  • Dogzies Dayschool and Boarding Newsletter August 2010
    Newsletter August 2010 Dogzies would like to thank all of our loyal customers for their support this summer. This is the first issue of our newsletter. Look for the next issue in September. Dogzies Dayschool and Boarding Do you worry about leaving your dog at home? Dogzies can help you! You can bring your dog to Dogzies dayschool, where your dog will have the opportunity to socialize with other dogs, learn basic behavior skills, and go on walks. During the morning from 9:30- 11:00 your dogs will be trained as a group on basic training such as sit, down, mat, and heel. From 11:00-1:30 is the rest period for the dogs, where they get to relax, watch T.V., eat lunch, and socialize in a positive environment with other dogs. Then from 1:30-4:00 is when the dogs get to enjoy their walks. They will be walked either through the orchard or in the city on a city excursion. While one of the staff members takes the dogs on walks, another does office training with a few of the dogs at a time. This means that the dogs are also learning their basic behvaiour skills both in an inside and outside environment. You can either drop your dog off at the Superstore gasbar, where the Dogzies van will wait from 7:00-8:30 to take you dog to the centre. You can also call to have your dog picked up and brought to Dogzies centre, or you can drop your dog off at the centre yourself from 8:30-1:00.

Today’s Jack Russell’s are characterized by two-tone or tri-color patterns of white, brown, and sometimes black. Modern day Jack Russell’s are also much more sturdy and muscled than their ancestors. The breed was originally known as the Fox Terrier. The breed was renamed in the late 1800’s for the world renowned hunting enthusiast, Reverend John Russell. Russell was born in 1795 into a devoutly religious family that lived in the countryside of Dartmouth, England. Russell was educated at Blundell’s School and would later attend Oxford University. By 1814 the nineteen year old Russell was associating with the nobles and aristocrats of England.
