What are the benefits to each scenario, and is one way better than the other? These questions are answered below.

Continue reading » BehaviorNo Comment Has your dog ever sprinted around your house, bouncing from chair to couch and back again with an unrivaled amount of energy? If so, you are not alone in wondering what just happened? This phenomenon is known as frenetic random activity period (FRAP), otherwise known as the zoomies. What are zoomies, why do they occur, and how can they be stopped? All of these questions will be answered here. What are Zoomies? Dogs can develop zoomies at any time, although most dog owners observe them after a bath, when a favorite human has returned home, or after a potty break. The main characteristics of zoomies are wild bursts of energy where the dog seems to have no concept of its size or strength – or of your furniture and valuables. While zoomies are completely normal, they can be dangerous for unsuspecting humans, animals, or china collections that are in your...
Continue reading » BehaviorNo Comment For dog lovers, resisting the urge to interact with a service animal can be extremely difficult. However, distracting a service dog from its job can put the animal’s handler in danger. Listed below are 9 rules of etiquette that people should follow when encountering a service dog in public. Do Not Distract a Service Dog When a service dog is in a public facility wearing a vest or other indication that he or she is a service dog, you should always assume the dog is on duty. Distracting the dog in any manner prevents the dog from providing the handler its undivided attention. As a result, the dog may miss subtle cues that are important for the dog to perform its job. Ultimately, service dogs are medical devices. If you would not tamper with a diabetic person’s glucose monitor, you should never inhibit a person’s service dog. Do Not Touch...

Continue reading » Dog Health, Dog Product Reviews, Dog Products2 Comments As a dog owner, I look back to my childhood in horror and cannot believe what awful dog owners my parents were. I know that sounds harsh, but the level of pet-parenting dogs receive today is vastly different than it was 20 – 30 years ago. Today I am what might be called an over-protective pet parent, but I am probably this way due to years of learning from my parents’ mistakes. Here are my top do’s and don’ts for dog owners, gathered from my own experiences growing up. Don’t Assume All Dog Breeds are the Same Before I was born, my parents had only ever owned purebred cocker spaniels. Until I had a spaniel of my own, I never understood why my parents thought dogs didn’t need training or exercise [note: I do not recommend not training or not exercising a spaniel; rather, some dog breeds just happen to...
