- The Campbell Puppy Test
By: Tristan Andrews | - Why should you test a puppy? A dog's personality can be observed at a very young age. Is he dominant? Submissive? A comfortable medium? Knowing where your puppy falls on that range can help greatly when you decide to train him.

Here follows a few reasons for the poor table performance of an agility dog:

By: Darell McKissick | - Face it, nobody likes a dog that doesn't listen and behave. But everyone loves a dog that sits and stays on command.
If you have a barker or a jumper, it can be quite frustrating watching the dog ignore you every time company comes over. It's almost embarassing.
Your dog doesn't want to disappoint you. He has a natural desire to please you. When he's bad, he just doesn't know any better. I like to think there are no bad dogs, just good dogs that behave badly.

By: Debbie Boffa | - A very good neighbor dropped in yesterday for a coffee. Or at least I thought that was it. In fact she was so upset that she was in tears before the coffee had even brewed. Thinking that her husband must have run off with the particularly buxom waitress at our local diner, he and his buddies endlessly discuss this lady's virtues, and I am always amazed at their tendency to confuse ambition with ability, but I digress. I gave her my full attention. I sat down and comforted her, expecting all ...
