Looking for a FUN ativity for your SENIOR DOG? Give Nosework a try. It's a 'go at your own pace' type of activity, perfect for the Senior Dog that can't participate in agility or other high-energy classes. Their eye sight and hearing may not be as good as it used to be - but their noses are still working - maybe even more! Check out the class at the Animal Friends Website. Link in comments

A dominance-focused, "alpha wolf" model has influenced dog training for a long time. But evidence shows that the most effective and healthy way to change a dog's behavior looks more like gentle parenting for pets, Kelly Conaboy wrote in 2023: https://theatln.tc/2l1jgEDK
