Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan Weekend Benefit for Non-Profit Organization -- Seattle Dog WinterFest

At Super Cool Pets, we are avid fans of the Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan who has these words of frigid weather doggy wisdom :

Let your dog check the weather. Dogs don't have the Weather Channel, so they don't know why they are being denied a long walk for the day. Allow your dog to step outside and feel for itself that it is too cold or too stormy to go on a long walk. Instinctually, the dog will understand why it is coming back inside where it's safe. But be careful not to allow them to do this too often. They can learn to use this open door to manipulate and control you. Also, some dogs, if out in the cold for too long, will develop thicker fur and maintain their fat as a natural protection, so they may not feel the cold as intensely as we humans do. This can be an advantage if you want to continue to take your dog for walks in cold weather. However, please keep in mind that many short-haired breeds do not have this natural resistance to cold weather.

If you want to meet Cesar, and even join him for dinner, check out the Seattle Dog Winterfest. Enter the doggy talent contest, watch the Fido fashion show, and hang out with Cesar!
