Attention Dogs!

The person I live with has a friend who is training to be professional dog trainer. She just sent us some interesting information that some of your people might find useful:

......................

Did you know the majority of problem behaviour can be "cured" with proper exercise? This does not mean a walk or 2 or 3 around the neighbourhood. This means hard core running, jumping and turning for a minimum of 2 hours per day. For a medium to large-size dog, this quality and quantity of exercise is optimum.

If you're finding your dog digs, chews inappropriately, barks non-stop or chases the cat mercilessly, try giving your dog a minimum of 2 hours of exercise (yes, you'll have to get up earlier!) for 5 days. After 5 days, you can cut it back to 1.5 hours. Most of the problem behaviour should disappear.

...I hear this works for human children too!
