"MY DOG wont come when I call him." "My dog barks so much that the neighbors are complaining." "My dog is always jumping on me and on my visitors." In all such cases, frustrated pet owners are asking, "What can I do?"The answer is probably to give your dog basic obedience training - teaching it to respond to simple commands. Of course, it is best to begin while your dog is still a puppy. But even...

Allison with Sensi in BenzieFriends of ours, Alan and Allison, joined us on our trip to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. I call this place Benzie — you can find out why by reading my article, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore: The most beautiful place in America — and for all future references in this space, I’m going to call it that. It’s...
I’m moving. So right now I’m completely displaced like all of the time. One week I’m here, the next week I’m somewhere else, and the next week I’m somewhere else again. Right now (until about next Tuesday), I’m at my parents’ house which is complicated for a couple of reasons. Number one – I’m at their mercy which means it’s pretty hard to do anything...
I didn’t know people really had a big problem with this. I had it once before but I fixed it by not allowing my dogs free access to the front door until I had them successfully trained to not rush outside. Other than that I’ve never had a problem. However, apparently it’s a really big deal.The first thing you need to know about door dashing is that the dog probably needs exercise and that’s why they...

Have you ever looked at our world through a dog’s eyes? An understanding of dog behavior can be amazing. Even documentaries on wolves (also canines) or wild dogs give incredible insight to the canine mind and with this Im not implying that dogs and wolves are the same like some so-called TV behavior specialists may claim.When we ask a dog to come into our world and adapt sometimes we don’t fully understand...

I know these two women. One has one baby and had one dog (Chihuahua) and insisted that she couldn’t take care of the dog because the baby was so time intensive. I’m not going to deny that babies are intensive, but she’s dealing with a Chihuahua which isn’t difficult. I think her problem was that the Chihuahua wasn’t trained well enough which would only be her own fault, of course. She claimed that...
