The Whole Dog Jo
urnal (WDJ) calls itself a monthly guide to natural dog care and training, but in our eyes it is so much more. With its expertly written articles about issues many dog owners face, we feel it is a must have resource for any owner who wants to stay well informed. Here are just a few reasons why we love WDJ:
Relatable articles with simple solutions to common problems.
Many of us have dealt with a dog with some anxiety issues, whether major or minor. In their article “Be Brave“, WDJ offers simple exercises using basic training behaviors to help desensitize a dog to scary stimuli.
Practical information written in an easy to understand format with lots of visual aides.
In their August 2011 issue, WDJ published “A Dictionary of Canine Body Parts“, that included both detailed descriptions of body positioning and photos of these behaviors.
Articles are written by industry experts as archival information.
This isn’t a disposable magazine! All articles are written to be kept as long term reference materials on many different subjects. Dr. Randy Kidd’s article “Understanding Canine Allergies” from August of 2004 still has incredible value to anyone wanting to learn more about why and how allergies happen, as well as effective treatments.
WDJ is free of advertising or sponsors allowing for unbiased opinions and advice.
Unlike other magazines in its genre, WDJ does not receive any money from advertisers or sponsors. This allows the expert writing staff to expression their opinions freely and give you unbiased advice about which products preform best. One excellent example of this is WDJ’s yearly review of both wet and dry dog foods.
