		<description><![CDATA[How important is the height of a dog&#8217;s bowl?  I have read a lot of information regarding barrel-chested dogs (Great Danes, Boxers, Standard Poodles, etc) and how they should be fed from an elevated bowl.  The school of thought is this would help to prevent bloat.  Having known of several dogs who died from bloat even with [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Height of Dog Bowls", url: "http://divadogtraining.com/blog/dog-food/height-of-dog-bowls" });</script>]]></description>

She had a heart murmur and was being checked for that condition.  As he was palpating (touching) her, she flinched and made a purr-type sound.

During the study, his snoring and intermittent gasps were so loud I was torn between laughing [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Snoring Dogs", url: "http://divadogtraining.com/blog/dog-humor/snoring-dogs" });</script>]]></description>

Stand in the middle of the dog&#8217;s bed (sofa, pillow, blanket, etc).

I have written previously about Melody, a tiny Yorkie with a horrible past.  If she never exuded a moment of happiness or silliness, it would be understandable.  She, however, is [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Dogs Being Silly", url: "http://divadogtraining.com/blog/behavioral-modification/dogs-being-silly" });</script>]]></description>
