| | Teddy and Captain's Story |
Message from the President
Lauren Genkinger
President & Founder
Instead of hearing from me this month, I wanted you to see Teddy and Captain's story. Teddy came into our program late last year in pitiful condition and TD9 Captain arrived from Istanbul in June also needing special attention. Both are seniors who were adopted by our Director of Applications, Palma Young, and her husband Michael. This is a story of what love and excellent nutrition can do for a golden in need. AGA believes that a high-quality, holistic food is beneficial to the overall health and well-being of all rescued dogs -- that's why all of our orphans start on good nutrition from Solid Gold, our exclusive dog food provider, when they enter our program. Watch their video -- it will make your day!

ASK THE TRAINER
Leave It...Drop It
Will your dog readily leave or drop something on command? If you were going to teach your dog just one cue, it should be this one (well okay, two). The leave it and drop it cues are quite possibly the most important to teach your dog. It can save your expensive items as well as your dog's life should they put something in their mouth that is dangerous. This article gives you all the details on how to teach these cues.
