But Why Can’t I just Train It Out?

Most canine behavior problems are a result of fear or anxiety, meaning that the behaviors you actually observe your dog doing are elicited by fear or anxiety. You cannot resolve these problems by using punishment and you cannot ‘train them out’

Allergy Season

Spring has sprung here and it's ALLERGY SEASON! You really SHOULD call your vet and ask before you medicate your dog especially with over-the-counter human medications. That said, do not EVER give your dog a human allergy pill with a "-D" designation, like Claritin-D or Zyrtec-D, etc. The "D" is for a decongestant, pseudoephedrine, which can cause all SORTS of bad side effects and even death. NO -D FOR DOGS!
