Your Dog off Leash (10 minutes)
Public demand for recreational open space for dog owners is rapidly becoming a
top
priority for park planners. This introductory video
describes the variety of open
space concepts and the responsibilities dog owners have for using and
maintaining
them. Courtesy, control and clean up
are key themes. Your Dog off Leash can
be used
effectively by those lobbying local governments
for dog parks, as an educational tool
by kennel
and obedience clubs, and as a public service presentation.
Adopting the Adult Dog (10 minutes)
Those who choose to bring an adult dog home have the advantage of avoiding
puppy training
but are often confronted with different adjustment
problems. Many
of these can be solved before
the new dog comes home. Adopting the Adult Dog
offers
training tips and ideas for general care that can help make the initial
adjustment period go as
smoothly as possible. This video is ideal for shelters that
offer adult dog adoption as a means of
reducing the numbers of dogs returned for
behavior problems.

children, the setting is urban. The video comes with an
activity guide for upper
elementary teachers.
The Urban Dog Park (30 minutes)
This video takes you to dog parks from
coast-to-coast. See how
other communities
build and maintain dog parks. Steve Eltinge interviews dog owners from coast-to-coast
gathering ideas for you.
The pleasure of our canine friends as they take advantage
of community dog parks is reason
enough to view this video. If your
city fathers are
on the edge of approving a dog park,
this will convince them that it works!
