Communication Breakdown

Posted by jennifer on March 28, 2007 in Training & Behavior Tips.

The days of giving the dog a bone, patting him on the head and letting him live out his years in the backyard in a dog house are long since gone my friends. Now that we've made the transition from back yard pets to couch potato pals, there's more going on behaviorally then meets the eye. For one thing, dog problems are getting worse and worse because more people are seeing their dogs as equals rather than as subordinate animals (which is actually where they prefer to be when it comes to human companionship.) So where do the chips fall when you come home to see your dog? Is he or she allowed to sleep in your bed? Does he jump up to greet you? Push his way in front of you to get through the door? Does he insist on taking over the couch? Does he pull you down the street on the leash or maybe have sudden hearing loss when you call them to come back to you? If your dog displays any or more of these symptoms, he or she may have what I call- "Spoiled, Rotten Dog Syndrome" and it may be worth your while to read an article about it on my website. There is help out there for those who want it.... lol
