Yellowstone Wolves, New Arrivals

Earlier this year I was in Yellowstone Park with Jan Fennell and other Dog Listeners, watching wolves. Thanks to the tremendous knowledge and skill of our guides Nathan and Linda we saw things that people who have been long term watchers have never seen.

One of these rare moments was to observe a mating ritual complete with 'tie'. If that wasn't special enough the pack involved were the 'Druids Peak Pack'. This particular pack have a very special place in the hearts of those involved in the regeneration of the wolf in the wild.

This morning we had a message from Linda Thurston that the Druids had been sighted with twelve, yes twelve puppies. What tremendous news and a huge boost for the survivability of the pack. We must remember that for a short time earlier this year that wolves were taken off the list of protected species and hunting was to be allowed. Happily common sense prevailed but they are always moves afoot to allow the killing of wolves to be made legal again. we will remain vigilant.

Dog Listener's Newsletter

We now have a new tool to help us spread the word about Amichien Bonding - the kind natural way to communicate with your dogs. Our own Newsletter. The first edition has just been published and you will be able to access it by clicking on the link below.

It carries a number of articles and I'm involved in three of them. Yellowstone Experience (I'm far right in the picture wearing a fetching little hat). Featured Dog Listeners about our involvement with rescue dogs from Afghanistan and their appearance at Crufts and finally, under the heading Health News is an article I wrote about Electric Shock Collars.

I don't yet know how often this Newsletter will be published but hope to keep getting involved in its content.

Read and enjoy. As always, any feedback welcome. http://www.listeningtoday.co.uk/
