		<title>Teaching Social Skills to a Pushy Puppy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Pushy Puppies is the term I use to refer to dogs or puppies who, for whatever reason, approach dogs in a very vigorous and socially inappropriate  way.  These dogs have never injured another dog, but people and other dogs often read the pushy puppies&#8217; actions as threatening and aggressive.  Pushy puppies appear to be unable to read other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
My beautiful 10-year-old dog, Doc, gradually lost his sight over the course of last year.  We can look back now and recognize when his sight started diminishing although when it was happening, we were clueless!  I remember being perplexed as to why he was barking so much more.  He was my daycare [...]]]></description>

		<title>To Play or Not to Play&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When is play too rough?  How can you tell the difference between bullying and play? Dogs play mildly imitates dogs fighting. Dogs give very clear indicators to each other when their intentions are aggressive, but we misinterpret or completely miss these signals very often. Some of the most common misread signals are piloerection (raising [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Dog is Afraid of Loud Sounds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Sound sensitivity is a common problem for dogs. Generally, the best approach is gradual desensitization and counter-conditioning. What this means is that you very gradually introduce the particular sound in a controlled environment at a barely audible level using a looped recording. Every day you should try to increase the volume while observing your dog, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Teaching Children to Greet Dogs Properly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
All children should be taught how to behave around dogs.  Your own pet may accept attention very differently than other dogs.  Many children run up to their own dog and hug them around the neck.

I found this article entitled &#8220;Why Dogs Make The Best Friends&#8221; in the Men&#8217;s Lifestyle area of MSN website. It is clearly written by a man, Jim Thorton, with an occasional jab at what he views as the typical overbearing woman, but it has a few very interesting comments worth reading about men&#8217;s relationship with [...]]]></description>
