They can be very sensitive to feelings of anxiety and anger," said Marshall. Puppies, she added, should be exposed to other dogs, people, noises and different environments. Socializing with other pets can help some dogs, she added, especially those who are mourning the loss of another canine companion. Enrichment, says Marshall, helps stimulate the brain and includes puzzles and games. So how can we return the favor and help them feel better? She also recommends reinforcing positive behavior, rewarding good behavior with treats, food, or supplements.

She worked with some of the most difficult behavior cases at the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA for five years, becoming a leader in animal welfare advocacy for positive/Force Free training and non-aversive collars. The more I study them, the more I am in awe of the unique gems we have in the heartbeats at our feet. In understanding and meeting dogs’ needs, dog behavior often becomes more compatible with our own desires because we “let go” and “let dogs be dogs,” focusing on relationship, play, and achieving a high quality of life together. In 2021, the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior unequivocally stated that collars designed to cause pain and dominance methods should never—without exception—be used to train dogs. Understanding that dogs of all ages have the brain anatomy and function similar to that of a two- to three-year-old child often helps professionals and pet parents treat their dogs with greater understanding and empathy. LM: The book is a wellness, practical training, and behavior modification guide that adheres to the “First, do no harm” ethical code. In the dog training industry, the apparent normalization of causing psychological and physical pain is disturbing. The first 100 pages focus on the topics detailed in the updated Hierarchy of Dog Needs, replete with 18 pages of scientific citations to support it. It explores the importance of careful and proper socialization, as well as providing bountiful species-appropriate enrichment. The book also analyzes nutrition—unraveling the mysteries of a biologically appropriate diet that fosters optimal health and thriving. In her new book The Do No Harm Dog Training and Behavior Handbook: Featuring the Hierarchy of Dog Needs, Linda combines science with compassion and I'm sure every dog would appreciate it greatly if their human(s) would study it carefully.2 LM: My book is written for dogs and the people who love them.

Bringing dogs to work is an emerging trend in the legal industry designed to boost morale and as a fun thing to do.

Paws & Pints, a dog retreat that combines a dog park and canine services with a human bar, is set to open in Des Moines in August.

The bar plans to serve cocktails and 20 craft beers on tap, with a small menu for humans and dogs on the way. Paws & Pints is one of the first businesses in the Des Moines area to combine multiple dog-related services with a human bar and social venue under one roof. "From our mentors and from just being dog owners for as long as we have, we knew exactly what experience we wanted to give our fellow dog owners," Kyle said. The couple's beloved Bernese mountain dog Porter did not live to see Paws & Pints' opening, but the Caseys have made new additions to their family. The Caseys believe that Paws & Pints fills a need for dog owners who otherwise crisscross the metro for various services for their pets. "The feedback's been good," Kyle said. It's not easy pulling all this off at one time." "We've had founding members asking for months when they could start getting appointments booked." "Capital raising is not easy, especially doing it through a worldwide pandemic." And similarly, spending on pets trended upward during the pandemic as more households adopted pets that did not own animals previously. After 16 years of it, I had to do something. "I kind of jokingly say that the love for our beloved (dog) Porter changed the trajectory of our lives," Kyle said.

A spelunking group in Perry County, Missouri found and rescued a senior dog Saturday that had been missing for nearly two months.

"We all felt so bad so we made sure to all love on this elderly golden retriever extra because it was so sad. If you can stay for the sedation, even better. "Say what you want, I just think it's a bummer that those were his final moments. We had one recently that hit me hard, I just wish it could have ended differently." Although dogs bring so much to our lives, the prospect of having to say goodbye to them one day is enough to put people off welcoming them into their homes. That was one I definitely understood why the owner couldn't be there.

"Sick as a dog," we say when we're feeling poorly after eating something that's "off." But when dogs eat something weird, they're often unfazed.

And Max ate the "jaunty kerchief" he wore home from the groomer. Angela Sanchez's registered Sheltie Calamity Jane ate "shampoo and soap. Plastic handles from scissors; unidentified rubber and plastic objects; many thin socks. That gave him death breath." A dog from her childhood "ate my mom's dentures. Foil."

Healthier foods exist but they are way harder to adopt (they require thawing, scooping, prep work, extra time, and they’re more expensive). Even with the “healthier” options that we are marketed, it’s not clear whether the food actually results in better health outcomes. It was clear that the pet industry had a massive problem and I set out to fix it. Eventually we started evaluating his nutrition and once I changed his diet to raw food, the seizures stopped and I watched his health improve within about 30 days.
