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. It didn't take him long to respond and learn quickly, what was being asked of him or, when he was behaving badly. ...Read More
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. Usually, a cat seems happy and content when they knead something, as they often purr when they do it. But why do they do it? There are a couple factors, including:
Emotional Security

There is the pitty pat of little feet, and all of a sudden a plate is missing some food or something ends up on the floor or in the sink with a crash. It couldn't be have been my sweet little cat! He isn't allowed up on the kitchen counter!

There are all sorts of dogs to fit all kinds of purposes -- Most of us may want a pet just to be a great companion, friend, and life-long buddy. Some of us also want a pet that will be a family protector, a dog that makes you feel more secure for long walks in the city or park, or a dog that you know will scare the bee-geebers off on any p...Read More

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
I have a 4-month old kitten my son named Leroy. He's a very affectionate kitty and does love to wind his body in and around your legs, or rub up against you wherever you are. He's a gray/black/white tabby and was a birthday present for my son in December. We adopted him from the local ASPCA and he immediately fit right into the...Read More

Recently humankind has gradually become aware of the intelligence of other animals on the planet. Some ca...Read More
For many years, I’ve had a pair of cats. I had either adopted them as pairs, or they had grown up together and were familiar with each other. They kept each other company and enjoyed playing together, even when I wasn’t around. It was always fun to sneak up on them to find them cuddled together on the bed on a cold winter’s day...Read More
I have a personal relationship with this college, and they are great.

It's cute at first when you walk in the door and get smothered with puppy or kitty kisses. But when does it become too much and how can you make it stop?
Why Your Dog Licks You
In the dog world, licking is a normal part of pack life. In the wild the alpha dog allows the lower ranked dogs to lick him but only tolerates this beha...Read More

It's great that your pet loves you, but when it becomes an unhealthy obsession, it becomes a problem. Your pet should love you but be able to handle time alone without panicking and destroying your house. Separation anxiety is a common problem, especially for puppies and older dogs, but it can be fixed.
What Is Separation Anxiet...Read More
I know it sounds a little crazy. Do you really need a shrink for your pet? For the average pet, maybe not. But for pets with behavior problems and depression, it could save their lives. Think of all the pets that end up homeless and in shelters because their families couldn't cope with their behavior issues. Conside...Read More
Many pet lovers know that owning a dog or cat calms nerves, lowers blood pressure and helps you live longer. For owners, pets give us a reason to get up in the morning when you may be tempted not to; they reduce stress-induced symptoms and are said to add years to our lives. Therapy dogs and cats (yes, cats) are often used for ther...Read More
When I was growing up, we had a dog who would ‘roll over’ and do all sorts of cool tricks on command. I had so much fun trying to teach her new things. Of course, my parents had learned many tricks in teaching our dogs tricks, so they would show me how to get them to do fun or useful things.
After I went off to college, I learne...Read More
If you have ever been surprised by a sudden display of aggression, the following can help you safely diffuse the situation and prevent it from happening in the future. Once you do so, immediately call a qualified training and behavioral professional to help you determine the cause and also give you techniques to teach the dog new way...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.
My wife and I initially assumed as much when our dog, Dexy, was a young boxer. She quickly learned her ...Read More
All you really want to do is love your pet and reward him for being such a good dog! But in reality, dogs aren't good all the time. They get bored and chew on your shoes or lick you while you're trying to eat your dinner. It's hard to discipline them because you want to love them all the time. But part of loving them is e...Read More

Gone are the days when my dog, Lizzie, was small enough to fit in the sink for a bath. So, my husband and I are left with a couple of options - bring her to a groomer or bath her ourselves. Due to our current economic state, spending money on a groomer is out of the question.
Fortunately we have a tub in our apartment. The last ...Read More
If you need a little assistance training your dog, you may want to consider enrolling him in an obedience class.

Many dog lovers' initial response when seeing a dog walking towards them is to say hello while bending over and petting their new friend. This innate human behavior can send many dogs running for cover or even put them on the defense. Children tend to move more quickly, make higher pitched noises and touch dogs more obtrusively than grown-up hum...Read More
Obedience school isn’t just for your pet. Your pet has to learn the basic behaviors and you need to learn how to command these behaviors. It might be hard work at first, but the bond between you and your pet will be much stronger if you can eliminate the bad behaviors and establish yourself as the pack lea...Read More
I always knew my Alpha was an odd one. and a hyper one. When six months past by, I was hesitant to neuter him because well, I wouldn't want to be neutered if I was a puppy. But he was getting more and more hyper and aggressive. Being a little too playful and scaring my friends. I went to see the vet and she told me that it would keep the dog pop...Read More
Many homes have doggy doors that make it easier for pets and owners to let their dog out to relieve themself. Doggy doors are convenient for pet owners who are away at work for hours at a time or for those that are not able to jump up and let their pet out when they need to go.
Doggy doors have their built in problems, ...Read More
My dog Boss is spoiled. I think he is the cutest and sweetest thing ever and he knows it! All he has to do is look at me with those big sad eyes and I’ll give in to whatever he wants.
When we would go on walks, he got so excited that he would choke himself because he was pulling so ...Read More
It is safe to say that I am in a pet friendly area. The local businesses catering to homemade dog-treats and holistic health, not to mention the sheer number of groomers within a 3 mile radius, or even the makeup store that has a doggy bowl filled with water for the pups that go shopping with their moms, can attest to that fact. Which brings me ...Read More
I know this is long, but bear with me, I have good tips at the end! :)
My husband and I had been looking for a dog. It had to be less than 35lbs, because the apartments we were living in at the time had a weight limit, it had to get along with our indoor only tabby cat, and I wanted to be able to show at AKC events, especially obedience and m...Read More
Animals communicate with each other and with humans by sending pictures, body movements and reading energy. The old saying “An animal can sense fear a mile away.” is true. Well maybe not a mile away but a dog sure can tell if the dog entering the Dog Park is going to be one he will not like - or not. It is their instinct for survival ...Read More
The way I see it, you either have an outdoor cat, or you don't. If you live in a quiet area with a decent sized yard, maybe you will feel comfortable letting him or her explore the great outdoors. Cats have a great sense of direction, and will keep the yard as their home base.
Cats are, of course, also very curious, and will n...Read More
When Training is Not Enough......Animal Communication Can Help
There are many excellent animal trainers and handlers and always excellent animals. When this mix works, it works well. Sometimes the mix does not work as well. The animal does not seem to perform as trained. The people become frustrated. Everyone wants to throw their hands up i...Read More

The summertime can be a carefree time of year. You might lounge around more and eat more ice cream too. It’s easy to get back into bad habits, and it’s quite possible your pet learned some bad behavior too. If you have been feeding your pet table scraps and letting him/her beg and jump on people in the name of summer, it’s time...Read More

Most cats of the indoor/outdoor variety don't stray too far from home, and most have a great sense of direction. My cat Charlie, in his younger days before he became an indoor-only guy, would sometimes sneak down the (short) road to the boatyard at the end of our street in rural Rhode Island to check out the action there, or would also lov...Read More
Ok, so the title was a little bit 'L' heavy. My apologies.
I was walking my way to work this afternoon, when I saw a woman pushing her bike down the side. Then I noticed her extremely small dog following very closely behind her...sans leash.
Oddly, this isn't a 'new' trend either. I see this at least a couple of times a week.
Personally, I wo...Read More
I am a faithful listener of the Howard Stern Show on Sirius Satellite Radio. On today's show, Howard's wife Beth came on to talk about a new dog book she is writing called OH MY DOG. From what I understand, the book is mostly about dog training techniques and she is doing a great deal of research on the subject.
Beth Ostrosky Stern is a...Read More
How many times have you been to the dog park and there is a "bully" that is terrorizing all the dogs. I have a dog who is aggressive around other dogs so I know better than to bring him to the dog park. It would be nice if everyone followed dog park etiquette. I found some guidelines that you should follow when visiting a dog park.

Today my corgi Einstein had “mock graduation” from the Intermediate dog training class at Petsmart. Mock graduation means that whatever behaviors the dogs didn’t perform today, we get to practice, come back next week and try it again.
Here are the behaviors we have to pass to get the certificate of completion for Inter...Read More
OK, I need to know. Does anyone else’s dog do this? My dog does this often, and I can’t figure out how he does it. A usual scenario goes a lil’ something like this:

My 6-month old Corgi puppy is about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. And he gets a little more run of the house than my trainer recommends. He pops in and out of the doggy door whenever he pleases, so I don’t always see what he’s doing in the backyard. Most of the time when I check on him, he’s innocentl...Read More
Honey is a socialized dog, but sometimes it doesn’t seem like it. I have made it a point to introduce her to other dogs and other people as much as possible. Ever since we moved to Chicago she started a strange behavior.
Since we moved into an apartment from a house with a yard, going outside actually means going for a walk. On th...Read More
I know I shouldn’t, but when my family’s Cavalier King Charles, Mickey, stares into my eyes while lurking under the dinner table, I just have to slip him a little scrap of people food. I know, it’s hypocritical—I complain about how ill mannered he is, always begging for food when we’ve been telling him for nin...Read More

Halter-type collars fit around the dog’s front legs, neck and shoulder, so this can give you and your pet the b...Read More
As I sit writing this, my dog Sebastian is wrapped around my side, fearful of the stormy weather outside. Every pet responds differently to bad weather. For instance, my cats are fascinated by it and enjoy watching the rain pour off the roof and the lightening brighten up the sky. If your pet has anxiety during bad weather, there are some things...Read More
