		<description><![CDATA[Separation anxiety manifests itself in varying degrees.  The symptoms can be very subtle and escalate quickly if not addressed.  I do believe that some dogs suffer from post-traumatic stress as well.  Combine the two, and you may come home to something like this.  These photos show the pure panic of a dog who was lost [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Separation Anxiety in Dogs", url: "http://divadogtraining.com/blog/behavioral-modification/separation-anxiety-in-dogs" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does your dog have dominant tendencies?  Are you confused at what that actually means?  Is dominant and being alpha one in the same?
A dominant dog isn&#8217;t necessarily the alpha dog.  Some dogs are born as dominant beings.  They are hard-wired from birth with the genetic makeup to be &#8220;bossy.&#8221;  Puppies will exhibit the behaviors in [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Is a Dominant Dog the Alpha Dog?", url: "http://divadogtraining.com/blog/behavioral-modification/is-a-dominant-dog-the-alpha-dog" });</script>]]></description>

It&#8217;s a surprise meeting as they look into each other&#8217;s eyes. . .

They slowly move to touch one another. . .

What happened next was far more fun for the dog than the cat.*

		<description><![CDATA[I was sitting outside tonight as it finally cooled down.  I was snacking on some nuts and had one of my dogs with me.  It&#8217;s good to spend time with your dogs individually as they each have different personalities.  It&#8217;s easy to miss the differences if they are always viewed as a pack.

		<description><![CDATA[Some dogs instinctively have a high prey drive.  In some cases, they can be trained to use this ability for search and rescue missions by taking their natural instinct and putting it to good use.  Here&#8217;s a video of a dog who was used on a special research program.

		<description><![CDATA[Most things about puppies are adorable.  They are always enthusiastic because everything is new and exciting!  They also lack the ability to focus and have a very short attention span. AND, it doesn&#8217;t bother them a bit.
