Hendricks County Animal Control and Hendricks County Humane Society Please Help

I tried to volunteer at the Hendricks County Animal Control and was shocked to discover they do not allow volunteers. I am now a member of a group that is working to make changes at Animal Control. We would like to have the Humane Society help Animal Control with volunteers, adoptions, etc. Apparently this is a much more difficult task than I originally thought.



A member of the group I joined has created a Facebook page that outlines some of the problems.



We are just… Continue

Consistency

Pick a training method. Any training method and there will be one common theme through them all. Consistency. I train with alot of dogs and people (the people are the hardest) and always communicating with your dog in the same way makes everyone's job easier. Having the words mean the same thing each time along with the same results for following them or not following is paramount in working with your dog.



Let's take the command "Come" as an example. If I always want my dog to come… Continue

ANGELA CAIN GIVES PET PALS SOME LOVE!

When you open yourself up to new adventures, it's often surprising the startling things that can come your way. I have Meniere's Disease, which is permanent and progressive and has left me with profound hearing loss and balance issues.. That's the bad news.



The good news is continuing to grow.



Because of the depression and isolation I felt when I had to quit my hearing intensive job at WISH-TV several years ago, I knew I needed help. Not with more pills or booze or… Continue

excercise, excercise, excercise.

Exercising your dog is one of the most important things you can do to help your pet be happy and healthy. Exercise can help alleviate stress and anxiety just as it does with people. Low energy dogs are easiest to exercise as a just a nice walk around the block once daily will give them what they need. Where problems arise is the higher energy dogs. A single walk might not be enough to satisfy their craving for physical activity.

Why is my dog scratching so much – it drives us all crazy?!?

Sometimes its as easy as go to a grain-free food. Sometimes, you have to do an elimination diet and…
