Greetings,

January is Walk Your Pet Month. What a great way to start the year! I can't tell you how many behavior problems can be helped by providing more structured exercise. And it can actually help you to meet your own fitness goals. A recent study from the University of Missouri found that people who walk with dogs are more consistent in their exercise routine than those who walk with a human -- what could be a better way to burn off those holiday calories?

How can you participate in Walk Your Pet Month? Find out.



Problems on the Walk?

Many people don't take their dogs on as many walks as they should because they have issues keeping their dog under control. Whether it's pulling, lunging, or other problem behaviors, there's hope! Take time this month to work on the walk.

Shelter or Rescue Group? Become a Shelter Star!

Shelter Stars, the Millan Foundation's animal shelter affiliation program created in 2009, promotes positive, healthy relationships between families and the dogs they adopt from re-homing organizations across the country. Currently, over 400 Shelter Stars partners are distributing copies of People Training for Dogs (the most popular volume in Cesar Millan's Mastering Leadership DVD series) free of charge to families that adopt shelter dogs. More than 1,000 DVDs were sent home with new adopting families in the first three months of the Shelter Stars program.
