Thinking about fostering an adoptable dog?
Before you start fostering it's also important you have all the necessary supplies. A quick visit to a pet store can get you everything you'll need. I found that out with the first animal I fostered. I had forgotten to get a litterbox! Luckily, it was easily remedied. ( http://aquaworldpittsburgh.com )

10 dog breeds that love the water
I have 2 Vizslas and they love the water. We have a boat on Lake Michigan and they can hardly wait to jump in the lake for a swim. We have a pool at home too. If I open the cover they are in the pool before it fully opens. Our other Vizsla that pasted on love the water too.

Embrace your dog, just not literally
I have had dogs in the past that I would agree with the no hugging, but we have a pit bull that, especially with children, actually snuggles up to your chest like he wants you to hug him.

I have noticed that they tend to be overly affectionate, especially the males and more with children, or at least ours have been. I... (continued)

So dog sharing is where you share the care of your dog with someone else in the local community. It could be anything from occassional walks to a second home and anything in ... (continued)

10 Dog Breeds That Love The Water
The first time we took our black lab into the river, she promptly sank to the bottom! We just assumed that she would have a natural ability to swim, but how wrong we were! She survived the sinking, but we had to literally teach her how to swim. Now she is 3 and absolutely loves the water.

Dominance: Dog training's dirty word
My 4 month old black lab has alot of energy. Sometimes, after a walk, during a walk or when just playing in the backyard he will stop, look at me then basically "atttack" me... He jumps up starts biting at me. I have tried the "ignoring" thing and the "rolling on the back and "muzzling" thing as well, he reacts better to the dominance roll. Any suggestions?
