		<description><![CDATA[Last week a Denver news anchor was bitten in the face by a dog during a live interview with a firefighter who had recently rescued the dog from icy waters. The injury required reconstructive surgery and our hearts go out to her as we wish her a smooth and speedy recovery. Watching the news clip I was reminded of a similar incident last year in which a reporter was also bitten in the face during an interview with a police officer and his...<a href="http://raisingrover.com/learning-from-the-denver-anchor-dog-bite-incident" rel="nofollow"> Read More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was commiserating with a client last week over the number of ball-thieving dogs out there whose owners are unable to get the ball back. I admit, it&#8217;s mildly amusing to watch them chase their dog around in vain before shrugging helplessly, but mostly it&#8217;s annoying for those of us who rely on retrieving activity to tire our dogs out. Even more importantly, I have to wonder what dangerous items these dogs might pick up that no one is able to retrieve from them....<a href="http://raisingrover.com/teaching-your-puppy-to-share-preventing-possession-issues" rel="nofollow"> Read More</a>]]></description>

No unnatural poses or sterile studios here; her motto is ‘as they are in the play yard’.  She has a unique talent for appreciating the individual personality of each dog she works with and when combined with her artistic eye, the results are pictures that celebrate the inner dogginess of each subject and somehow tell a story that goes...<a href="http://raisingrover.com/tis-the-season-original-gifts-for-dog-lovers" rel="nofollow"> Read More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has ever taken a Raising Rover class or private lesson has heard me talk about how dogs are masterful readers of body language. Recent studies reveal their ability to observe and interpret even our most subtle gestures surpasses that of our closest (and presumably highly intelligent) relative, the chimpanzee. The following is a clip from the Max Planck Institute for Evulotionary Anthropology showing just how good dogs are at reading their humans. You may never underestimate Rover again!]]></description>

This is becoming an all too common occurrence; it’s the 6th one I’ve heard about in Toronto in the last 2 months. Add to that the number of dogs that go missing because someone left the gate open by mistake or a dog walker was distracted for 2 minutes and I couldn’t help feeling some tips on how to find your lost dog as well as some preventative measures were...<a href="http://raisingrover.com/rovers-gone-missing-top-5-tips-for-getting-him-home-safe-and-sound" rel="nofollow"> Read More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160;  Kids + dogs = great combo, right? &#160; Absolutely, but not without a little education and effort. According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, out of nearly 1 million dog bites reported in the US each year, 60-70% are to children, and almost 80% of dogs involved were familiar (either the family dog or a friend’s or neighbour’s dog). &#160; These incidents are hugely distressing for owners who feel their beloved pet has ‘turned’ and bitten out of the blue....<a href="http://raisingrover.com/kids-dogs-living-safely-ever-after-2" rel="nofollow"> Read More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If any good came of the tragedies that prompted the 2007 pet food recalls it’s that people became a little more discerning about what was going into Rover’s dish. Unfortunately pet food manufacturers don’t always make it easy to make good choices and many are just plain misleading. To identify a good quality food, you have to look past the delectable descriptions of feasts fit for a king. You should also ignore commercials featuring cute and happy canines living life to the fullest.

		<description><![CDATA[Judging by how many panic stricken stares I’ve seen at the mere mention of nail trimming, it seems there are quite a few of you out there who are terrified of traumatizing or even mutilating Rover in an attempt to trim his nails. But with the right approach the whole process can be a stress-free activity for both of you. There are plenty of tips on the internet, many just plain useless (not naming any names) and some downright cruel.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; 1. Never leave Rover in a parked car. Not even with the windows open. On a mild summer day (22˚C), the interior of your car can reach almost 40˚C in just 10 minutes. Dogs can suffer brain damage, organ failure and death at body temperatures of 40˚C or higher. Be a responsible citizen; if you see a dog in a parked car, call 911. 2. Exercise Rover early or late in the day.
