 FEEDING RAW FOOD TO DOGS I had read about feeding raw food to dogs and cats years before I ate the Primal Diet. I tried it with my cat but I didn’t succeed. He was too old and he was used to easy to eat, mushy food. I gave up.

 When I work with dogs, especially difficult dogs, I am well advised to remain in the present moment, actually seeing and hearing what is around me. The dog can tell the difference in the quality of my attention. The dog respects me more and I have a better chance of influencing him/her in a "present" state of mind.
On September 25th, 26th and 27th I spent all day with Aimee Sadler and her son Kodi at the Dogs Playing for Life Workshop in Santa Maria, learning how to run playgroups for shelter dogs.
Here is a video of one of the playgroups
These are largely unsocialized dogs, living in kennels, benefitting tremendously by these playgroups! After the playgroups the dogs are calmer, happier, quieter and more adoptable.
