Training Tips for Small Dog Breeds
While a small dog is as much of a dog as any of the larger breeds, smaller breeds tend to get less training time than bigger dogs. As a dog trainer, I’ve had small dogs as frequently as I’ve had larger breeds, yet after recently bringing home a small breed puppy, I was reminded how many people are surprised that my small dogs get as much socialization and training as my large breeds do. This is because there is an assumption that smaller dogs need less training. But dogs who don’t get training are more likely to have behavioral issues, which can make dogs less pleasant to live with and more challenging to bring places.

Teach Your Dog to Say Please: The Key to Good Behavior
We teach children to say please because it’s polite, but what about our dogs? Should we ask them to say please, too? And how would you even do that?

Why do dogs bury things?
I always thought dogs burying bones only happened in cartoons until we had a second dog. He takes treats, toys and food outside, digs a hole and buries it, digging with his paws and filling in the hole by pushing the soil back with his nose. I have yet to see anything dug back up, the yard must be full of buried treats just waiting to be discovered. Why he does it and not the other dog baffles me. If I give them a chewy bone, he races straight to the door to take it outside while the other dog gets right on with the task of chewing that treat. Is it to do with a specific breed? Why does he do this?
