dog behavior,and how to be your pets shrink

Want to better understand or manage some dog behavior issues?

So do I.

If your new to dog ownership or experienced, common behavior problems can be misunderstood and often neglected.

I believe if you don't understand the under-lying issues your chances of fixing it are limited.

Dogs are amazing creatures, and I love them all. But they are still dogs, and have ways of learning which we sometimes don't understand or actually promote without any thought's of our actions.

My mission is to educate you to understand dog behavior. I will not post anything that I haven't used or checked out throughly.

Behavior is your dogs way of telling you something. I'm still trying to figure out why my dog will watch the Dog Whisper with me, yet freaks out when Oprah is on. (some behavior is comical to say the least)

We'll look into behavior and understand some common traits. If you can't understand the signs then you can't fix it...right! It's all about understanding and how to become a better owner so you can have a better dog!
