Friday Fun: Koru’s Bionic Fetching

We’ve seen these Bengal kitties, Ukee & Koru, before.  They live in one of the most cat-friendly houses ever!  Here’s Koru showing how to put such a fab house to good purpose.

I love all the simple, sisal covered posts around for the kitties.  Want to make a sisal post yourself?  Check out this tutorial for a DIY sisal scratching post. Just make it longer and leave the base off.

News Bites: Extreme Reasons To Train Your Dog

  • grenadeA German dog fetched a live WWII grenade last weekend.  Fortunately he was trained and set it down on command.  “Drop It” is an important thing to teach your dog even if they’re much more likely to pick up a dead animal or another dog’s toy than a grenade.

Here’s a really good tutorial on how to teach your dog to “Drop It’ or “Leave It” using non-coercive techniques.

  • Sadly in other news, a dog pulled a California woman in front of a train killing them both.  There’s a pretty small chance your dog will pull you in front of a train, but if your dog pulls on its leash, you could be pulled off your feet or into traffic.  Saffron used to pull steadily on her leash so though I wasn’t likely to be pulled off my feet, I did start having severe wrist and elbow pain.

Check out this really helpful tutorial on training your dog not to pull. We solved the problem using the Easy Walk Harness and here’s a tutortial on using no-pull harnesses.
