Hi Meira, Hope this message finds you well. I have a question for you my dear. My girl Lady (Cocker Spaniel) pulls when I walk her, not even funny. She really is a sweet dog, and I love her a lot, but this pulling is driving me crazy! I also have some issues with my knee, and her pulling can …

I am so excited about Victoria Stilwell‘s seminar, ‘Inside Your Dog’s Mind’ which is taking place on Saturday, April 30th, in Cornwall Ontario. Which is just an hour’s drive from Montreal. If you watch Animal Planet, then you’ve probably seen her very successful show ‘It’s Me or the Dog’ a few times, just as I have. Victoria is a world …

Hello, I have a ten month old Bernedoodle (half Bernese half poodle). He is still in his puppy stage and his biting has gotten better except for when we have him on his long leash on the back yard. Whenever he barks at the door we put him on the leash in the backyard for his to do his business. …

I know that I am no dog behaviorist or dog trainer. I am a person that believes that all animals are sentient beings that deserve to be respected. Therefore, I am in favor of the new e-petition calling for  a ban of Shock Collars. The following petition is being presented by Kennedy Steward, Member of Parliament for Burnaby South in …

We recently took in a young, medium/large male dog. We don’t know his age, breed, or much of his background. We know he was severely underweight and has injuries from being attacked by other dogs; it is our understanding that he was on a tie-out and unable to escape when attacked. He seems to be some mixture of hound and …

Hello Meira, I am hoping that you could help me out with my puppy! Jake is a 10 month old Chihuahua that I adopted two months ago. He is super sweet, and we love him to bits, but the peeing in the house is a real problem! I take him out often but he won’t pee outside, no matter how …

We have a 9 1/2 year old pom/spitz mix who recently had knee surgery to repair a torn ACL ligament (over one month ago). His other knee is in bad shape as well but the vet wants to wait and see if it will also require surgery, since it was not in as bad condition as the one he operated …

Hello Meira, I am writing in because I have noticed that you talk a lot about positive reinforcement in dog training, and I get the impression that you don’t believe in prong or choke collars. With my other dogs, I have always used choke collars, and I also used a prong collar on a very strong, large dog that I …

Hi Meira, I have a couple of questions and was hoping you could help me out. When the weather gets better I’m hoping you can come by and help me with both my dogs barking and Abbeys temper problems but for now, hopefully you’ll be able to help me out on fb. My dogs (now almost 1 and a half) …

Help! I’m 2 months pregnant and since I conceived, my 2 dogs have been acting so strange, I really don’t know what to make of it. I was put on preventative leave so I stopped working and I’m home all day with my pups.. You would think they would be thrilled, but they have been all out of sorts. Romeo …
