Preventing Aggression Over Possessions and Food in Your Puppy

Articles
Posted by Joan Orr and Teresa Lewin on September 2nd, 2010
Preventing Aggression Over Possessions and Food in Your Puppy Many bites to children occur around the food bowl. We are frequently told that the dog growls (but he would never bite of course) when the kids go near him while he’s eating. This situation is easily prevented if the puppy is taught that people approaching the food bowl means good things for the puppy.

The Importance of Distraction vs. Correction

Articles
Posted by Caryn Charlie Liles on July 8th, 2010
The Importance of Distraction vs. Correction We are all taught in elementary math that a Negative plus a Negative will never equal a Positive. Keep this in mind when working with dogs. If you correct, scold, punish every time a dog displays a negative behaviour, they only learn that this is what you don't want. They aren't being taught what you *do* want.

Play Date Checklist

Articles
Posted by Joan Orr and Teresa Lewin on June 29th, 2010
Play Date Checklist When a child wants to go to at a friend's house, a responsible parent asks some basic questions. For example: will a parent be home? Does the family have a pool? Is the yard fenced? Rarely does it occur to a parent to ask if the family has a dog and if so, what steps will be taken to ensure that there are no incidents.

Articles
Posted by Lorraine Houston on June 25th, 2010
Barking For A Home - July 2010 - Tippy She is a lovely girl – affectionate, gentle and sweet. She is wonderful with people and meets and greets all humans with a tail wag. She acts much younger than her 7 years and will do best in a home with an active couple who enjoy several long walks each day and maybe even some play time in the yard. She has no health issues, is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and is ready to be loved by that special family!

The Importance of Spaying and Neutering your Dog

Articles
Posted by Caryn Charlie Liles on April 20th, 2010
The Importance of Spaying and Neutering your Dog “I couldn't do that to him” and “But he's not aggressive!” and “It doesn't bother me” I hear these three responses all the time when I ask people why they haven't spayed or neutered their dog, and to be honest, there's nothing that gets me more riled up. I am a firm believer in research. Do research before you get a dog; research the breed, the health/temperament, the costs...

How Long is Your Leash?

Articles
Posted by Caryn Charlie Liles on April 7th, 2010
How Long is Your Leash? If I had it my way, there would be no ban on Pit Bulls - there would be a ban on retractable leashes on city streets and in dog parks. You may be shocked and appalled at such a bold statement, but allow me to explain. Retractable leashes are wonderful in the hands of experienced dog-owners whose dogs are well trained, non-aggressive and under control. They are a great tool when hiking in the country or on trails...
