Dogs + Behavior & Training

  • Nobody has ever accused the Otterhound of primping and preening. She is a come-as-you-are kind of dog, with casual good looks and a laid-back personality.

  • With its big fringed ears flowing in the breeze like pretty wings, it is easy to see why the Papillon is named after a butterfly, but the Pap also has the lightness, grace, and delicate beauty of its winged namesake.

  • The Parson Russell Terrier, or PRT, epitomizes feistiness. He is confident, fearless, alert, and happy. His liveliness can be a lot of fun in an active household with experienced dog owners.

  • The Pekingese will worship you, but they won't admit it. They'd rather have you believe they run things and have their own perfectly intelligent ideas.

  • Pembroke Welsh Corgis are not lap dogs - they are highly intelligent, decision-making, highly active, outgoing cattle dogs and tend to be dominant. They love being with their family in all activities including long walks and car trips.

  • Barking in Dogs

    Una de las quejas más frecuentes de los propietarios y de los vecinos es que el perro ladra demasiado. No obstante, ladrar es natural en el perro y sirve como señal de alarma y de advertencia. Algunos animales también pueden ladrar cuando se separan del grupo o de la familia, así como en momentos de indecisión, ansiedad o frustración.

  • Controlling Pulling on Walks

    Hay perros que tiran demasiado de la correa porque son especialmente juguetones, les gusta explorar e investigar el entorno y se sienten atraídos por muchos estímulos (niños, otros perros, etc.).

  • This is no lazy old hound dog. The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen attracts attention wherever she goes because of her merry, energetic disposition. She's always on the lookout for fun and excitement, especially in the form of an outdoor adventure.

  • The elegant, classy Pharaoh Hound is a striking companion. His handsome good looks always draw attention.

  • Mouthing, nipping, and biting are used by all puppies during social play with their littermates. Once they leave their littermates, you can easily teach them a new set of games that are appropriate for social play with people. It is important to provide puppies with outlets for appropriate play from the start. Puppies should never be punished for playing with their teeth, as it can cause them to become permanently fearful of people.
