            If I were to visit Italy or Greece, I would be lost because I don’t have the skills for adequate verbal communication there.
 
            But if I sent my dog to Italy or Greece, my dog would be able to communicate just fine with every dog that lives there. That’s because dogs don’t [...]]]></description>

        A common complaint that I hear from dog owners is, “My dog consistently breaks a ‘stay.’”
 
            The stay is a very valuable command to have in your repertoire, and it’s worth teaching your dog how to do it right. We want the animal to understand that “stay” means no movement; none whatsoever. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Dianna Young
 It often surprises people who bring their dogs to us for training, but we spend at least as much time training people as we do training dogs.
            Why? Because people don’t instinctively know how to think like dogs. And if we are to succeed with dogs, we have to meet them on their [...]]]></description>

In my last two columns, I talked about the canine learning process. Dogs are not capable of deductive reasoning, and thus not very capable of figuring things out for themselves. Rather, they learn by experience and by repetition. In those columns, I talked about some of the things that can go wrong [...]]]></description>

In our last column, we talked about Max, a pleasant, mixed-breed dog whose owner had taught him lessons she hadn’t intended. By failing to require immediate compliance with commands the first time she gave them, she had taught Max the entirely obvious lesson that he didn’t have to comply until she had repeated [...]]]></description>

You probably already are aware that whatever your dog learns from you he learns through repetition. What you may not be aware of, however, is that he may learn a lot of things from you that you had not  intended to teach.
Take, for example, Max. He&#8217;s a pleasant, intelligent, medium-sized dog with a [...]]]></description>

In many respects, living with a dog is the same no matter whether the animal is a 150-pound Rottweiler or a four-pound Mexican Chihuahua. A dog is a dog. Dogs think like dogs, behave like dogs, learn the way dogs learn. They all need the same kind of structure in order to live [...]]]></description>

Your doorbell rings, you open the door, and before you can stop your dog she charges aggressively past you onto the porch and is all over your poor visitor like a falcon on a duck.
A tragedy in the making?
Not really. Your dog’s squeaky “Yip, Yip, Yip!” doesn’t exactly instill fear. Your dog is [...]]]></description>

Like a lot of people, you probably thought long and hard before taking the plunge and actually opening up your home to a new canine companion. You wanted to weigh the positives of such a relationship against the possible negatives.
Ultimately, you decided to go for it because running through your mind was the [...]]]></description>
