Dog Crazy Newsletter Thursday April 26, 2012     National Kids and Pets Day – April 26th Is Here! Hi Readers, Kids and dogs are a great combination. In fact, one of the first thing dog lovers will look for in a pet is one who’s good with kids. Many families with dogs also include children. April 26th is National Kids and Pets Day and it’s a great time to celebrate these lasting and loving friendships. Studies show that kids benefit from dog ownership just as much as adults do. Making sure the two interact well can take a little work, however. Read this article for valuable information: How to Keep Dogs and Kids Together Dogs are wonderful helpers in special needs cases. Take this story, for example: a unique program brings dogs to children with autism  and it’s been a great success.  And therapy dogs can even help children learn to read Kid's say the silliest things – and the silliest are usually about their pets.

Dogs bark for all kinds of reasons, including anxiety, boredom and/or loneliness. Sometimes they bark just because it feels good. Luckily, most dogs will respond to one or other intervention to curtail their barking. Whether you simply bring an outdoor dog inside or take the time to apply behavior-modification techniques, you can cause a dog to be less of a nuisance and to be more socially acceptable. For more information, please read the story When Barking is a Problem.

Dog Crazy Newsletter Tuesday April 24, 2012     Should You Worry About Your Dog's Grass Eating Habit? Hi Readers, I receive a lot of calls from new dog owners (and some experienced ones) about dogs eating grass. Many dogs will take an occasional bite of grass while outside but their owners aren't sure if it's good for them. Grass eating is a normal canine behavior, but how do you know when they're eating too much? Here is an article that explains all about your dog's grassy snacking Some people think that dogs eat grass to induce vomiting. Others say that eating grass replaces loss nutrients, or just tastes good. What do you think? Test your knowledge of some common myths about canine behavior (I love articles like this!) at:  Old Wives Tales Eating grass isn't the only naughty thing your dog can do when he's out in the yard. Some dogs also love to dig, dig, and dig. It can be a hard habit to break but, with patience and dedication, you and your pooch can get through it together. Read this article for more information: For more insight on the instincts behind this behavior, visit Dealing with Dogs that Dig.
