If you have a reactive dog, this may interest you.

As the owner of a reactive dog, there are so many emotions that come with it- guilt, embarrassment, shame, fear, etc. Seeing an off leash dog on a hike is incredibly stressful for me and my pup. So glad to see a new study on this as I don’t think it’s talked about nearly enough!



Excellent use for the cardboard roll from a 🧻. Just fold over one end, add treats, fold over the other end, and give to your dog.

Any of my dog-loving friends want to take part in a cool dog research project? The @DogAgingProject is looking for more dogs from specific places.

New in Science: A genetic study involving more than 2,000 dogs suggests that, contrary to popular belief, breed alone is a poor predictor of behavior. Read that research and more in this week's issue. ➡ fcld.ly/85l8lon

DNA analyses of 2,155 purebred and mixed dogs from @darwinsarkfnd finds that on average, breed accounts for only about 9% of the variations in any given dog’s behavior. Therefore, authors suggest breed should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog.

Prof. Jennifer Vonk is recruiting cat and/or dog owners 18 yrs or older to participate in an online (~15 minute) survey about euthanasia of your pet. If this topic is too upsetting, please disregard. oakland.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3t…


It is worth putting in the time to get your dog used to having its nails cut/filed. Just go slowly. #dogtrainingtips


Blue knows that sometimes it is best to ignore unwanted behavior. #dogtrainingtips

A consistent routine is associated with reduced behavioral problems in dogs, which is associated with higher owner satisfaction and reduced intention to abandon the animal. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…


Folks, be good to the veterinary staff or they may not be there when you need them.

Working on what jump height Wagline dog Tasse will be running. Spoiler alert: I don’t think it is going to be 20”.


I always think of this article when Tasse gets her hackles up. #dogbehavior #dogtraining

It's Science Says Sunday! We all know the importance of proper socialization during a puppy's sensitive period. Does training during this period have an impact on a dog's behavior later in life? doi.org/10.3390/ani110…
