Great Gift Idea for Valentine's Day or a Special Occasion!!!
At Guide Dogs of the Desert you can "adopt" a puppy and help a dog become a hero, helping a blind person achieve the "miracle" of independence". This adoption program helps support the work of Guide Dogs of the Desert as we breed, raise and train these magnificent animals for a life of service.
When you participate in the adoption program you will receive a certificate of adoption, information on the breed you are adopting, a stuffed dog, a screensaver for your computer, and a letter from one of our graduates.
Call Kathie Flamm at 760 329-6257 to order your special gift or for more information on how to help Guide Dogs of the Desert. |

Trina's Training Tip of the Month
 Behavior problems in dogs can be directly related to a lack of training. To overcome the most common behavior problems in your pet or service dog, you should establish an obedience routine on a daily basis. Each dog, within your family should learn the basics.
Come - Sit - Down - Stay - Stand
Heel, (on a loose leash)
The stay command can be your most effective tool in teaching your dog self -control. By the time the dog reaches 6 months he/she should remain in a 1-minute sit/stay when requested. By the time the dog is 1 yr. of age he/she should have a 3-minute sit/stay. Build the amount of time gradually over a period of time. Try adding an additional 15 seconds at a time
