by Dr Enid Stiles, Sherwood Park Animal Hospital When I first started seeing veterinary behaviour cases, I was a strong believer, as I had been taught, that most behaviour problems in domestic animals occurred because “The owner wasn’t doing it right”, “Who’s the master here?”, “He doesn’t get enough exercise”, “He’s spoiled”, etc. Nurture was far stronger, in the opinions …

Hi Meira, I’m having a problem with my dog. He is 3 year old pit bull and is neutered, and he normally gets good exercise and good walks, but a couple months ago he had to have leg surgery, and he was put on ‘bed rest’ for over a month. He’s allowed to move around now, but we can’t let …

(Got a product for us to review? Contact: reviews@montrealdogblog.com) Hey! What up, dogs? (get it? I’m trying to be funny.) How is everyone? Hope everyone’s doin’ good and stayin’ dry. I’m super annoyed with the dampness, cold and fly-by-night rain showers. YEA! So it’s been a few posts, we’re gettin’ to know each other and I thought it’d be neat …

I like the idea of balance in my life!  I know the importance of vacations! I understand puppy parent separation anxiety! And I completely feel the need to have my fur-babies always in the hands of people we totally trust. We have never used a kennel. We just can’t! For the majority of time, we have had a pet/house-sitter who has come to our house.  It is …

  PLEASE SHARE! The following is a courtesy listing on behalf of foster mom Nat Gabriela.   Reuben is our foster dog. He is a 5 year old (+/-) Beagle/Basset mix and he’s still waiting for a forever home. He comes from a hoarding situation and a subsequent adoption fail. He is potty trained. Sits for his meals. Is a …

Q:  We just adopted a dog. He’s really good about everything  – very well trained and he’s 6 months old. We live in an apartment and we take him out for walks and lots of play time. But every time we start to go home he just stops outside of our building. He wont move.  The only way to get him inside …

  Thanks to Nat Gabriela, a friend and fan of Montreal Dog Blog, I was able to visit SPCA Laurentides Labelle this past Monday.  As we walked in, a cute little Shih Tzu girl was first to greet us. The team of the SPCALL welcomed us and introduced themselves and described the work they do. We left the reception area …

 Tails from the road with Mouse On Friday I got to go on my first weekend get away.  I truly needed to get away from these golden boys. They drive me crazy they are so stupid. I heard Mother lamenting about how maybe she should take me with her as the place they was staying accepted dogs. There wasn’t a …

               It’s official, Stanley has pep in his step!  After a few weeks of a regular food routine, some special probiotics for his stomach and a quiet place to sleep Stanley is ready to explore the world.  So for the last 3 day we’ve been able to go for much longer walks then we were …
