I have 2 Miniature Pinschers. My husband and I consider them our 4-legged kids.

A dog memorial is a great way to memorialize your dog after he has passed on. The best part: you can make your own dog memorial any way you want to.

If this is your first time visiting an off leash dog park, these are the things you should know ahead of time.

Do you have a frightened dog only at certain times? If so, should you pet your dog to calm him during storms & other scary situations? The answer is yes, petting your dog, giving him treats, and using other calming behaviors are excellent counter conditioning methods that work!

Do you always try to keep the leash tight when walking your dog? Most do. Loose leash walking is MUCH more comfortable and enjoyable for you and your dog!

There are lots of times when you might want to try dog aromatherapy -- for example, if you have a nervous dog or an anxious dog. With dog aromatherapy, there are lots of ways to use fun scents -- that come in sprays or essential oils -- around the house. It's these unique scents that have beneficial effects on dogs.

Tired of standing in the rain waiting for your dog to do his business outside? Try training your dog to pee or poop on command. All you need is a 'cue word', some dog treats, and a little bit of patience.

Have you ever wondered if your dog is actually watching TV with you? The fact is dog eyesight is different from human eyesight, so dogs see images on television differently than we do.

Shaping is a popular method of dog training that works well. Clicker training is one form of shaping, but a clicker is not required in order to use the shaping dog training technique.

Most people are not aware of the fact that tennis balls can actually be dangerous to dogs. The danger is that when playing fetch with your dog, the ball could get stuck in your dog's throat when he catches it.
