Feature / Reading with Rover Radio Spot

First of all, we just want to say how thankful we are to everyone who has supported us during this time following “Bloo’s” passing. The cards in the mail have blessed us immensely and the compassion our friends and clients have showered us with have meant more to us than you’ll ever know… Truly, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for loving us and loving Bloo—it makes me realize what an impact he had on his community in the short time he was here and what a one-of-a-kind dog he truly was.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

But we’re an optimistic family and we can only feel down for so long before we start itching for that hopeful outlook, the glass-half-full mentality, and the pursuit of the next great thing.

So we wanted to shed some insight into what we have coming up here on the blog and we’d like to hear more feedback from our readers about what you are dying to know! We have a feature quickly approaching that addresses “jumping/door greeting manners” and we’re really excited to share this information with you. But what else would you like to know? What areas do you struggle with your dog? Also, tell us what works for you! We can’t tell you how often we learn new things from what our clients have tried themselves! For example…

TRAINING TIP: Frozen stringcheese! If you have a ravenous dog, freeze your string cheese instead of using soft! It forces them to really work at the treat, slows down their ability to chew, and makes the cheese itself last ten times longer! How’s that for practicality?

So if you have questions or if you’ve discovered great techniques that work, please share them with us! And perhaps they, too, will make their way onto the blog!

In the meanwhile, we’d like to share another bit of exciting news! Becky and “Harry” had the opportunity to be guests on the Sundusky Radio Seattle station last week, sharing information on our favorite children’s literacy program, Reading with Rover with Gary Shipe. We also have some photos from the interview!* Check ‘em out! Even “Harry” got in on the interview action!

The interview airs this Sunday, August 15th, at the following times: KKNW 1150AM at 5:00am, KIKI 880AM at 5:30am, KWJZ 98.9FM at 6:00am, and KQMV 92.5FM at 6:30am.

So all you early morning commuters, tune in! And let us know what you think!
