- How to achieve household harmony with your dog
- Updated: May 21, 2013 - 10:21 am
-
Dictionary.com defines “harmony” as: “agreement; accord; harmonious relations.” If your dog counter surfs, jumps on guests, barks incessantly, chases your cat to no end, and chews your couch, your home is in a constant state of tension. Just imagine waking up to your dog bringing you the newspaper and your slippers to start the day? It can happen.

- Tired of chasing your dog down the block?
- Updated: May 21, 2013 - 10:21 am

Have you ever seen the movie “Funny Farm” with Chevy Chase? He has an Irish Setter named “Yellow Dog” and as soon as he brings him home, the dog runs away. Throughout the film, the dog reappears but will never come to anyone who calls him. Don’t let this happen to you. The come/recall command is a vital connection between you and your dog. It is important not only for safety, but for establishing the appropriate hierarchy in your pack structure.

When I was 12, I watched the movie “Cujo.” Wow. I couldn’t sleep for a week. The perception that St. Bernard’s are friendly rescue dogs was definitely tarnished by the actions of Cujo. All of us have had some encounter with an unbalanced house or stray dog that has put us on the defense. Learning HOW to handle an unbalanced dog’s actions BEFORE they occur is the key to staying calm and bite free.
