My Dog is Getting Older–Should I Get a Second Dog Now?

10/19/2017

​   If you’re anything like me, a house isn’t a home unless it has a dog in it. As your dog gets on in years, you might consider bringing a second dog into your family.
   Two dogs can be twice the joy. Before taking the plunge, however, carefully consider several factors.

Love training? Hate training? Treat & Train has everyone covered.

Treat & Train, developed by Dr. Sophia Yin and owned by PetSafe, is a multi-purpose training tool that is most frequently used to help with problem behaviors such as barking and jumping when people enter your home. It can also provide a ton of rainy-day indoor fun for your dog by making him work for his food, burning both physical and mental energy in a small space. (See the video below.) The device includes a food-dispensing container with several options for dispensing treats, a remote control so you can activate the machine from far away, and a target stick. Sound strange? It’s actually brilliant. Here are some ways you can incorporate it into your routine. (Click "Read more" below.)

On-Leash Dog Greetings: Yea or Nay?

10/6/2017

1 Comment

 
If you’re a dog owner, you’ve probably been there countless times. You’re taking Sadie for a walk down the sidewalk and an oncoming dog, also on leash, is approaching you. What should you do? Should you let Sadie greet the other dog when it reaches you, or is it better to just keep walking?
I recommend you avoid greeting the other dog if:
  • you don’t know the dog,
  • the other dog, even if you know him, is visibly excited or anxious,
  • Sadie has ever shown anxiety or reactivity (aggression) when greeting other dogs, or
  • Sadie does not have well-developed leash manners yet, meaning she pulls, lunges, or puts on the breaks at the sight of a dog.
Yes, that’s a lot of ifs. And I’d bet most of us can check off at least one of those boxes.
