What is the Right Way to Meet Another Dog When Out in Public?

There can be a plethora of ways that you and I may greet an individual while we are out in public.  If they are one of our friends, we may get excited and yell their name while we wave.  We may be a little devilish and sneak up on them in order to surprise them.  If they are someone we don’t know, we may approach slowly and calmly introduce ourselves. 

If they are someone we don’t really know, but recognize that they are someone we don’t like, we may yell bad words at them.  If we are newspaper reporters or “internet influencers”, we may simply follow them around to “get the scoop” or take pictures or videos that we will post on our site.

To put it quite simply, there is a never-ending list of “meet and greet” scenarios that we naturally employ on a daily basis.  Stranger or friend, foe or ally, they take place and, for the most part, life calmly goes on.

With all this assumed craziness, why don’t these divergent encounters cause more issues?  The reason is simple.  You are a human and I am a human.  We have many of the same life experiences and react to those life experiences in relatively the same way. We understand “yin and yang”.

When we interact with a dog in public, things change. Dogs react to things differently than we do.  A simple “meet and greet” we initiate with a dog could turn into a “jump and bite”. We need to understand why and what we can do to prevent it.

Robin and I have a great dog training article that will help you meet dogs in public in a way that will keep everyone calm. Please read our dog training blog titled “What is the Right Way to Meet Another Dog When Out in Public”.

Collie Breeds Make Excellent Herding And Farm Dogs

Herding breeds are a whole different class of canines. They play a specific role in the farm with the livestock. These herding breeds typically include the collie dogs. The collie breeds are usually trained to work in the farms and help guard the cows and sheep in places farmers want them to stay. They follow special commands that guide them on where they have to herd the big herds of farm animals.

On the other hand, farm canines are also used for protection. Aside from rounding up massive numbers of cows or sheep, their responsibilities also involve guarding the farm animals and the crops safe during the night from sneaky predators. The collies are the canine breeds that are typically seen around farms. One of the more popular breeds of herding canines in the whole world is the border collie.

What Can I Do to Have My Dog Safe this Halloween?

I remember when I was a kid, and it was time for Halloween.  My mom would take me and my brother out to the local Woolworth Store, and they would have set up an entire isle with costumes.  These were costumes of all types, but they almost all had a theme of “scary”.  That was because Halloween was supposed to be a scary time.

We would go out by ourselves after it got dark and walk around the neighborhood. Sometimes other kids would jump out from the shadows and try to scare us.  Sometimes we would jump out of the shadows and try to scare our friends walking by.

Sometimes we could momentarily “scare our friends” and they would scream.  Sometimes our friends would momentarily “scare us” and we would scream.  Whatever the case, we would always end up laughing and then walk up to the next house, press the doorbell, and say “Trick-or-Treat” when the grown up opened the door.

Although it was a “scary time”, we loved it because we “really knew” that everything was going to be fine.  We got to get out of the house and away from our parents and we got free candy from everyone in the neighborhood. 

Sometimes we try to interject our dogs into “the festivities”.  The problem is that our dogs don’t understand that someone jumping at them from the shadows isn’t trying to hurt them. They have no idea what those strange creatures (your friends in their costumes) may do to them. You must let them know that everything is fine.

Robin and I have a great dog training article that can prepare your dog for Halloween. Please take a look at our dog training blog titled “What Can I Do to Have My Dog Safe this Halloween”.

How Should I Choose a Veterinarian for My Dog?

As Robin and I are putting more and more candles on our birthday cakes, it seems that we are “collecting” more and more doctors.  I am not going to comment on Robin’s doctors, so I will just focus on my own.  It appears that I am slowly getting doctors for every part of my body. 

I go to a checkup and my doc will say “I think you should go to this doctor and have them take a look at this.”  I immediately call that doctor and get an appointment.  Then, almost like magic, I will be seeing that doctor every six months.  Just like bunny rabbits multiplying, my list of doctor appointments seems to take up more and more of my time.

I don’t have a problem with all of this.  Being told that all is fine a lot of times is far better than being told “I wish you came in sooner”. 

The interesting thing is that I have all these doctors, and I really did very little vetting of them.  One doctor simply said, “Go to him” and off I went. Why am I so trusting?

I trusted the doctor that may have given the recommendation. I also have the ability to talk to the new doctor and get a personal feeling if they are right for me.  I can “feel if I am getting better” or “staying well” under their care.

Now, what about my dog?  He needs a doctor too.  But, how can he tell me who he wants to go to or how he feels when he goes to the doctor (aka vet)?  This is when we have to step in and make the decision on what is best for our dog. How do we do this?

Robin and I have a great dog training article that will explain what to do. Please read our dog training blog titled “How Should I Choose a Veterinarian for My Dog”.

Is it OK to Always Leave Food and Water Down for My Puppy?

Remember that song that came out about ten years ago that had the lyrics “All about the bass”?  Well, that really has nothing to do at all with my blog about potty training except for a modification to the lyrics I am about to suggest. 

When it comes to potty-training your puppy, the internet or your friends will offer tons of “sure fire” solutions.  Many of these “solutions” can best be described as “partial steps” in the process.  Some of them are just plain absurd.  The core problem with all of these partial or completely absurd answers is that they miss the point of what needs to be accomplished.

The problem that most puppy owners face when trying to potty-train their dog is that they are focusing on the end result.  Where they need to place their efforts on is a clear understanding of the process. They need to understand the variables and constants within that process and to eliminate the variables or transform them into constants.

In order to accomplish this, you need to take charge of all the steps involved in the potty process.  Just for sake of argument, let’s talk about the first and last steps.  Pottying is obviously the last step. What is the first step; why does your puppy potty? The answer, obviously, is eating their dinner.

What comes in between? I now step back to the lyrics and offer my own answer.  “It is all about the bladder”. Proper bladder management includes food and water intake.

Robin and I have a great dog training article that will clearly explain what you need to do and why you are doing it. Please read our dog training blog titled “Is it OK to Always Leave Food and Water Down for My Puppy”.

What Are the Fundamental Principles in Having an Excellent Dog?

Before I begin to talk about how we can have an excellent relationship with our dog, I want to digress and talk about something that may seem to be completely different.  In reality, what I am about to discuss is quite relevant in understanding the concept of a healthy and appropriate relationship between dog owners and their dogs.

Let’s turn the clocks back on our own lives and think about some things for a moment.  First, let’s think about our fifth-grade class.  For me, I grew up attending a grade school with less than one hundred and fifty students in the entire school.  My fifth-grade class consisted of twenty-two students.  Most of us had known each other since kindergarten.

Our class structure was the exact same as other grade school class structures of the day.  All the kids were “the students” and there was an older lady (when you are only eleven years old, everyone is “old”) who was “our teacher”.  Although we were generally rambunctious rapscallions, we still gave our teacher complete focus and respect whenever she demanded it. 

Although it was not always a perfect relationship, we understood and respected the pecking order.  All of us respected our teacher and she was very good at gaining our focus and trust.

This same social dynamic that we experience when in a hierarchical relationship (in my example, fifth grade) is the one that we must establish with our dog.  

Robin and I have a great dog training blog that will explain what you must do to establish the proper pecking order with your dog and establish a great relationship. Please read our dog training article titled “What Are the Fundamental Principles in Having an Excellent Dog”.

What Can I Do to Get My Dog to be Happy in his Crate?

When I was very, very young, my grandfather read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer to me and my brother.  It was a wonderful tale full of adventure and excitement.  One of the stories I remember to this day is the time Aunt Polly made Tom whitewash her picket fence.  It seemed that Tom had played hooky from school, and he needed to be taught a lesson.

Well, as Tom began this laborious chore, he came up with a scheme to turn the day to his advantage. He would convince his friends that whitewashing the fence was special and something they wanted to try. One by one, as his friends walked by, they saw the fence being whitewashed and wanted to join in.

Through a little redirection, young Tom had convinced every one of his friends to do something they probably would not have wanted to otherwise do. 

So, let’s change the subject and talk about your dog and his dog crate.  When your dog is slightly pensive regarding his dog crate, you need to be like Tom Sawyer to convince your dog the crate is really a wonderful place. 

The good news is that most dogs are drawn to crates for security.  They may simply be unfamiliar with the crate or have associated an inappropriate experience with the crate.  In the same way that Tom could convince his friends that whitewashing a fence is more fun than taking a swim in the river, you need to convince your dog that the crate is his safe and happy place.

Robin and I have a great dog training article that lays out some simple steps you can follow to have your dog loving his crate in no time. Please take a moment to read our dog training blog titled “What Can I Do to Get My Dog to be Happy in his Crate”.

How Do I Stop My Dog’s Pulling on the Leash?

I remember when I was a very young child, and my grandparents would take my brother and myself on a walk.  They would pick us up in their Chrysler and drive to a quiet part of the neighborhood. We would then get out of the car and go on our walk.

Being a quiet part of the neighborhood, there were very few cars passing up and down the street.  There wasn’t a lot of “people activity” going on that could cause confusion.  All these things made it easier for our grandparents to maintain control of what was around us.  The “quietness and serenity” also allowed them to more easily control us while we were still having a great time. 

I always loved these walks with my grandparents.  I had a great time being “out and about” while still having the sense that I was on a great adventure.  I also loved being able to “learn about the world around me” from my grandparents.  I am sure that they loved the experience as well.

This is the exact same experience that all of us would love to have when out and about on a walk with our dog.  We want them to be calm, safe, and happy.  We want them to love the adventure while knowing they are completely safe with us.  Some of us may not be having “that great experience” with our dogs right now.

Robin and I have some great tools that will make your walk with your dog great. Please read our dog training blog titled “How Do I Stop My Dog’s Pulling on the Leash”.

What Are Common Mistakes When It Comes to Potty Training?

Everyone reading this (I hope) has been potty trained.  From our standpoint, it wasn’t that big of a deal.  We were little, were given food and water, played, slept, and pottied. When it came to pottying, we just went when we needed.  All those adults around us were scampering for diapers and trying to get to the changing station.

Initially, we had no idea if “that was a good potty” or “that was a bad potty”. For us, every potty was a good potty. Then, over time, we began to understand that we needed to get into a place called the bathroom to potty.  We were taught to “just go into the bathroom before we get in the car to continue our trip”. “Good potty habits” just seemed to evolve. 

On top of that, our parents began to become savvier regarding a lot of little “gotcha’s” to keep our pants dry and smelling like a rose. Even though we don’t remember, they went through a lot of hits and misses to succeed.

Now, let’s turn to our puppy.  We bring a puppy home, put down a potty pad or open the door to let them outside every few hours, and we think that our potty-training job is done. Potty training takes a lot more effort than that.  Although there are many steps to the process, every process has a clear measurement of success and failure. Every process is linked to the next.

We have some great suggestions for you. Please read Robin and my potty-training blog titled “What Are Common Mistakes When It Comes to Potty Training”.

What Are Some Pool Safety Tips for My Puppy?

When I was a kid, I loved playing in the pool.  I was lucky because my parents had a pool in the backyard of the house I grew up in.  I spent many happy hours swimming and playing in the pool with my siblings or neighborhood friends.  Many of my parents’ friends had pools as well and I would often go to their houses to swim and play in their pools with their kids.

None of the pools that I would play in were the same.  Some were bigger than others. Some were shaped differently than others.  Some had slides and some had diving boards.  Some had steps built into the shallow end for me to exit the pool and some had those aluminum ladders that were attached to the side of the pool (normally in the deep end) that I could use to get out of the pool.  Even though all the pools were different, I still knew how to stay safe and have a good time while in the pool.

I didn’t naturally know about pool safety or even how to swim.  When I was young, my parents taught me how to get in and out of the pool.  They did this very slowly and never left me alone while they were teaching me. They then took me to Tacaloma Swim School near our home.

I was “trained to be around the pool”.  Why do we often think that our puppy naturally knows what to do? They don’t.

Is It OK to Have My Dog Off-Leash?

We have all seen it.  We are in public and see people with their dogs without a leash.  The owner is walking down the sidewalk, and their dog is right next to them.  Cars pass by and squirrels play in the tree branches overhead.  During all of this, the dog seems oblivious to everything and remains at their owner’s side.

We pull up to the grocery store and there is a dog quietly sitting near the front entrance.  We go in and he remains in place.  We get our groceries, walk out, and the dog is still there.  As we reach our car, we look back and see that the dog’s owner has emerged from the grocery store.  The dog then walks to his side and stays with him as he rolls his grocery cart to the car.

We look at these situations where owners allow their dogs to be off-leash in public and think how wonderful it must be for the owner and dog to roam freely together while they are out and about.  We then think about allowing our dog off-leash while we are in the front yard, at the park, or on a walk. 

Before we do this, we “practice for a while” in the front yard. We have our dog out with us for a week or so in the front yard and he always stays with us. Eureka! He must be ready to go!  We then think that it is fine to have our dog off-leash whenever we are out and about. Is this a good decision?

What Can I Do to Have My Dog Safe on July 4th?

I remember when I was a kid and one of my absolute favorite holidays was the 4th of July. Since it was in the middle of summer, school had been over for a while.  This meant that our family would go on a week-long vacation. 

We would go to Balboa Bay in San Diego and spent days on the sandy beaches or rented speed boats and drove around the bay.  We would go to the zoo and Sea World. All the days were great, and the pinnacle of the vacation was sitting out on the shore of the bay to watch the fireworks explode overhead.  They were loud and bright. 

Bang! Bang! Boom! Boom! Blinding Flash! Blinding Flash!  These were things that might have scared me any other time, but today it was the 4th of July.  This is the one day where I expect to see all of these unusual things and to hear loud, scary noises. I could understand what was going on and there was no way you would keep me from being right in the middle of all of it.

Now, let’s change our perspective and look down at the ground to find our dog cowering and whimpering. Why is he so afraid?  We are happy and love what is going on. He is experiencing the same things; he should be having fun too!  Why is he so scared?

Remember when I said I might have normally been scared, but I knew it was the 4th of July and understood what to expect?  Our dog didn’t get the memo.  Just like any other day, these things that would normally scare him are still scaring him.  What can I do about it?

Robin and I have a great solution. Please read our dog training blog titled “What Can I Do to Have My Dog Safe on July 4th.” to learn how to keep your dog safe and happy.
