Greetings and welcome

I was hoping to have The Dog Blog, but naturally that name is taken with no real content. Darn! So instead I am naming my dog blog "How to Scoop" in honor of my upcoming book on the ins and outs of effective scooping. This issue is something every prospective and current city dog owner must consider. Furthermore, it is something to consider when selecting the size of dog a prospective owner wants. I can give tips on making do (no pun intended) with inadequate scooping supplies while avoiding unpleasant mishaps, and evaluating the circumstances effectively to maintain responsible scooping despite adverse conditions. More on all that later.

As an accomplished trainer and dog behaviour enthusiast, I will address behaviour issues, pack dynamics, and training methods in addition to documenting my very special border collie companion pet, Mona Luna Diosa, GCG, RN, RA, CD. (All titles through AKC.) That is, Canine Good Citizen certified, Rally Novice, Rally Advanced, Companion Dog. The CD title, while sounding modest, was actually the most challenging. Since this is an introduction, I'll save the
bragging for future posts.

Please send me questions of any nature relating to dogs. Thanks for reading!
