		<description><![CDATA[I am not a good blogger. 
I have discovered that despite my conviction that I WILL come online and fill this blog up with lots of canine-based ramblings, it is all too easy to fall into a relaxed stupor and promise myself that I&#8217;ll do it tomorrow&#8230;
All has been well *touch wood* with our collies and other doggy friends and our *not quite a puppy anymore* pupster has finally started to learn how to chill out in the evenings instead of continuously bouncing off the walls or trying to play ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thought it was about time for a general update rather than another article and plus I love talking (writing) about my dogs - even though I&#8217;m sure there are far more interesting anecdotes out there!
I am amazed to see the change in my oldest boy. He was an Irish rescue that I have had for 3 years this July. 
When he came to me he was very nervous and extremely hand shy - the horrible scabs, lump on his head and big scar on his neck showed us that he ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I always hear lots of stories of &#8216;encounters&#8217; that dog walkers have with either other dogs or other people that leave a mark in their memories and a somewhat bitter taste in their mouths.
The story I tend to hear most often is of the &#8216;offlead dog&#8217; and there are two variants.
Story one, is that they were walking their fearful/dog aggressive dog ON THE LEAD when a bouncy dog comes over wanting to play and gets a bit &#8216;in yer face&#8217; - obviously this is detrimental to the fearful/dog aggressive dog ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing that people need to take into account before getting a dog is holiday care especially as having a dog does place restrictions on where you can go and how long for.
However, there are things that can be done to ensure you can enjoy your holiday and know that your pet is safe and sound.
1 - Look for a dog friendly holiday place! There are many cottages in the UK that will allow you to take your dogs on holiday with you which means you don&#8217;t have to worry ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Tail positions are another means by which dogs can communicate a ‘message’. There are some tail positions which have more than one meaning depending on the circumstance. For example, when a dog’s tail is down, it could be that the dog is resting or relaxed but, depending on the other signals, it could also mean that the dog is stressed. Aloff explains stress signals by stating ‘This animal is stressed: eyes averted, ears held out to the side, tail down. There is a rigidity&#8230;that tells us these are not signs ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 

There are various approaches that try to explain canine aggression. The nature approach argues that canine aggression is inherited from the parents and therefore part of the dog’s genetic make-up. As Fogle states, ‘Dominance aggression is primarily influenced by genetics…the dog’s natural genetic predisposition is to find his place in the pecking order, the dominance hierarchy.’ (Fogle, 1990, p. 11-12)
This would indicate that the behaviour is innate and therefore difficult to resolve. Fisher asserts that ‘There are two areas of aggression where a complete cure is almost impossible, we ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 

There are many advantages to using positive reinforcement rather than any other form when training. As Karen Pryor states, ‘Behaviour that is already occurring, no matter how sporadically, can always be intensified with positive reinforcement.’ (Pryor, 2002, p. 1) This is supported by Richardson &#38; Cole who argue that ‘By using positive reinforcement, we increase the chances of a particular action occurring again.’ (Richardson &#38; Cole, 2001, p. 149)

Dogs carry out behaviours that bring them the highest reward, so if we use positive reinforcement – that is to say, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is it that many dog owners I come across pride themselves on being the next Cesar Millan?
It frustrates me no end to hear how successful they are at being &#8216;pack leader&#8217; and how they always, always, ALWAYS go through doorways first and eat before their dog - because if you don&#8217;t, he might just usurp you and take your place as &#8216;dominant dog&#8217;&#8230;
Even yesterday, my other half was speaking to one of these &#8216;alpha leaders&#8217; and told her quite bluntly what a load of old codswallop it all is. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot of people I come across who are trying to train their dogs often tell me that their dog is stupid and doesn&#8217;t do what he&#8217;s told to do - or what he&#8217;s told not to do.
They tell me that they repeatedly tell their dog to do something ie &#8217;stay&#8217; but Fido &#8216;ignores&#8217; them and does his own thing&#8230;or he can&#8217;t do it because he&#8217;s &#8216;thick&#8217; and doesn&#8217;t know what they want him to do&#8230;
And that last sentence is the most crucial. If Fido doesn&#8217;t know what you want ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How old should your pup be before you start training? 
The general consensus amongst the owners that I have met, is that they think training should start at 6 months old.
I find this so surprising as by then, most dogs are well on their way into &#8216;teenagerhood&#8217; and the owners have missed out on some valuable training time.
Between 6-18 months is the time when pups might begin to get that extra mischevious spark about them - yes that&#8217;s right, chewing the skirting boards, pulling up the carpet, eating your favourite ...]]></description>
