Ask Jennifer Messer Q: My new puppy only listens to me if I have a handful of treats. How do I wean her off treats so she’ll obey me regardless of what I have to offer? Tricked for Treats in Toronto A:SIMPLE: THINK VEGAS INSTEAD OF VENDING MACHINE The reason that your puppy only listens to you when you have a handful of treats is because she has learned that obedience only gets her what she wants if she sees the goods up front. Not surprising that she ignores you when you are empty handed; would you put coins in an empty vending machine? Nuh-uh. Your vending machine strategy was perfect for teaching her the meaning of your requests. But now she needs motivation to comply regardless of whether she sees any rewards up front. Time to turn your puppy into an obedience junkie vegas style. Slot machines are addictive because putting coin after coin in and NOT getting an immediate reward is a predictive of an eventual jackpot. Some jackpots are small, others huge but you just never know wh ....
Ask Jennifer Messer Q: How do I teach my dog to walk off-leash beside me? The street kids where I live always seem to have the most well-behaved, street savvy, leash-free dogs. -Mary-Ann, Vancouver, BC A: I've marveled at the angelic street kids' dogs too. and I think there are a few layers to the answer of why their dogs seem so perfectly well behaved.

Those you see are the ones that made the grade a very select group of dogs that are compatible with a unique lifestyle. To think otherwise would be like watching the Olympics and thinking your boyfriend should swim as well as the competitors. Entirely different sample selection! The second issue concerns how the "street-kid dog" lifestyle might change a dog's motivation to wander off. Despite all our love and good intentions, many pet dogs are quite ....
Have you ever wondered how to break up a dog fight? There must be a safe way to intervene between two dogs. Apprehensive in Alberta had the same question, so we reached out to expert Jennifer Messer to help us you. Q: A friend of mine was walking her dog when a terrier-cross bee-lined towards them, attacking poor Bedlam. Being a typical Beagle, he didn’t fight back just screamed the whole time she was clamped onto his face. Eventually, they pulled her off, and Bedlam was left with pretty bad punctures. He is recovering fine, but it sounds like he could have ended up dead if the fight wasn’t stopped. I’ve never had to break up a fight, and don’t know when I should try to, or that I even could. Any tips? Apprehensive in Alberta A:Gladly. Not all fights are created equal. In fact, most spats between well-socialized dogs do not require any intervention at all. Like human arguments with shoving and swearing, spats can appear nasty even though neither party intends serious harm. Dog ....
