TAMPA, FL -- 05/20/08 --
Animal Planet Pet Video (APPV)
(
www.animalplanetpv.com), producer and distributor of industry leading dog-
and cat-training videos, has successfully distributed the first 250,000 of
its signature Shelter Helper program DVDs to participating pet rescue
organizations across the United States. The program provides dog- and
cat-training DVDs to new pet parents of adopted pets through participating
shelters, free of charge, to assist both pet and pet parent with the
transition. This amazing program is made possible through the generous
support of sponsors like Bayer Animal Health whose assistance funded this
initial distribution.
"With the Shelter Helper DVDs we are able to send every new pet parent home
with valuable information that will help them establish a life-long bond
from day one," said Karen Sands of the Humane Society of Greater Kansas.
"The information on these DVDs also helps pet parents address many common
pet training and behavioural issues, reducing the number of returned pets
and assisting with the pet overpopulation problem facing our animal
shelter, as well as many others across the country."
The training DVDs provide easy-to-follow pet training covering common
issues faced by pet parents including house training, crate training,
chewing, jumping, mouthing, and manners in dogs and how to prepare your
home, litter box training, playtime, scratching and marking in cats. The
format of the dog- and cat-training videos are short and easy to understand
making them effective tools for all members of the family including
children and adults.
"At Animal Planet Pet Video we strive to accomplish two goals with our
Shelter Helper DVD program. First, to eliminate the return of adopted pets
by providing adopters with pet-friendly, proven training advice and
secondly, to help families form a fantastic bond with their new pet,"
stated Traci Theis, APPV trainer. "Through the gracious support of sponsors
that share in our vision in supporting shelter pets and pet parents, we are
able to able to make a difference and help many families add a new loving
member."
APPV will be distributing a total of 2 million Shelter Helper DVDs in 2008.
