Jean Donaldson on canine guarding/aggression by
Charlie Wilkes
Jean Donaldson's book, "Mine!" arrived today. It appears to be

for training a resource guarder is to desensitize the dog in slow,
patient increments, using rewards to condition a positive response at

Differences in intellect by
Julia Altshuler
Aw. I wanted to see a picture of Skeeter with his nose up a chuckle.
Are these differences in intellect or differences in approach?

Chew Toys for Yellow Labs (or larger dogs) by
Candy
I was wondering if anyone who has a yellow lab or large dogs has any
recommendations for good chew toys. We've given our dog various toys
that are supposedly for "strong chewers," but she gets through them
right away. Recently we've found a good nylabone, but she gets bored
of it rather easily. I...

Solo the Red misfit by
Melanie L Chang
Solo is a dog who often does not fit in. Most dogs are, well, just dogs,
but I swear Solo is on another plane. So stunningly handsome I am
sometimes awed. Each day is another chance to be amazed at his sheer
beauty and raw intellectual prowess. As smart as I am (and yes, I am
quite smart),...

entered against one of the vets. The jury determined the market value

Crate question by
\(the\)duckster
Dear experienced dog folk,
I am interested in purchasing this crate for one of my dogs. Has anyone had
any experience with it? Or something similar? At $250 it's a little pricey
to turn into just another horizontal surface. He's destroyed the standard
issue crate so I need to switch to the...

like we'll have to start with a new vet and vet practice. Khan is due
for his annual physical, which is typically when they'll want to

It would have been nice if the cold weather had blown in a huge
dump of snow, but we got only a couple of inches.
The official temperature is -32C/-26F, but the windchill makes
it -50C. This is the coldest weather I've ever seen and it's
supposed to last 4 more days before getting up to a...

Tee-vee training by

Well, I watched my first (maybe last) episode of VS' show today. Such
freakin' drama! The same weepy and horrified acting that she exhibited
