Barking at Lights!!
Winnie is driving me nuts and I don't know how to stop it. Every day about this time, our neighbor's sun catcher picks up the afternoon light and creates prisims all over the kitchen ceiling, even when the blinds are closed. She goes crazy and barks at them and chases back and forth across the...

Bark! Bark! Bark!....Help!!!
I've mentioned many times about what a vocal dog Shane is and I've had some success in working on it. For example, he used to bark the second I walked in the door from work but thanks to Jackie's advice about treating him to be quiet as soon as I entered, he's much better. Still, we have...

How do I get my dog to poop faster?
Hello. This is my first post here. I wasn't sure if this post belonged in the training forum, but since it seems more like a behavioral issue, I thought I should post it here. I have an 8-month old Cavachon (half King Charles Cavalier/half Bichon Frise) who's housebroken, but when I take him...

Happy Tail
We have a new dog at the shelter who gets so excited when people stop by his kennel that his tail whips side to side so hard that he bloodies his hind area. Even after a long walk his enthusiasm doesn't dim. One thing I thought of is teaching him sit and only rewarding him with a walk when he does...

Building confidence
My little pup is a little bit neurotic. He is a "velcro dog" to the extreme. He's incredibly eager to please, but most of the time he doesn't seem to understand when he's doing something good - most of the time he doesn't seem to respond much to verbal praise, treats, toys,...

How do I train for this issue? Willy at bath time
I'm drawing a blank, so thought I'd ask. Being a bichon, Willy had to get a bath about every 2 weeks. The last 2 times, he has decided he is NOT having a bath, and he hides under the coffee table. Won't come out. Not for treats, not for "come" which is otherwise over 95%, not to...
