I have an American Eskimo and he used to be pure white. Lately he is white with little tan streaks. I use a whitner shampoo on him, but it doesn't seem to get him as white as he used to be. What is the best whitener shampoo available?
You could try using some bicarbonate of soda, comes in powder form and mix it with a little water into a paste. Let it sit on a small patch for 5 minutes and rinse of thoroughly as it has a grainy texture. My mother uses it for tear staining on her Maltese and swears by it. I don't no how affective it really is but it is harmless, cheap and a lot of people use it as a natural cleaning produce

Homes sought for dogs
12.01.10
Foster homes are still desperately needed for dozens of dogs abandoned in the Northwest Territories, and a Calgary animal lover assisting the rescue hopes locals will lend a hand.
Jenn Mulrooney, a graphic designer at the Calgary Sun, volunteered to help find homes for up to 70 pooches after reading a plea on an animal rescue website from the NWT SPCA.
But so far just six foster homes have been found — three in Edmonton and three in Vancouver, she said yesterday (WED).
Mulrooney’s hoping Calgarians will also heed the call for assistance to temporarily care for one of the large breed dogs.
“We are in desperate need still of foster homes,” she said, adding the dogs include Husky and Shepard-crosses.
“I’m just hoping people will open their doors.”
The difficulty is many of those who have stepped forward to help can only house small breed dogs, said Mulrooney.
“It’s challenging — it’s been three weeks of non-stop work for me,” she said about finding appropriate foster homes.
Loki was and still is a reactive , alert dog. When I started training almost two years ago with Loki, we trained occasionally in a dog park, with a long line. Needless to say, Loki was freaked. Numerous dogs would run amok while I and Christi-Ann (our trainer) would make him do stuff like heel, long down-stays, recalls with downs half way and the biggie: down out of sight for 3 minutes. There were days when Alpha leader (”Uncle Lance” K9 Clinic owner) showed up to train us. Together we learned all about how far we could push Loki before it was time to call it a day. There were days I went home crying. I cried because deep down, I knew Loki was and is an incredibly smart dog and when he’s calm and confident, he’s obedient, funny, smart, alert and a great partner. Yet he acted so much like a cracker-insane freaked out dog in public. Doing a dog park exercise like this a year ago with Loki used to send me home, bug-eyed and in need of a stiff drink.
We use the dog park on occasion, but have found we prefer the hiking. The Herd does fairly well around most other dogs, though there is always the exception that they do not like.
Great exercise for Loki to know that he has to obey even in a stimulating setting like a dog park.
P.S. – Come on – some day you will have a Herd of Sibes.
No jokes here I am continually amazed at all the training you do. It’s very enlightening. I myself dislike dog parks but only because I feel other people are poor judges of their own dogs behaviors. Norwood is very social but a poor greeter (at least on leash). He stares and can initiate a scuffle, especially with my presence. I call him an aggressive greeter which includes his people friendly tackling. The day camp he attends is a bit crazy.. and he gets along fine in there so I think it’s me and my confidence level. And our cuz Tula’s a reactive dog -learn alot thru her training too! Knowing Tula and also seeing other “normal” dogs in training class, I see many more reactive dogs than owners realize. Anyways, LOKI and mom you rock!
