So many of you know our wonderful staff members Khaz and Vicki. Khaz is the funky, friendly redhead at the front desk and Vicki [...]
I’m very happy to announce that The Dog Liberator is sponsoring a free one-hour dog training session with Paul Pipitone, Dog’s Best Friend of Central Florida at Aloma Jancy Animal Hospital. The next training session will be announced. We are hoping these free sessions generate interest, because my intention is to provide them on the [...]

Holding it! Earlier this year, the following thread with suggestions for treating canine incontinence was posted on Facebook.
Holly has been doing some research today, and as usual, she shares with all of us what she’s found. I can’t wait to read this, but I really think that Ozzie and I should sit down and read it together! Here’s a great link from Cesar, “What your Dog is telling you!” and “5 Tips [...]
Today was a special day for our seven Bernese Collie puppies ~ they headed off to camp at the University of Doglando! Teena contacted me and asked if we’d like to participate in this unique children’s summer program and I was delighted to be able to say yes. Children 11 to 15 years of age [...]
If I could have a questionnaire for my dogs, it would probably read something like this: Are you an active dog that would like an active owner, or are you a couch potato? Do you like cats or do you think cats taste just like chicken? Would you like to have a playmate or would [...]
Holly is brilliant! She posted this on Facebook today. Check out this link Cesar’s 4th of July Tips Please read comments below as well for even more ideas! Personally, I know that my Lady Di will be terrified, but my China who is deaf, won’t care one bit!
So, you’re considering adopting a dog from The Dog Liberator. If it is one of the puppies that I foster, we’re going to spend some time talking, and I’m going to share with you a lot of tidbits that I have learned over the years. And then you’re going to get home with you puppy [...]
Just received this email from Fritzi about Sassafras, her Deaf OES: I don’t remember when I last felt such gratitude and love for an object, much less a dog training tool. But… after several months of car travel with a compulsive barker, I now enjoy almost completely silent rides. Sassy would be in the seat [...]
This Training event is from 11:00AM – 2:00 PM. Aloma Jancy Animal Hospital 3370 Pet Country Court Oviedo, FL 32765 (407) 671-1183 Hello again everyone. Last month’s free seminar went so well that I’ve decided to do it again. The date for the seminar is April 30th and the venue for this one will be [...]
Special thanks to Fritzi for sending us this great information! http://www.onlinedogcoach.com/index/articles/recent/hand-signals-for-deaf-dogs I do like this method and by chance, it’s the closest to the one I use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuFEQA7bxOo This video has quite a few signs for dogs. The woman is using ASL only and not the common obedience commands. This is a huge amount of [...]
Free Dog Training Clinic Hi, This is Paul with Dog’s Best Friend of Central Florida. I have been working with several rescues over the past few years, including The Dog Liberator. Gisele, Holly and I would like to invite anyone with doggie issues, large or small, to attend a free 2 hour information and training [...]
Flip is a young Border Collie. He’s on his way from Athens, AL and he has not been vetted or neutered yet. Information about his health will be coming soon. Flip is truly an over-achiever. I hear he loves the ball and disc, and judging from his looks, he reminds me of Flirt, Jetta, Chelsea, [...]
Gilligan is just a young boy. I saw a photo of him sent by Hope Master at Floyd/Rome, GA Animal Control. He was laying down. Hope said he was scared, but they’re all scared. So, Megan goes to pick him up off of transport last night, passes him off to Melissa, the CSR at Val-u-Vet. [...]
The Bryant family is very special to The Dog Liberator. They adopted one of our very first rescues, Augustus, now Charlie. A few months later they adopted the beautiful Sundrop, now Lola. And at our first Annual Reunion in October, they adopted our precious Durango, now Molly. Dog-savvy people, we love them! Imagine how our [...]
The new and improved Joey! See the January update below! Joey is about a year old, and was rescued from Miami Dade Animal Services. He was just vetted and neutered, and certainly not himself right now, however, he is also very thin and will need time to get healthy again. I’m anxious to meet [...]
This is Joan’s diary, which details her progress with Velveteen. Amazingly, the folks at Thundershirt have sent us several sizes, and I just ordered a small for a new 20 pound female deaf/blind Aussie coming to us this weekend. It proves that whatever issues the dog has, there’s a solution out there, and sometimes it’s [...]
After spending an afternoon watching Jason and Andrea Rigler demonstrate disc dogging, I think I can do it! OK, maybe not at the same level they do (backward flips????) but certainly I can get a dog to catch a frisbee. Not only did this talented and enthusiastic couple show us what their dogs could do, [...]
The purpose of the visit was to educate all of us on how to identify a potential disc dog. Jason provided us with a lot of information, and together, he and Andrea showed us how to get a puppy interested in the disc when they are very young. So while Holly will be putting together [...]
I get phone calls, sometimes 5 a week, from owners who want to surrender their dog. Usually, it’s because the dog is showing serious signs of aggression, sometimes toward children or other dogs. As I interview the owner, I am then informed that the owner not only allows the dog on their furniture, but actually [...]
If you thought that Shy Shannon, Trixie Belle, Chelsea and Nutella gave me a challenge, wait until you meet Nellie. Before I die into Nellie’s story, remember Cassie, Carter’s Mom? This little girl looks so much like Cassie it’s scary! Nellie came from Mobile Alabama, our transport coordinator Christina and Suzanne were kind enough to [...]
