Australian-Shepherd-Lovers.com Newsletter #108 Last Minute Christmas Shopping Ideas For Australian Shepherd Lovers... Christmas has a way of sneaking up on me for some reason. What seems like lots of time in October, turns into plenty of time left in November, to crunch time in December. (Even this newsletter is a bit late this month.) If you're like me and you're still looking for last minute gift ideas—but it's too late to order anything online and get it delivered in time, I have some ideas. Our Official Guide To Australian Shepherd Training & Care is an ebook that you download. Immediately after ordering (no shipping, no waiting) you will be sent a download link in an email. For gift giving you can just give a card with a note telling the giftee to check their email. (Of course, you've just forwarded them the email with the link for them to get their ebook!) More info about the ebook and ordering here. What about a comprehensive online video-based dog traing program? Created by a professional dog trainer from New Zealand, "Doggy Dan," this highly recommended program covers everything from the foundations to advanced concepts of dog training as well as how to deal with specific behavior issues. Again there is nothing to ship or wait for. You sign up... and get the access information to the membership site. Just give that info to the gift recipient and they can log in right away and start learning. If you want to give them one month access just cancel after that, two months; same thing. Or you can get the best value and give them 6 months access—it just depends on how naughty or nice they have been this year. ;-) Get more info on The Online Dog Training program here. What if you want to give something that really does have to be shipped and delivered? Just print out a picture of your gift and give it to them in an envelope as a placeholder until the real thing arrives, or keep it a secret and just let them know in a note in a Christmas card that "something" is coming for them and it will be arriving soon. For example, there are many Aussie or general dog related t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies that make great gifts that will be enjoyed all year long. Check out our curated collection of great t-shirt designs here. Any of the above are great for any time of the year, but if you are pressed for time I hope it helps you get your gift shopping done, even if it is just in the nick of time.
