If your dogs are anything like mine used to be, they want whatever you are eating instead of their own food or treats. Being the owner of three dogs this was becoming a problem, how do you get an eighty-pound dog to stop begging!
Once again, I turned to my manuals, watched a few episodes of the Dog Whisperer and then developed my own plan....Read More

Early in my dog-walking career, I made the mistake of answering my cell phone while walking a dog. My charge, a Golden Lab named Bella stopped in her tracks, looked back at me and proceeded to turn into a completely different animal, pulling on her lead, refusing to cross the street. Bella did not like the phone and she especially didn’t...Read More
I have three aggressive breed dogs, two American Staff Terriers (one crossed with a Mastiff) and one Chow/Pitt/Sheppard. There is a debate as to whether an American Staff would qualify as an aggressive breed, they are Pitt Bulls, and as we all know Pitt’s can be aggressive.
The reality of living with aggressive breed dogs is this: i...Read More
A lot of us have paid good money to participate in one type of dog training or another. Maybe it was private lessons, maybe it was group lessons in the park, it could be that you sent your dog away to doggie boot camp, and then joined him two weeks later to learn his newly understood commands. Whatever the case of your dog training, the most fru...Read More

Does your dog turn its head when you do? And does your cat sleep next to you on their left side when your sleeping on your left side? Your not alone. Many pets pick up the things you do and imitate them- even to the point of being hilariously funny.
One of the tricks I taught one of my cats was to wink when I did. I started noticing he would...Read More
My interest to find holistic, or at least non prescriptive, solutions for anxiety treatment in city dogs stems from my general belief in limiting drugs in my own system whenever possible. Of course with an abstract ailment like anxiety caused from chemical imbalance, the challenge to find a holistic approach can be difficult, in dogs and in huma...Read More
I adopted my little black cat, Isis in 2005 from the local pet rescue. My roommate at the time also adopted the other kitten she had been fostered with.

If your family is like ours, you are constantly on the go. Driving kids to school, sports, activities, not to mention time spent at work, it often feels like we’re never home except to eat and sleep.

Having grown up with Dachshunds, I am quite familiar with small dogs and the ups and downs of owning one. But soon after my sister bought her house and a big saint Bernard, I was a little unprepared and overwhelmed by his eagerness to play with me, jump on me, and lick me. All I could say was Wow! Being around a Saint Bernard was so much d...Read More
Maisy, my small terrier mix, gets so scared of loud noises and fireworks, she shakes uncontrollably like she is having a combination seizure/nervous breakdown.

Dogs and cats are prone to the same types of emotions we are. Most people can tell when their pets are really happy or sad. When we come home from work, our pets are usually really glad to see us. Yes, it’s true that they want to be fed, but once they are, many want their “dose” of attention and affect...Read More
Nobody rational ever said training a dog was easy, but then, nobody rational ever said that anything truly worth doing was easy. While the process of obedience training may try your patience, there are several relatively simple guidelines you can follow to make the process more expedient, and friendlier for you and the animal alike.

When it comes to dog training there are two differing sides of opinion when it comes to dogs and their digging habits. Firstly, many dog trainers think that a dog is a dog, and we should permit him to express his true canine nature by allowing him free reign over the yard and flowerbeds.

What's the Danger?
Cats like to crawl into bags and boxes. Problem is, with the plastic grocery-store bags, your cat is likely to crawl through the small handle opening causing her head to get stuck. As she can't free herself and becomes frightened, she will likely try to run.
A Better Bag
Ask for paper at the grocery store, or better yet, us...Read More

Hello to all my fellow dog lovers,
I have a toy Rat Terrier named Romeo, who is going on 8 years of age. From the moment I got him home at about 8 weeks old, I began talking to him like he was a actual human baby.

If you have a cat or are familiar with them, you’ll know that they love to knead- your lap, the couch, their bed, your bed, and any other soft surfaces.

In theory, no cat owner should have a finicky cat - as most cats, if they are hungry enough will eat whatever is put in front of them. But as every cat owner knows, cats can be notoriously finicky and if a cat won’t eat, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is sick.
If your cat is finicky, there may be other reas...Read More

Aggression is not always something to be afraid of or to label your neighbor's dog as "bad". What scares me more than a guardian who has come to terms with their dog's uncertainty around other dogs (and taken steps to train a more acceptable behavior) is when I see tension building with one or both dogs as two guardians laugh and smile at the en...Read More
Most people know that a puppy needs extensive training in order to become a well-adjusted, happy dog. However, many of us assume that once our new pet learns the basic commands and a trick or two, we’re done with the teaching process.
