Welcome to "Gone to the Dogs".  On this page you will find a pet-lover's treasure of links to various types of pet--particularly dog--related websites.

    This site, like many others I imagine-- was inspired by Coda , our new puppy.  Before and upon his arrival I began hunting desperately on the web for as much helpful information I could find.  In the search, I amassed quite an impressive collection of Pet-related websites.   Imagine the scenario--new pet owner hears that "crate-training" is by far the best way to potty-train new puppies.    Well, that's all fine & great, except I had no idea HOW to go about "crate-training" my cute little pain-in-the-butt!!   I needed help!!  And I found it in abundance on the World Wide Web.

    Now my little bundle of energy is nearly 6 months old, and all of our furniture, shoes and patience is still intact!  Plus, he's become an excellent playmate for our older dog, Guiness, a 10 year old GSD **German Shepherd Dog**.   I guess you can say he's brought our her "Inner-Puppy".

    Another mission of this website is to showcase original pet-related graphics.  I know there are alot of canine graphics out there on the web, but here you will see some that pertain to more specific breeds, or dog-related clubs, such as Agility, that I couldn't find anywhere else.    So, I finally taught myself how to use that pesky PaintShopPro program I had bought.  And, to my surprise, it really wasn't that hard after all!

 First off, I will start with links to my favorite Puppy-related sites:

 PetEducation.com   This site is also linked from Drs. Foster and Smith website as well.  Great potty & crate training tips!

 Dr. P's Dog Training Virtual Library   Dr. P's is an awesome site with links for everything and anything having to do with dogs.   Excellent puppy training links, and also a great place to find dog-sports links too!
