Home Alone never again for Fido



imageHave you ever rented the DVD Benji in a desperate attempt to keep your pooch entertained while you were out at the supermarket buying groceries? Do you worry about Fido who's been home alone all day when the boss tells you that you have to work overtime tonight?

The Pet Network via Pet Entertainment Products Inc. (PEPI) introduces Your Dog Companion, "the first scientifically-based DVD collection especially designed to allow dogs to watch and listen from their own perspective." The new collection was created by world-renowned dog behaviourist Dr. Stanley Coren and was designed to entertain and amuse dogs while their owners carry on with their daily lives. A spin-off benefit is that owners will appreciate that DVDs can actually relieve and then eliminate the problematic behaviour that are associated with leaving dogs at home alone. "Much like people, dogs want to be entertained in their daily lives," says Dr. Coren, "and Your Dog Companion does just that, keeping dogs engaged and stimulated when their owners aren't available to play." Each of the four titles in the DVD series is filled with exciting vistas that resonate with dogs, and the soundtracks are designed to help reduce hypersensitivity to noises such as thunder, doorbells and knocking, sirens and fireworks. If ever there was a starring role for the neighbourhood postman, this is it! Owners will notice after just a couple of days that their canine will react more calmly to their everyday surroundings. "Owners of dogs with separation anxiety know that solutions are limited and usually quite costly, ranging from replacing slippers to hiring a sitter," says Dr. Coren. "I'm very excited about this product, because I love dogs. I know the feeling people get from leaving their family pet alone each day." Regarded as one of the world's most foremost experts on dog behaviour and training, Dr. Coren has spent years helping unhappy dogs and owners overcome their anxieties, and is also featured in the Good Dog Series. Your Dog Companion is the culmination of Dr. Coren's celebrated career and a legacy that stems from his years of research. The four-disc Your Dog Companion makes a better stocking stuffer than a ball or a bone this holiday season, and can be purchased separately or complete, exclusively online at www.thedogdvd.com, with individual DVDS starting at $19.99. A portion of every sale is donated to the Ontario SPCA. Fido says: Pass the popcorn.
