Greetings!
 | | Teoti and Sawyer |
Back to school time isn't just for people! Now's a great time to sign your dog up for a Pawsitive Results class. Especially if you've been waiting for our Rally for Fun class -- it's the only time this class is offered all year!
If you've wanted to learn how to volunteer with your friendly, trained dog, please note I'll also be teaching the Delta Society Pet Partner Team Training course in October. Details are below!
This issue also has information on a great carpet cleaning service and a contest! I'm really looking forward to seeing your contest responses. I wonder if someone will guess correctly?
Wishing you and your pets a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. Please give your dogs cookies from me!
Best regards,
Teoti Anderson, CPDT-KA, KPA-CTP

Guess the Ollie & Win!
Save $10 On Wisdom Panel Canine DNA Testing  | |
Ollie
|
This handsome boy is Ollie, and his mom is Pawsitive Results Assistant Instructor Ryan Dawkins. Can you guess what breeds make up his mix? The first person to correctly guess wins a prize!
Pawsitive Results is now offering discounts for Wisdom Panel Canine DNA Testing Kits. Solve the mystery of your dog's heritage and save $10! Just visit www.wisdompanel.com. When you order, be sure to use our code -- APDT25 -- to get $10 off the cost of one DNA Test Kit.
With the simple swipe of a cheek swab, Wisdom Panel™ Insights can determine the ancestry of a mixed-breed dog by testing for more than 185 breeds, the largest database on the market. Within three weeks, they'll email you an official Ancestry Report that reveals your dog's genetic background.
Why test your dog's DNA? Curiosity is certainly a big factor! But learning the breeds that make up your mixed breed dog can help you better understand his behavior and potential health issues. Does your dog chase the kids? Maybe his dad was a Border Collie. Does he constantly have his nose to the ground? Maybe grandma was a Beagle! Are you worried your dog may develop arthritis in his hips? Find out if any of his relatives are bre eds prone to hip dysplasia.
Ryan rescued Ollie from the side of the road in Williamston, SC when he was about 6 months old. He is deaf. Want to take a guess about his parents? Send an email including:
- Your Name
- Your Home Address
- What Breeds You Think His Parents Were
The first person to guess correctly will win a click and treat! We'll announce the winner and Ollie's breeds in our next issue. So stay tuned!

Clean Carpets!
|
I have had the unfortunate experience of sick pets who, throughout the years, have shared a variety of their bodily fluids with my carpet. Of course this is not their fault! My carpet, however, has seriously taken a beating when it comes to pet messes. I've had a variety of carpet steam cleaners, but none have held up over time. Even expensive ones! This is why I learned it's easier and more cost effective to just call in a professional. Pawsitive Results is a local business, so I am always happy to be able to recommend other local businesses. And when it comes to carpet cleaning, I highly recommend Prestige Systems, LLC, serving the SC Midlands. No, they did not pay me to write this! Here's why I like Prestige Systems:
- I've used their services and I know they do quality work. After all three dogs suffered a particularly nasty stomach virus, I thought for sure I'd have to replace my carpet. Prestige Systems saved it!
- They're pet lovers. Owners Jeffrey and Julea Ingold are pet owners themselves, so they understand my concerns. They use pet-safe products.
- They're professional. They have more than 22 years of experience and have earned several prestigious certifications in their industry.
- They're reasonably priced!
- They're just really nice and friendly folks to work with. They've always been able to work me in quickly when I've had serious carpet issues. (Think 70-lb. Labrador who vomits while walking. Everywhere. 'Nuff said!)
Prestige Systems does more than just carpet cleaning, including carpet repair, furniture cleaning and handling water damage. For more information, please visit http://prestigesystems.net/index.html. Tell them Pawsitive Results sent you and you'll probably end up talking dogs as well as carpets!
