Dog Quote Of The Week
"Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like never washed a dog."  - Franklin P. Jones

Why Dogs Bark
Barking is a natural means of communication for dogs, however this behavior often creates conflict in human households. Let’s face it, most people find barking annoying. A dog that barks excessively gets on our nerves and makes us irritable. As a result, many of us punish our dogs for barking which can ultimately lead to more problems. But, if we can learn to understand why our dogs bark and what that barking means, we can minimize the negative effects of this behavior.

When addressing issues of problematic barking, the goal should not be to eliminate barking altogether – which is impossible. Rather, we should work to understand the type of barking our dogs are engaging in and then find ways in which to lower the intensity and level of barking. 
 
There are many different kinds of barking. Some dogs bark when they get excited, some bark when they become frightened or startled and some dogs bark out of frustration. The first step in creating a training plan is to identify your dog’s specific triggers. Keep a journal and note any activity that precedes an episode of excessive barking. After several days you should be able to spot trends. Then you can implement changes in your household that will ultimately have a positive effect on your dog.

Introducing A Puppy To An Older Dog

Question
We just got a new female puppy Shih Tzu. She’s about 7 weeks old. We also have male Shih Tzu who is 2 years old. Our older dog seems to be afraid of the puppy and wants no part of her. We have been showing him lots attention but he still doesn’t seem himself. What should we do? – Danielle via email
 
Answer
Introducing your new puppy to your adult dog can be a trying experience, indeed. Puppies are a handful for owners and adult dogs in the household. Because most puppies are insatiably curious and haven’t refined their “manners”, they usually wind up bothering adult dogs to no end. Most adult dogs will growl or snarl at a recklessly playful puppy in order to the set boundaries of acceptable behavior. This is normal and is actually a positive thing. That being said, never allow a puppy and an adult dog to be left alone together. Give your adult dog plenty of time away from the puppy along with quality time alone with you and your family whenever time permits.
 
Of course, choosing the correct Puppy Supplies is key. Utilize a Dog Crate or ex pen when you cannot actively supervise your puppy. This will help housebreak your puppy as well as keeping her out of danger when you cannot give her your full attention (you’ll also keep the puppy out of your adult dog’s hair!) Never allow your puppy and your adult dog to eat out of the same Dog Bowl, as this may lead to resource guarding. Feeding each dog in a separate crate is a great way to keep food fights to a minimum. This is also true if you give your dogs raw bones or chews.
