  • a dog waits for the command to eat

    from My Dog - Life with Penny

    on Monday May 21st, 2012 at 07:00 PM

    Penny has always waited for a release command before starting her food, and she will also allow us to take the bowl away during her meal - probably because that only happens when we are adding to her meal, because we've forgotten something that was supposed to be in the bowl. But she sure gives us those 'puppy eyes' to tell us to get on with the job if we make her wait too long. I can't usually get such candid shots of her, because she doesn't like the big 'eye' of the camera pointing at her,...

    You know, Parental Unit was a bit "iffy" on microchips because she was worried that they might cause skin irritation or worse, based on some of the articles she'd read. But she had no choice in the matter when she got me-I came from the local shelter and the good folks there neutered and micro chipped me before they let me go to my new home (whew-glad that's over!). But the more she's read

    Dear Alecia,

    I was standing near a pantry door and my husband entered the area. For no reason, Lucky bit my husbands foot. It was a good thing my husband had sneakers on.

    My dog has attacked my husband on other occasions, and its usually at night. I have to go to bed before my husband as Lucky wont attack him then. Lucky usually gives a warning growl.

    I admit I have spoiled him and he looks to me for everything. What should we do when Lucky tries to bite my husband?

    Ive told my husband to say...

    Square_140_shutterstock_69089893 Dogs have different ways of playing and interacting with each other. Stereotypically, you could say that sporting breeds and retrievers have fun-loving, physical rowdy play styles or that the Terrier breed(s) vary in so many ways that youneed toevaluate each breed for suitability in playing with other dogs. Though it can be easy to generalize a dog's play style by breed, what is mostimportant is the dog's ability toadjust their play style to meet the needs of another dog. This canbekey in...

    from Harrington's Top Dog Training Academy

    on Thursday May 17th, 2012 at 03:20 PM

    There was a time when I used to think that if a dog was wagging their tail it meant that they were happy, but over the years I discovered,( the hard way) that this is not always true. Some dogs will bite even though they are wagging their tails when they take a chunk out [...]
