March Madness!
Does your dog have any bad habits? Wouldn't it be great if annoying behavior came in like a lion, but left like a lamb?
Of course providing enough exercise and mental stimulation
for Fido will go a long way to calming the canine crazies, but some habits
definitely require additional training in order to disappear.
It may be good for your dog to believe in magic, but there is
no such thing when it comes to changing behavior. Dog Star Daily offers tons of
training tips and insights into common dog behavior problems including
information on how to prevent them from forming in the first place, to how to
address challenges that keep your pooch from being nearly perfect.
Does your dog's mouthing miff you? Nicole Silvers explains that
puppy mouthing is normal and necessary, however adolescent mouthing is not cool.
Jumping for joy sounds oh-so-lovely, but the reality is that
jumping up gets a lot of dogs into trouble. Here are Dr. Ian Dunbar's latest thoughts on the subject.
And then there is the final frontier for many dogs, learning
how to walk politely on-leash. Both Drayton Michaels and Grisha Stewart provide
offerings on the topic.

More March Mayhem
We get lots of email from people who are at their wit's end
when it comes to their dog's behavior; so we dedicated a few iWoofs podcasts to
helping people see the light at the end of the tunnel.
In "Puppy Problems: When Will It End?" Ian, Kelly, and Jamie
Dunbar explain the importance of tackling puppy problems head on, as early as
possible, and the episode "Adolescent Mayhem" talks about how to get through
this particularly challenging time in your youngster's development. Teens are
rarely easy. It's a time when so many people say, "What happened to my sweet,
little, perfect puppy?' Have no fear; help is merely a mouse-click away!
