Hello All,

Back to one of our favorites - The Fells. Branching through four town directly Northwest of Boston, the Fells offers swimming, hiking, and an open field off leash area for dogs. Many of you have been there with us or on your own before. We do encourage carpooling for this due to the parking lot -- so if you can drive OR need/would like a ride, please post on the Message Board. Here is additional info. on the Middlesex Fells, http://www.mass.gov/d... Also attached is a trail map and below are directions for the parking lot I will be using but there are several to choose from. We want to meet by 1:15 in the FIELD as denoted on the map. If you have question give us a shout at info@boston-dogs.org or 617 419 5020.

Look forward to seeing you all there!

A reminder for newer members, please NO retractable leashes and bringing poop bag(s) and water as well as wearing running shoes or sneaker is a VERY good idea as well as possibly bug spray. We will also have rope and caribiners (sp.) for any "flight/runners" not yet trained. Please email me if you want to utilize this method of connecting to another dogs - Like my own, Shamrock or some of the senior group members.

WOOF!!

A new solution for anxious/aggressive dogs

Loud noises, unfamiliar places and separation anxiety are just a few of the causes of canine stress. An innovative new product is offering a medication-free solution. The Thundershirt is advertised to work by gently applying consistent pressure to a dog's torso in a way that is similar to the swaddling of a baby.

The product looks similar to a dog sweater from a distance. But unlike a sweater, it can be adjusted to help maintain appropriate pressure to your pet. The manufacturer of Thundershirt claims that the product is substantially effective on over 85 percent of dogs with anxiety issues. As this claim seems quite aggressive, the product's website has a section devoted to testimonials including many by vets who endorse it.

This was contributed to by several authors.
