His column is updated every day or thereabouts, so check back to see what on Dr. Dave's mind today.
to get what you need!!!!!!!Winter Walkies
It's winter.
It's freezing.
There's snow and ice everywhere, and the dog wants to go for a walk.
He needs the exercise, but five minutes into the walk he's looking at you reproachfully, complaining about cold toes and frozen feet.
The solution may be dog boots.
If your dog accepts them (and many dogs are pretty laid back about playing dress-up), you can buy a set of boots for your dog, keeping his feet nice and warm the next time he drags you out into the ice and the sleet.
DESENSITIZING AND COUNTER-CONDITIONING TO STOP BARKING
Brenda W. wrote asking what to do about her dog who barks at horses despite being around them all the time. I suggested she try desensitizing and counter-conditioning the dog.
These two things work on lots of behavior problems (such as territorial aggression).
