If you’re reading this, the odds are good that you’ve figured out we now have a blog. We want to extend a special thanks to our Web guru, Nicole, for getting this all set up and giving us another channel to communicate with folks and post updates and things of that sort.

We’re hoping the blog will be more interactive, as we’re always up for comments and feedback on things that may be of interest to you. Don’t forget, you can also follow us on Facebook (search for ringdog@ringdogrescue.org) or feel free to sign up for our newsletter on the main page of our website. read more

So Smiley came home yesterday after spending 3 weeks at Holiday Barn training with Melanie, and I’m happy to report that he is a different dog! Melanie taught him the “climb” command which is similar to stay and it actually works! Last night I had him climb on the dog bed and he stayed there until we went to bed. This is the first time we’ve been able to have Smiley out in the house with all of the other dogs – not because he is aggressive but because he is overwhelming! The “climb” command helps him with self control and as a result his life is going to be even more more rich than its ever been before! I cannot wait to see what Melanie does with the next dog! Thank you Melanie and Holiday Barn for giving Smiley a new lease on life! Stay tuned for more of Smiley’s adventures 😉 http://www.holidaybarn.com/ read more
