Advice from The Other End of the Leash
The Other End of the Leash, website of Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist Patricia McConnell, Ph.D., is one of our favorite places to learn about the relationship between people and animals.
Now that the weather is nicer, many people are taking advantage of the longer days to enjoy our area's dog parks. Patricia's article, "When to Intervene in Dog-Dog Interactions" is a must-read, especially for frequenters to the dog park!

Lakeland Adoptables at Mukwonago EOTL
Stop by the Mukwonago EOTL this weekend to meet adoptables from Lakeland Animal Shelter!
- Friday, April 3rd from 2pm-5pm
- Saturday, April 4th from 11am-2pm
Did you know that Lakeland Animal Shelter cares for over 2,500 animals every year in the SE Wisconsin area? At any given time, they house 40-60 dogs and 150-400 cats, and do not limit their intake based on the ages, temperament or health of the animals. There is also no time limit for each animal's stay. Each individual is treated with respect and compassion, and is given the treatments and training he/she needs to reach their full potential for adoption. Read more about Lakeland's Mission and Philosophy.
