Dominance: Dog training's dirty word
My 4 month old black lab has alot of energy. Sometimes, after a walk, during a walk or when just playing in the backyard he will stop, look at me then basically "atttack" me...

Entertainment tips for dogs
That was a nice lecture on who dogs are... but you never once answered the man's question. He obviously already has a dog, so telling him not to get one is late advise, and he obviously cares about his dog because he is taking the time to ask you the question. The proper thing to do would have been to briefly step down from your pedestal and simply respond to his question...

Raising a puppy: Housetraining
We just got a 3 year old Peekapoo and we can't get him to stop peeing in the house? I'm afraid it may already be a habit from his previous owner? What is the best way to train him now? Thanks

Introducing dog to cat
I've had my older cat for 6 years and the other for about three years. Recently I got a six month old terrier. I've followed some of what is said in the article. The contents would work really well for the 3 year old cat but for the 6 year old it will not at all! She will not go any where near the pootch even if it's through a closed door. I know the pup won't hurt the cats if they would just stay still or even com... (continued)
