SEAL Team’s Cerberus

Found on the SEAL Team Wiki page

Are you a fan of the CBS show SEAL Team? Their military working dog, Cerberus, is set to play a large role in the Season 4 premiere on November 25th.

According to TVInsider, Cerberus and series star David Boreneaz (Jason) get separated from the rest of the team in the snowy mountains at Spin Ghar, where they must both come to terms with their super warrior skills waning with age.

Cerberus is portrayed by Dita the Hair Missile Dog, a real police dog, and is handled on the show by her police officer handler, Justin Melnick.

I can’t wait for this show to come back – it’s one of my favorites.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Home Manners

From The Dog Lady’s mailbag: The American Kennel Club is pleased to announce the launch of its exciting new Virtual Home Manners (VHM) Program. The program is designed to help teach dogs proper manners at home. Teaching their dogs to behave at home is important for owners, mentally stimulating for dogs, and home-based training can take place any time that fits into the schedule of the dog owner. The program will include two levels allowing puppies and dogs of all ages to participate.

“Many companion dogs have been added to families during the pandemic. Basic training for practical home manners should start as soon as we bring a puppy home,” said Doug Ljungren, Vice President of Sports and Events. “By providing home manners training, we lay the foundation for well-behaved dogs who are a joy for their families.” Continue reading AKC LAUNCHES NEW VIRTUAL HOME MANNERS TITLING PROGRAM →
