Teaching your dog how to fetch seems like it should be one of those things that’s so simple it requires no real thought or effort. After all, dogs love both playing and pleasing their humans, and fetch involves both of these things — you should just be able to do it, right? Short answer: nope. […]
By Josh Weiss-Roessler As winter creeps closer, you’ve probably noticed that your afternoon walks with your dog are starting to feel more like evening walks — the sun drops below the horizon earlier and earlier and, with it, so do the temperatures. Walking a dog at night is a lot different than daytime strolls, and […]
Cows moo. Cats meow. Dogs bark. Sometimes, dogs bark way too much, and that can become a problem. But it’s not as difficult a problem to solve as a lot of people think. I don’t think anyone wants their dog to never bark. A little barking at the right time can be very useful, whether […]
There is so much beauty to behold in nature. Until just recently I had no idea that there were actual wild dogs in New Guinea.

They’re the kind of people who […]
