The Dog Whisperer came to our neighborhood here in Laurel Canyon through the canine misfortunes of my neighbor Jane’s dog Gus. Gus obeyed everyone except Jane. Although Jane had saved Gus’s life on numerous occasions (literally) Gus didn’t seem to be aware of the fact, although he was totally attached to Jane he gave her a really tough time - behavior wise.

Enter the Dog Whisperer.

Normally, you heard Jane and Gus coming down the street long before you saw them.

GUS! STOP IT!.’ GUS DOWN! GUS SIT! These were the precursors, along with the sounds of bushes breaking, shoes skidding on gravel and good natured growling of Gus dragging Jane down the street on one of their many daily walks around the hill.

Today it was different. I didn’t even hear them walking up to me as I watered the plants in front of our house. They took me completely by surprise. I didn’t hear a thing but there they were. Totally quiet - like Ninjas. I was amazed.

Jane, what happened to Gus!’ He’s a totally different person. Did aliens come down and take over his body’ Is he on drugs’ Are you on drugs’ What happened’ It’s great he’s a new dog!

The Dog Whisperer happened is what happened.

The Dog Whisperer’ What’s the Dog Whisperer’

Cesar Milan the Dog Whisperer.

Who’s he’ I asked.

He’s this amazing guy in East L.A.’ I heard about through my friend Chris. He does things with dogs that will blow your mind. She said as Gus just sat there quiet as the perverbial mouse.

You mean this Dog Whisperer guy changed Gus’s behavior this radically’

Yes and it’s wonderful. Nobody knows about Cesar right now but he told me he’s going to be an Oprah and then he’ll be famous for what he can do with dogs that are considered unreachable.

Well, I said still somewhat stunned by Gus’s new persona, based on what he did turning Gus around I can sure believe that! Do you know why they call him the Dog Whisperer’ Does he whisper to dogs like the Horse Whisperer’

Jane said she wasn’t sure but that Cesar had this uncanny ability to communicate with dogs in a way that the animals responded to. He wasn’t an animal psychic, but a behavior expert when it comes to dogs with an uncanny ability to communicate to dogs.

Since Jane knew I own a record company that creates music for animals and used animal communicators she suggested I try and get in touch with Cesar to do some music about what he does.

A Dog whisperer CD’ I liked the idea. Unfortunately, I didn’t act on it soon enough. The Dog Whisperer did, in fact, go on Oprah and became a huge hit so that by the time I did try to contact him about making music for dogs he was so famous I couldn’t get through to him so our Dog Whisperer CD never got off the ground.

All I know is whatever the Dog Whisperer whispered; it worked and made our neighborhood a better and quieter place to live. My hat is off to Jane and Gus and Cesar.

To the Dog Whisperer. Maybe someday we’ll be able to create some music with Cesar and the dogs. Until then, if you have a dog you can’t handle, before you take it to the pound or give it away call Cesar Milan the Dog Whisperer. It will change you and your dog’s life in ways you can only dream about..

Most people don’t realize just how important a dog name is to you and your dog. I didn’t until I started creating music for dogs with the help of an intuitive animal communicator.

We dealt with many dogs and many dog names in the process of involving the dogs directly in the creative process of making music with dogs. After working with our communicator and literally hundreds of dogs for a period of months I learned that a dog’s name has far more effect on an pet and its guardian than just being a name.

We learned that, many times, when a dog didn’t like its name it exhibited anti social behavior such as chewing, urinating and constantly trying to escape from the house. Sometimes when the dog’s name wasn’t liked it would act in an antisocial manner towards other dogs in the home also. A dog name that was not liked by its recipient could also involve nipping and biting.

We also learned that a dog name improperly given could cause the animal to become ill. I was this happen several times. However, when the dog’s name was changed to a name that the animal liked, the illness and symptoms disappeared. I was amazed that a name could have so strong an effect on dogs and their behavior.

There was also another aspect of a dog name that we became aware of during this process. A wonderful way to choose a dog name for a new canine addition to your family and home whether they come from the pound or are born into the family is to pick nine or ten names that you can live with then try out each of the names for a day or two. You will be amazed when your dog chooses the name they like. They will respond to the name instantly, literally choosing it’s name for itself.

This process will save you and your new addition a whole lot of trouble and heartache and help insure a good relationship between you and your dog. A dog name is a powerful tool to help insure a good relationship and communication between you and your best friend.

It’s not just dog names either. The same principle applies to any other animal (and probably your children also) you become involved with. Dog names, cat names, bird names and any other pet addition to the family.

So, the next time you have to choose a dog name, try this process out. It might make all the difference in the relationship you build with your dog not to mention the money you’ll save on vet bills, reupholstering, lost sleep and peace of mind for you and your dog. Dog’s names. There’s more there than meets the ear.

Dog toys have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In fact, they even became part of my business and music. You don�t realize it, but if you have a dog you�re going to end up spending a lot of money on dog toys.

Of all dog toys, squeaky toys in particular are my favorites. Despite the fact they drive me crazy every night about one o�clock in the morning when my Griffon, Afghan, Terrier, Border Collier mix, Eliza Doolittle decides to get frisky and wants to involve me a dog toy game, I still have a soft spot in my heart for toys that squeak.

In fact I like them so much, we sometimes use them as a basis for songs � or rather, we use them as instruments. Dog toys with squeakers inside make great lead instruments when we create our songs for dogs. You�d be surprised how difficult it is to make a dog toy sound good � whether it squeaks or barks � plus they�re really hard to tune.

That, however, did not stop us from creating Squeaky Deaky � an homage to dogs and dog toys. You�d be surprised to know how many dog toys I had to go through to find the squeaky toy with the exact sound, pitch and duration suitable for recording and performance art.

I spent about two weeks getting thrown out of dog toy departments because I�d been standing there for twenty minutes squeezing dog toys to find just that right balance between pitch and playability.

Once I found the right instrument, we went into the studio and immediately recorded Squeaky Deaky. Then, to check and see if we had used the proper dog toy sound brought in our resident dog testers and music critics � Budha and Eliza Doolittle. Both responded by howling and circling the speakers so we knew right there we had chosen the right dog toy for the song. I still have to be careful playing that song around the house � Eliza still goes goofy � and I know why.

After all that careful searching in the pet stores for the right dog toy, it turned out that Eliza�s old indestructible squeaky foot was the dog toy that ended up in the recording. She knows it�s her toy and wants it back. The dog has a memory like an elephant. I got her a replacement � in fact, many replacements but no dice. That was her dog toy and no other dog toy would do.
