Loved Dogs

So you heard the news.  I'm one of the judges on the pet talent search on Fox's The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet.  One of my fellow judges is Doggie Life Coach (as she prefers to be called) Tamar Geller.  She trains the pooches of Hollywood's glitterati including Nicollette Sheridan and Orlando Bloom. 

We had such a blast gabbing backstage and she said something interesting that I wanted to share with you.  She said "People think dogs will do whatever pleases their owners.  But, that's not true.  They will do whatever pleases themselves." This means that dogs will do what feels good to them, so keep that in mind when trying to get your pooch to fetch, sit or stay.  Make them want to do it. 

She also told me about her Loved World Foundation.  She brings shelter dogs into prisons and they live one-on-one with the prisoners.  She teaches using her "Loved Dog" non-aggressive method. 

The dogs then become certified as "Loved Dogs" and are available for adoption.  When the prisoners have served their time, they have the opportunity to continue their work training dogs at her foundation.  I always knew dogs had the power to change people's lives! 

This is one cool chick!

Crongrats to all that you do for the animals! Not many people out there that will speak for those that can't.
My hands together for all the good work, KEEP IT UP!

Another animal lover,
