Dalmatian Dog Tricks, Obedience, Training Practice, Chicago Dog Trainer

(sorry my vids are too loud it was not that loud in person!) This is funny guys, Ben has no idea I am putting this on YouTube. He likes me to take videos so he can track his dogs progress, he’s still in training, he said he’s not had enough training yet for people to see a video, and he wants to put an “act” together, this vid is random… but I think he’s so cute I am putting it on here! Now you can see how we work with our dogs on a daily basis. We will soon put a little “act” together for him. Rockwell is a 1.5 year old Dalmatian from a breed rescue, and he had a naturally submissive personality and had to build a lot of confidence! Some people say Dalmatians are not smart, and I will be the first to admit they may not be as smart as your “performance breeds” Border Collies, Shepherds, or Malinois, but good training makes ANY dog a joy to live with, and any dog can learn, regardless of age or breed.

‘Animal Shelter’ Online Game from SPIL GAMES

In Animal Shelter, players step into the role of Shelter Director, responsible for the health and happiness for a host of cuddly creatures including cats, dogs, turtles, hamsters, and bunnies. In this simulation game, players must feed and clean up after the animals and give them medicine and affection. Based on how well they do this, they will earn money to spend at the animal shelter. Players also need to create advertisements for each animal to help get them adopted, taking photographs, writing a short description, and deciding where to place the advertisement online, in a newspaper, or on television while keeping their overall budget in consideration. While animal rescue and adoption processes are different all around the world, Animal Shelter provides an easy-to-learn and accessible simulation experience for all audiences to enjoy playing.

Opt to Adopt- An Animal Shelter Video

In the United States alone, an estimated 6-8 million beautiful animals are placed in animal shelters each years.

From that number an estimated 3-4 million animals make it out alive. The rest are euthanized.

In the United States and many other areas across the world, we are being faces with massive pet overpopulation. Ignorant and irresponsible owners are not spaying and neutering their animals, and are letting their pets have puppies or kittens.

Many times it is because parents want their children to experience the birth of animals. It can feel like a beautiful experience to see a new mother cat gently licking her newborn kittens. The sad thing is, this can actually send a bad image to children. After all, I´ve never seen a case in which these newborn kittens or puppies stay with the family for long. They are all sold or given away. Does this send a good image? No, it tells children that animals are to be used by people and that they can be given away or sold for profit.

Think about this: every single kitten or puppy that your pet has, another beautiful life will be euthanized at a shelter. When a breeder or regular person with an intact animal sells the kittens and puppies, they are taking away a home that an animal at an animal shelter may have taken. This is the sad reality of the present world. By creating life, you are also destroying life in the process.

What is sickening is when animal shelters are blamed for the problem. No, they are not at fault. The kill shelters are taking the fall for the ignorant people who continue to let their pets breed. Kill shelters are oftentimes located in places where pet overpopulation is high. They are crushed in an endless cycle of taking in animals to try and find them homes, and euthanization. When there are not enough homes, and animals are coming in every day, they are left with no choice.

If you do not want to support the euthanization of animals, then try and find a good no-kill shelter. There are many of these all around. If you want to find a way to help the animals languishing in kill shelters, find a no-kill shelter that has an outreach program (a program in which the no-kill shelter goes to high kill animal shelters and rescues many of the animals there by bringing them back to their own shelter). A plus of supporting a no-kill shelter is that you are not paying for the euthanization process of other animals when you pay for your new pet. You will be paying for the continual care of other animals there.

If you are dying to have a purebred animal for whatever reason, then find a good purebred rescue league. Nearly every dog breed has one. If you just want a purebred and don´t care what breed, 25% of animal shelter animals are purebred. In some cases, the animal shelter might not even know, and mislabel a purebred as a mix!

So next time you go to a breeder or pet store (who get their animals from cruel puppy mills, but that is a topic for another day), or your own pet gets pregnant just think. Think about the lives that may be lost as a result of your direct action.

Please, spay and neuter your animals, and opt to adopt from animal shelters.
