Brad asked how to teach a dog to bare his teeth on command.

My very tame American Eskimo, Jersey, (who wouldn't hurt a flea by the way) used to show his teeth. But it was only when our new little puppy, Destin -- and then years later our newest puppy, Tenor -- would get on his nerves.

So out of frustration, Jersey would simply bare his teeth as if to show some sort of dominance to these young pups. It was if he was saying, 'Okay, I've had enough... stay away... I'm done playing.'

It was cute. But it can actually be a scary situation if you don't know you're dog's own limits and how to read a dog's body language.

That said, there are ways that you can teach your dog to 'show teeth'...

You've probably seen commercials for The Goodlife Recipe on TV...

Today, August 20th, kicks off the Here's to The Goodlife pet video contest sponsored by The Goodlife Recipe brand food & treats for cats and dogs.

Here's an email I received from Abby on behalf of The Goodlife Recipe:

I've been following your blog ever since we started talking about The Goodlife Recipe products and treats back in January. I know you're always looking for the latest pet news and products (the Cleanup Bag Dispenser is great!), so I wanted to share information about a fun and exciting contest that's being launched this summer called the Here's to The Goodlife pet video contest (www.goodliferecipe.com). The contest is about sharing real moments like the hilarious doggie "boot scoot" clip (a close-competitor to the Stanley Steamer commercial)."

Have you seen this Stanley Steamer commercial on TV yet?... It's the one where the little boy says, "Mom... watch Toby's new trick!"

Too funny, right?

Well, it gets better...

I guess dogs are not only man's best friend...

By the looks of this video, dogs are whales' best friends, too!

Check out the incredibly touching story of Luna the whale...

Here's another installment of funny dog videos.

This is my all-time favorite video of dogs -- at this time.

It's a truly precious video of an entire litter of Bernese Mountain Dog puppies filmed by Valle de Arbas.
