I am way beyond excited!
My newest book, SnowMan, has been published!
The third volume in my Christmas series.
The sweetest story of all:

Driving a busload of happy, young scouters on rain-slick roads John Benjamin Frosst is faced suddenly with the unimaginable. In a fraction of a moment, he makes a decision, selflessly offering his life in exchange for the lives of innocents.
Now confronted with the knowledge that the comfortable existence he had expected is in tatters, Ben realizes that, instead of doing the serving he loves, he must now humbly receive it from others.
Hampered by this new reality, the fine man that is still Ben Frosst discovers the term ‘handicapped’ is only a starting point from which to find new ways to give and to help.
That service comes in many forms.
And, with enough love and support, anything is possible.
Diane Stringam Tolley’s newest Christmas novel is a charming, heart-warming story of sacrifice, love and the strength of family and community.                                                                                                                                     

Sometimes, life simply doesn’t turn out the way you plan.And that’s just fine.

How To Create A Canine Good Citizen

Dogs do not have the same ability to think as humans do, therefore you should not try to treat your dog as an intellectual equal. Doing so will leave one sadly disappointed by the results they receive. In this article you are going to learn the proper way to treat your dog during the training process.

When crate training an indoor dog or puppy, you may try some tricks. If the dog doesn't want to get in the crate try putting a chew toy in it and close the gate when they're not there. They will see and smell the bone and will want you to let them in there to get it. After your dog goes into the crate, give positive reinforcement to increase the chance that he will go into the crate again.



Teach your puppy his name when you first start training him, as this creates a bond between the two of you. Use his name on a regular basis, and teach him that the appropriate response to hearing is name is to come over to you. His name should be the first word he learns. Try to spend a good amount of time with your new dog. More advanced training will be much easier later if your dog trusts and loves you.



Stay very consistent and persistent when starting your crate training regimen. As soon as you let your dog out of the crate, take him to his potty location. As time passes, your puppy will start to be able to use the restroom at the appropriate times.



Using a different tone of voice for different purposes is a great teaching tool for training your dog. Use a clearly defined tone for different commands, encouragement or directives. This makes it easier for the dog to link your expectations with different behaviors. Commands must be sharp and firm, corrections should be loud and praise should be given in a natural tone.



You should always try to be aware of any other dogs when you are going for a walk with your dog. If you are you looking for more information in regards to web site have a look at hccafe.org/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php Not all dogs are friendly, and not all owners are responsible. Refrain from walking near dogs that are aggressive.



When you are traveling together with a dog, make a dog travel bag. Pack his feeding bowls, potty bags, toys, blankets and everything else needed for his care and comfort. You can buy dog food when you get there, of course, which is a lot easier than bringing it with you.



Choose an easily teachable action to train your dog with in the beginning. You will remain motivated if you can train it successfully right away, and your dog will get used to obeying you. You'll have better results this way.



You need to show your dog how to properly walk while on a leash. This will help keep your dog and you safe when going for walks.



Is your dog getting all their required nutrients? Dogs who eat crummy, low quality food will show hyperactivity, distraction and disobedience. The right diet can make all the difference in your pet's behavior. Consult your veterinarian about any special dietary needs that your dog might require.



If you're traveling with dogs, remember to have everything that your pet may need in terms of sleeping as well as when it comes to using the bathroom. You need to bring bowls, his leash and bathroom supplies to ensure you can travel comfortably. There is no need to bring along the bag of dog food; you can buy some when you reach your destination.



After learning some helpful hints on how to get through to your dog and train it to behave to your expectations you simply need to follow what you have learned. After changing your dogs behavior to fit with the tips suggested you can properly train your dog.
