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.

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...
