Dear Dog Lover,

On a rare sunny, summer afternoon last year, two dog walkers headed toward each other from opposite ends of their local park.

One of the walkers was in trouble.

She felt the grip on her dog’s lead all but give way as the over-excited animal surged forward in an effort to reach the second walker’s dog up ahead.

The second dog walker was unflustered by the commotion taking place further on in front of him. The sight of a lady being pulled toward him by her overly eager canine co-walker didn’t appear to concern him or the equally calm, well mannered dog by his side. Instead he smiled, asked his dog to sit and waited until the increasingly stressed lady made her way close enough that the two could greet each other.

What happened next was quite amazing and explained everything about the way the two dogs had behaved.

As they met, dog walker number one passed on her thanks to the kind gentleman for standing calmly aside with his dog, acknowledging the difficulties she was clearly having with her own pet. Incredibly, it would turn out, the two dogs were brother and sister, born on the same day, of the same year, of the same parents.

What Was Different

Have you ever wondered, as I have, why a dog who lives on a farm never has the desire to chase birds or why an urban street dog shows more road sense than they could possibly have been born with? It isn’t because of a difference in intelligence or even that someone with incredible skills has taught the dogs not to follow their instincts. It’s all down to acquired knowledge. Dogs have an incredible capacity to learn from their own experiences. The farm dog learns quickly that despite his best efforts, he can never catch a duck swimming on a pond, a chicken running on the other side of a fence or a goose walking along a river bank. He learns because he tries everything he can to succeed but fails. He learns because he tries and fails for himself, by himself and because of himself.

The average family dog will always retain the strongest desire to chase the ducks, run into the road to pursue another dog or try to catch a chicken on the other side of a fence. They keep this desire because they never get the opportunity to learn for themselves that they will fail. A dog’s capacity to learn should never be underestimated. The difference between dog walker number one and dog walker number two was simple, one had been given an opportunity to learn, the other had not yet had the chance to fail by himself.

This is why I wanted to write to you. I wanted to explain that acquired knowledge is applicable to owners, even more so than their dogs. K9 Magazine can make your life with dogs more enjoyable, relaxing, fulfilling and rewarding.

The Truth About This Publication

Right now, as I write, there is only one magazine in the entire world that does what K9 Magazine does. It’s the only lifestyle magazine for dog lovers in Britain and its format is being widely emulated in countries such as Canada and America.

Every issue published delivers page after exciting page of information, advice, news, offers, competitions, discounts, product reviews and enthralling features for its readers to enjoy and share with their dog loving friends and family.

Guaranteed To Enhance Your Life With Dogs

As I go to work on the next issue of the magazine, it reminds me of the fact that we still haven’t reached all the people we want to reach with K9 Magazine. We are an independent publisher; we don’t spend millions of pounds marketing the magazine because we invest everything into the product itself.  The proof of that investment can be seen simply by picking up a copy and flicking from cover to cover, it’s truly bursting with the very best and most original content from some of the world’s leading canine experts, writers and professionals.

I’d love for you to sample K9 Magazine and acquire the sort of knowledge that will enhance your life with your dogs as much as it has for our growing number of delighted dog-owning readers.

What you will find inside K9 Magazine, you will not find anywhere else. For instance, you will not find a magazine serious enough to address the most important issues affecting dogs today such as the use of electric collars, whether or not booster vaccinations are needed, what is really in your dog’s food or whether the dangerous dogs act could lead to your favourite breed being outlawed. But remember, this is still the only magazine to offer you a cast-iron promise that you will truly enjoy reading it, so it’s equally packed with:

       Celebrity dog owner interviews and profiles
 Advice on the best cars for dog owners
 Home improvement ideas for people who share their homes with pets
 Pet friendly gardening advice
 Behaviour and training tips including expert columns from the world’s top experts
 Information on pet health and wellbeing
 Fantastic, winnable reader competitions
