar can be used at this stage.)
The Canicom 400 is a highly featured electronic dog collar training system for controlling up to 2 dogs with a larger working range of over 400 yards.

DOGtek Bark Control Collar
Control your dogs barking with the DOGTEK® Bark Control Collar. Most people can’t hear the annoying tone but your dog will. Soon your dog will know his bark is causing the stimulation and tone.
How it Works:
At the first bark, a series of six beep sounds is emitted. If another bark is detected within 30 seconds, another beep sound of 2 seconds is emitted together with stimulation. Inhibition of any further stimulation is dependant on the absence of any barking within the next 30 seconds. The stimulation function can be inhibited using the stimulation switch, which will cause only the beep sounds to be emitted
Curtailing Noisy Canines
While barking is a natural function for dogs, most homeowners would like to curb that behavior as quickly as possible. It used to take a concerted effort to curtail excessive barking, but thanks to advances in training technology, an overly rambunctious dog can be reigned in within a matter of days. One of the keys is utilizing an Innotek bark collar.
There are two types of bark collars to choose from: electric and citrus spray. An electric dog collar will administer a small shock every time a dog barks, conditioning the canine to cease the noise. These collars come with several sensitivity settings, so you can adjust as need be. Many people consider the citrus spray a more human alternative; it uses small bursts of all-natural spray to deter the dog from barking.
