I know we all have a lot we could say for this one. There are so many things we could change about our dogs if we really wanted, and yet, part of owning a dog is tolerating the fact that they are dogs and they do dog things. There are many, many things about our dogs we choose to accept or can’t control. What are some behaviors you tolerate from your dog?
The list goes on and on for me. I’ve been working ...

I have to ask this question because so many people let their dogs do whatever they want in the car, and it looks so dangerous. Ace sits in the back seat of my car. That would be why there is a towel back there and tons of hair and dro ...

I am always working on something with my dog. Every day he does something and I think, I wish he wouldn’t do that! But it’s easier to say “I wish my dog would do that” than it is to say “I am teaching my ...

I am queen of exercising my dog. That is one thing I can brag about. Ace and I walk (or run) every day no matter how bad Fargo’s weather gets. We might miss one day a week on rare occasions, but it is rare. A walk is the one thi ...

Mayra Calvani from Mayra’s Secret Bookcase said her golden retriever Amigo (not pictured) barks like crazy when her family members hug or kiss. She wonders if it’s because her dog is jealous.
What do you think? Is a dog’s barking sometimes a sign of jealousy? Is that the case with Amigo?
I think dogs do get jealous. When I’m playing games with my cats or talking to them, my mutt Ace is always ...

Emily from My Lime had this question, What is the silliest game you play with your dog?
I don’t have a lot of games I play with Ace, but I like to goof around with him and make fun of him. One thing I do is throw a blanket over ...

Lora from It’s the Dogs’ Life has a good question this week: How do you deal with leash aggression and what causes it? She asks because her lab, Apollo (not pictured), acted aggressive wh ...
