    • Understanding For Advanced Trainers

      It is weird how much one illustration can teach. I not only had two about three or four that taught me a lot more about being a trainer and the schooling was not for being a dog trainer it was for an animal care specialist. For most it is essential to know your dogs structure. So you can understand what to do when somethings get out of hand. Schooling helped a great deal.

    • The Biter

      My Maltese is a cute lil fella! He's completely adorbs, but whenever I'm about to stand or leave he just starts snapping at me, and when I say stop or pretends to raise my hand he gets even more Hyper.

    • Little hyper dog.

      My Australian terrier is a little crazy, or Luny in the head. This is very fun to my kids, but not to me! Our dog, no matter how tired he is, if he lies down on the carpet, closes his eyes, then someone makes the littlest of noises and he, runs to whoever did it!!! Another problem is that when ever we take him for a walk, if he sees an animal, he will go wild!!!! Or even another dog!

    • pit bull after birth issue

      My dog had pups 4 days ago and tonight I noticed she had long strings of blood and after birth hanging out of her. Is this normal? Should I still let the pups nurse or can it harm them?
