Recommendations for puppy training?

[tap01.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone!

My wife and I recently got a puppy. She is an adorable little chocolate lab, but unfortunately she doesn't seem to listen too much (she is a puppy after all). She could definitely benefit (and so could us) from some obedience or puppy training classes. Does anyone have any recommendations for some puppy training? I see that PetSmart offers some classes, does anyone have any experience with them?

We and our dog will be very thankful for any help, Thanks!

I work as a pet sitter. One of my clients has asked me to take care of her dog during a time she'll be out of town (24-26 March). Since I will be unavailable on those days, I need someone who can cover for me. She lives close to Tufts (on the Medford side) and needs her dog walked twice a day.

Who would you folks recommend?

Hello,

Am I the only one who thinks that white lights strung up on the trees of the Square year-round looks really tacky?

Waiting for a late bus this afternoon, I counted over half of the trees had blown-out strands, so a good portion of the branches were merely wrapped with unlit wires...not to mention the ugly white tubing up against each trunk and held in place by three or more thick white plastic bands. I also noticed a lot of broken branches held in place by the wires.

I'm all for the natural beauty of a picturesque tree-lined square. Who decided this artificial look is better? I'm sure the electricity costs aren't that significant, but I believe this money would be better spent elsewhere....
