Music that soothes you and your dog!!

Through my readings and research, I always try to find interesting pieces of dog information to share. I want to pass on information that can be used to improve the quality of life for the dog and dog owner alike.

One of the most recent things that I have found is the website of a woman who has recorded CD’s for dogs to keep them calm, cool and collected, especially those dogs who suffer from separation anxiety.

Debi Weldon is a dog lover and becasue of her love for dogs, she sought to create something that would make their lives better. When she was at home one day listening to classical music, she noticed how her dog seemed to truly enjoy the music, watching the CD player to insure that the pleasure wouldn’t end. Ms. Weldon began to leave music on for her dog when she wasn’t home and noticed her dog was relaxed and happy when she returned. Debi also talked to her dogs as many of us do, but in addition to conversation, Debi would engage in storytelling to her dogs. She decided to combine her storytelling with classical music to create the company your dog needs when you are not there.

Titles of some of the “song stories” include “My Favorite Foods”, “Tails at the Fire Hydrant”, “My Favorite Foods”, “I Love My House” and several others. Ms. Weldon’s CD, “Soothing Stories and Music for the Solo Dog” has received some wonderful reviews coming from noted publications such as, Vanity Fair, Modern Dog, and the website, Bowzer.biz. The reviewer from bowzer.biz said he tried it on his own dog and was thrilled with the results. The dog, Bowzer was entranced with “My Favorite Foods” set to Mozart and the author feels your dog will be too.

To learn more about Debi Weldon, her life with her dogs and her very popular CD, check out her website at www.dogstoriesandmusic.com
