The Other End of the Leash
I subscribe to a LOT of blogs; to me they are like free magazine subscriptions about subjects I find really interesting. One of the blogs I subscribe to is written by animal behaviorist Patricia McConnell, who is a world famous author and speaker. She reviewed a book in her blog that will not be published until April, but it sounds fascinating, so I will probably have to buy it.
Here is the URL for her blog: view link I strongly urge you to check it out. The discussions that follow her postings are amazing. Dog people have a generous nature and they share knowledge and experience with great joy.
She has a border collie that has a problem with its shoulder and is not able to engage in some of its normal activities. Border collies need to be kept busy, so Patricia McConnell devised a morning routine for her dog that keeps his mind occupied. In the process she has discovered that scent work for a dog is as exhausting as several hours of physical activity. There was some conversation exploring the ways that dogs deal with scents and tracking or trailing in the replies to her posting. All in all, an absorbing blog.
