The holiday season is upon us, and soon our homes will be filled with a steady stream of family, friends, and tasty food. While this is a joyous time, it can also be challenging if your dog is charging the door, jumping on guests, or stealing the hors d'oeuvres. In this month's feature article Holiday Manners 101, Irith Bloom offers simple training tips that will impress your guests and help ensure a peaceful and joyous holiday season. Will you be traveling with your dog for the holidays? Karen Pryor introduces Erasing Fear, an inspiring account of how one clever gun-dog owner used a clicker and some guiding principles to help his dog overcome fear of the family truck.

Michelle McClelland, Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) Certified Training Partner (CTP) and the owner of My Dog the Dolphin in Duncanville, Texas, is celebrating a third-place win in the 2012 Extreme Mutt Makeover challenge. The challenge is a terrific initiative that helps to promote pet adoption and the benefits of positive training.
