Some thoughts for the day.
So often we humans forget that common sense management goes a long way in addressing problems with our dogs.
Anecdote: A young couple called complaining that when they would take the leash off their dog at the end of their walk the dog would run away. “Which side of the door do you unleash him,” asked Glenn. “Just before we enter the house,” the wife replied. “Just unleash him on the other side of the door and your problem will be solved.”
Anecdote: A couple called concerned that their dog was pacing in their bedroom all night. Seems the dog had always slept under their bed, but since they had removed the legs of the bed and the bed was on the floor, the dog was pacing. “Put the legs back on the bed,” suggested Glenn. “Of course,” sighed the sleepless dog owner.
Anecdote: Students in class often complain that their dogs jump on people coming to the house. Simple short-term solution: leash the dog so that he can’t jump on them.
