Made Me Chuckle
Another favorite of mine; Hilary Price, is a cartoonist, storyteller, speaker, and hales from western Massachusetts. “Rhymes With Orange,” her award-winning comic strip, appears in newspapers internationally. (She was also the youngest woman to have a syndicated strip.) Check out her website for other comics; she’s great… https://www.hilaryprice.net

Barking and Bark Collars
They Can Work... But...
Someone writes that is using a type of bark collar on two dogs, and it sort of solved the barking problem but caused a more serious problem. It’s not the tools, folks; the fool at the end, the tool, that’s often the problem.

Same Litter Puppies – Good Or Bad Idea?
Wives Tale or a Reality? Some people want to get two pups at the same time for a variety of reasons, that more often than not are either wrong or less significant in impact than you might think.

Ask The Dog Guy's Power Steering Dog Training Collar
If your dog is more powerful than you and you’re tired of coming home from a walk with one of your arms longer than the other, you might need a little leverage. Note: The goal of any training device should be to teach self-control, rather than to force self-control. Always learn how to use your training tools before just ‘winging’ it.

P.S. Deal Of The Week
Quite possibly the shortest book on companion dog training ever written. 😄 In fact, more of an essay. Nevertheless, if you can ignore the fact that I seemingly ignored every grammar and editing rule in existence (I did), you’ll likely learn more about companion dog training from the perspective of what not to do and why, and what to do and why than anywhere else. Only $4.99 CND, which is about $4.40 US. Click Here For More Information

Help Others Discover Science & Common Sense In Companion Dog Training
My goal in 2023 (and onward) is to provide larger numbers of companion puppy and dog owners with access to science and common sense to counter the tsunami of ‘treat, treat, treat’ or ‘might is right’ misinformation that the amateur dog training world disseminates. I will be doing so via my YouTube Channel, Ask The Dog Guy ‘Pawdcast’, and an increased presence on things like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. (and this newsletter).

Do You Need Help With Your Dog?
I have helped companion puppy and dog owners from around the world (Canada, USA, England, South Korea, India, Mongolia).
I have quite a bit of detailed information prepared that answers most questions. Send me an email with as many details as you can and I’ll get back to you quickly with an overview of how I can help. [email protected]
Subscribe To The "Ask The Dog Guy" Pawdcast
Pawdcast content ranges from responses to companion dog behavior questions, to tips about training, breeds, breeding, rescues, etc. You’ll find the content is very different from most of the guidance you’ll find on the Internet and from people whose training experience seems to be based on watching the movie The Lady and The Tramp and confusing it with a documentary about dog behavior. (Treat, treat, treat, or might is right.) Instead, you’ll find guidance based on both science and common sense, along with the perspective of a 30+ year career working full-time with companion puppy and dog owners and their dogs.
