I can’t understand why my dog has become a runaway dog! Typically there are a couple of reasons why your dog is trying to escape and runaway: • He either wants to get somewhere or • Get away from something. And chances are, he’s done it before if he’s still trying to escape Many dogs […]
“It has become extremely frustrating to see that my neighbor’s dogs are training my dogs to bark!” This came from a follower on Facebook asking me what to do. To make matters worse, he had just moved into the neighborhood and has dogs living on both sides of him. One dog on the left is […]
