I think it's great that Pancho wants to protect us, but I'm worried he can't tell the difference between real danger and play. How can I break him of this habit before someone gets seriously hurt?

Ask the Dogfather : Drydocked Boston Terrier

Can my 8-year-old Boston Terrier ever be trained to swim? He gets his paws wet, but he looks surprised and offended if a wavelet comes along and smacks him.

Ask the Dogfather: A prickly Poodle and a Lab chaser

Why couldn't it have been a Maremma (a breed you're unlikely to ever see on the Vineyard) or a Komondor, instead of a Lab. But alas, it was a Lab, and your poodle girl is likely to meet plenty more.

Ask the Dogfather: Lena the muncher and Tucker the jumper

Lena looks right at me and begins to chew the corner of the coffee table. Or the end of the piano. Also, she managed to bite off a small strip of rushing on the only genuine antique in the house. She has a varied doggy diet, with lots of munchies and the occasional pretend toothbrushing gimmick from Milkbone, so I can't think she lacks fiber.

The bird was having a great time manipulating and terrorizing the dog.

If Elvis is not totally deaf there are high frequency devices that he can be taught to respond to... Elvis is lucky to have you guys, so remember, plenty of love, but no pity.

Sounds like Crosby crossed over from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde stage. Actually, it's quite normal. Dogs tend to go from puppy, to punk, to young adult (not much better than punk), to adult, to adult adult, to senior adult.
