Let your dog be a dog

Herding classes are a hot new trend and can bring you and your canine friend closer to together.

Human: Look at that! Fido is herding the sheep and experiencing his dogness.

Fido: Run! Chase! Whee!

Human: I’m so glad I we can improve our communication.

Fido: Run! Chase! Whee!

Human: Now he’ll see me as a leader, and maybe he’ll stop chewing my furniture.

Fido: Run! Chase! Wheeeeeeee!

And if Fido’s age is showing, he might be a candidate for a new set of wheels. A Whidbey Island company helps animal with mobility problems. Clients include dogs, rabbits, goats and sheep. And hamsters. Yes, hamsters.

So when Fido gets older, just pair him with some sheep on wheels, and everyone can keep the good times rolling.
