					<description><![CDATA[Nippy, yappy, disobedient, divas and drama queens – just some of the adjectives people use when referring to small dogs. But are these traits genetically related to their diminutive size or is it a bad rap with nurture more to blame? I recently ran a poll in my stories, asking people if they identified as big-dog [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sit is one of the very first things most people teach their new puppy or dog and it definitely has its uses but it’s more often misused when there might be more productive and compassionate approaches. BEFORE CROSSING THE STREET: The ground can be cold, wet, icy or dirty. Here in Canada it’s often covered [&#8230;]]]></description>

The biggest reason is simply that it was a rewarding experience from the start. Face/muzzle licking between dogs is normal and most often seen in puppies [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you have decided that giving a dog in need a second chance is the right decision for you and/or your family, congratulations! In the almost 20 years that I’ve worked with clients and their rescues (in addition to my own) I can say with absolute certainty that it is an incredibly rewarding journey. But it’s not [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Adolescence starts between 6-9 months of age and can last until 2-3 years of age. Symptoms include some or all of the following: selective listening, increased activity (barking, digging, sniffing, chewing), changes in sleep habits, leg lifting, humping, possessive behaviour. If this sounds familiar take heart, it&#8217;s all perfectly normal, will eventually pass and there [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Many dog owners are under the impression that they should never play tug games with their dogs. Usually they have been told that it will cause aggression or that their dog will want to start tugging on their clothes and anything else they can get their mouths on once they’ve ‘had a taste’ of the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Enrichment is about providing mental and sensory stimulation to enhance your dog&#8217;s physical and psychological health. At the very least, an enriched environment aims to prevent boredom and stress but in the case of our dogs, it&#8217;s also about finding and sharing in what gives your dog joy. Why does it matter? Considering that the symptoms [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You don&#8217;t have to be a behaviour geek like me to have heard of a recent study that proclaimed dogs preferred praise over treats. If you haven&#8217;t, the following article from The Bark magazine by noted Applied Animal Behaviourist Karen B. London explains it best: https://thebark.com/content/study-dogs-preferences-praise-versus-treats. So is it true? The answer is: It depends. Let&#8217;s start by clearly [&#8230;]]]></description>

Yet your young dog has to be physically forced into the car and once inside is a drooling, barfing picture of misery. Car sickness can be a common problem for [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Having a dog with separation anxiety is heartbreaking and stressful. Unfortunately it&#8217;s also not uncommon. Some dogs experience true separation anxiety where they are so closely bonded to their human that they can&#8217;t cope when that person leaves, even if there are other people around. More prevalent is isolation distress in which a dog can tolerate their main human&#8217;s absence [&#8230;]]]></description>
