The election is over, finally.  We have a new family moving into the White House and a promise was made to his daughters.  That promise was when the campaign was over the family would purchase a puppy.  So the new media frenzy is now involved around the question "what breed of dog should go to the White House?"

The most popular breed in the White House so far has been the Scottish Terrier  But check out this site for a list of all of the White House inhabitants- http://www.presidentialpetmuseum.com/whitehousepets-1.htm

I would like to encourage you to express your opinion on this matter.  Here is the only requirement stated so far, one of the Obama girls has allergies.  To the right of this post is a response form.  Fill it out and voice your breed choice.   I will have this up til Nov. 16 and then post the results.

Stella is a handful.  Stella is my dog and she is a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier.  Being a terrier she has lots of energy to burn.  She is a lovely dog but needs alittle control in her life!  And mine for that matter.  We first attended a local puppy class to just get her use to other puppies and owners.  But as time goes on, I can see she needs more guidence!

I have searched the internet for online programs as my job doesn't allow for an local evening class.  I was confident that I could work on this in my own time and at my own pace.  I think I found the perfect solution for Stella and myself.  The program is Sit, Stay, Fetch. 

 This program addresses several dog behavior problems including-dog aggression, biting, jumping, wetting and many more.  My plan is to start Stella with this program and report to you her progress.  The first lesson starts tomorrow so stayed tuned and check back for her progress.
