Funny video of baby having a great time on the floor with family’s jack russel.  This is a great example of a dog where it’s obvious that someone has worked on toddler proofing him.  Even though this dog has his favorite toy and the baby is in close proximity to that he does not become aggressive towards the child.

Great picture of a pug from FailDogs.com!  It’s possible to use dog training to teach your dog to wear sunglasses or other articles of clothing.  Most of the time if you attempt to put something like this on your dog they are going to attempt to get it off their face.  Through positive reinforcement though you can get them to leave them on!

Why does a dog seem to have a natural instinct to chase a squirrel?  Here it’s explained in depth why your dog may react to a stimulus such as a squirrel or something similar.  Using some solid puppy training techniques you can subdue the way your dog reacts when he is faced with this situation.  Once you have mastered this you can feel more comfortable walking your dog in situations where you know there are going to be outside stimuli that would typically greatly upset your pooch!

Tasty Dog Treats

Whether your goal is to save money or to give your dog the best possible options, making your own dog greats from scratch is a great idea.  Homemade dog treats can be significantly healthier than store bought treats and they’re most certainly tastier than those nearly petrified biscuits you buy at the store.  Not to mention you’ll save a bunch of money since you use so many treats when training your puppy.  Here’s how to make tasty dog treats from scratch.

Here Dr. Ian Dunbar explains what the term dog friendly training means. Using a little humor he is able to really convey what a dog is probably thinking. Dr. Dunbar has greatly advanced positive reinforcement through his 30 years of training and has been a role model for those getting away from dominance theory principles.

It is my hope that people who are in the research phase of figuring out which types of puppy training techniques will be most effective for their dogs, will take this videos message to heart.

Because if more of us dog owners took Dr. Dunbar’s approach to training our dogs, and in learning how to train our dogs with the approach he’s talking about… we’d all have happier, much better behaved dogs.

Thank You Dr. Ian Dunbar for a wonderful speech!

I don’t know about you guys, but when this whole swine flu “epidemic” started to get national attention, I looked at some of the facts and thought, “this really isn’t a big deal”.

The reason I don’t think it’s a big deal is because our bodies create better natural imunity to diseases when we actually get the disease, instead of just getting the vaccine for the disease.

That’s why a lot of older people aren’t getting sick with the flu right now, because the swine flu swept through our nation several decades ago and while a lot of people got sick, all those people are now more imune then a vaccine could ever make them.

And I think it’s the same with dogs…  which is why I don’t give my dog the “kennel cough” vaccine before he goes to doggy day care when I board him.  Because getting sick is sometimes the best thing for our pets.
