I've been seeing some disturbing videos floating around of people ignoring their dog's clear warning signals. These signals are often dismissed with a line such as "oh, but my dog would never bite." The reality is that all dogs can and will bite under the perfect storm of environment and circumstance.

Great blog on why "correcting" or punishing unwanted behavior isn't the key to having a happy, well-mannered dog. Being proactive rather than reactive will go a long way to improving the trust between you and your dog and ultimately changing their behavior for the better. (via Good Dogs & Co.)

Surprising a friend or family member with a puppy this season may seem like a good idea, but it's one of the biggest reasons why dogs and puppies end up in shelters every year after the holidays. One animal control officer told me recently that they see about 80% of their holiday adoptions returned to the shelter shortly after. These are some fun alternatives to consider instead!

For so long, there has been a stigma attached to getting a dog over the holidays. There's a new campaign to instead accept the fact that people want to bring a dog into their lives, and the holiday season might be a good time for them to do so, and to focus instead on educating people on finding their perfect dog in rescue. What's your take on this concept? (via Susie-Belle Schnauzer)

Idiots!

(PLEASE NOTE - This case was resolved two years ago). To those who might think these situations are funny... Dogs speak loud and clear but when nobody listens and accidents happen, dogs are blamed. WE DID NOT MAKE this video, someone else did, WE SIMPLY EDITED IT and added the dog language appeasement and avoidance signals in order to educate parents and prevent accidents from happening in the first place. We do not support this type of human-animal contact. We are responsible pet ownership advocates.
