First, about the biting... What sort of environment did he come from? What kind of things were you two doing when he got snippy? It's very easy--especially with a breed as small as a Peke--to scare a dog unintentionally, and it ends up with bad results. Does he have a place that he can go that is &q...

Sorry for my long absence! This is all great feedback. Keep in mind that this project is in the absolute earliest stage, so it will sound very unbalanced right now. Yes, I was referring to dominance-based training methods that go out of hand. I don't think dominance has to be a dirty word; I take it...

Idea for Responsible Pet Ownership Promotion
There have been quite a few events in my area--as well as the dog world in general--that have prompted me to become a stronger advocate for better pet care. One way I plan to do this is by writing and printing pamphlets for my shelter and handing them out to potential adopters. So far, the topic lis...

This is why I've decided that dog training is not for me, unfortunately. No one around here wants to listen to me; I offer great advice on how to build a trusting relationship with their dogs, and in response they yank the leash. I just said this on the G2G boards: humans can be so negative sometime...

This is a very heartbreaking situation. You did a lot for this dog though. Consider that most people wouldn't even think twice about stopping to help. Also imagine how scared this guy must've been. Yes, at one point, he was coming to you, but then ran; perhaps something spooked him. Even the coolest...

Just wondering if anyone's else's dog does this...
On Tuesday and Thursday mornings, I put Xavier in his crate and let him out during my break between work shifts. He gets his Kong toy, which is filled with something tasty. Today I put peanut butter inside. Well when I let him out when I got home, he came out and fell asleep; licking peanut butter i...

To add to this: It's excellent that you're seeking out this info before you get the puppy. The world needs more dog owners like that ^-^ It's never too early to introduce your puppy to new things. In fact, the sooner the better, that way he will be used to things that will otherwise seem odd and eve...

It's interesting that you mentioned this. Earlier today, I was browsing the Groomer to Groomer forums and someone posted this: http://www.bestfriends.org/video/bev_hill_ch/vidPlayer.html I didn't realize that this movie was bringing so much attention to the needs of dogs. Simply fantastic! A victory...
