Responding to Errors in Training |
When it comes to training a new skill, creating the right environment can impact your dog's success significantly. Dogs don't operate based on the concepts of "right" or "wrong" behavior; they respond to their surroundings. That's why when you're teaching a new skill it's crucial to set up the environment in a way that makes it easy for your dog to succeed. However, nobody's perfect, and sometimes dogs may not grasp what you're trying to teach them. This is a normal part of the training process. So, what do you do when your dog makes a mistake?

Why Do Dogs Bite Their Leash? |
|
|
| Does your dog's walk sometimes resemble a game of tug-of-war? Leash-biting and tugging are behaviors that many puppies and dogs develop, but they can be frustrating for both ends of the leash. Why do dogs bite and tug on their leashes, and what can sore-armed dog guardians do about it? |

CAT-Alyze Your Trick Training |
|
|
| Trick training is usually associated with dogs, but that’s no longer the case. Cats are now joining the fun! With positive reinforcement and patience, cats can learn many of the behaviors that dogs learn. Due to their smaller size and fantastic jumping abilities, cats can learn even more! (How many dogs are small and agile enough to jump on your shoulders?) |

CTP of the Month: Esti Araten |
|
|
| When Esti Araten, KPA CTP, wanted to understand her Lhasa Apso, Looli, better, she investigated all aspects of dog behavior. Although she was already involved with the Israeli Kennel Club (IKC) and participated in conformation shows, Esti was looking beyond the veterinary, breeding, and conformation-show rules and regulations she already knew. If possible, she wanted to know “what Looli thought.” |
