Thanks Benny! If your dog is suffering from behavioural issues you can change them, but those changes always start with the humans first! My website TheOnlineDogTrainer.com covers a broad range of behavioural issues and shows owners how to easily address them…maybe take a quick look…its a $1USD trial for 3 days…all the best Doggy Dan

Thank you for this beautiful email. Brought me to tears
I love my GSD but my husband is almost giving up on the hope that our baby will not change his behaviour
I am so torn

Hilary I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful dog Phoebe. Your story had me tearing up! It is apparent that she was a very important and valued member of your family and it was a blessing that you could be there with her at the end. Thank-you for sharing your story, as hard as it can be….Dogs are amazing, Doggy Dan

Our last dog, a rescue collie cross, was a treasure and we miss her dearly. Your story of Peanut sensing the end has prompted me to share our story. My husband and I had spent over a fortnight up in the Shetland Isles, and Phoebe, 14 but very active, couldn’t come with us on this holiday, for various reasons, so she went into kennels for the longest time we had ever left her. We felt guilty about this, and intended to have another short break away with her when we returned, to make up for it. We returned home on a Monday afternoon, went straight to the kennels, and she came trotting out to greet us, seemingly none the worse for being left. We all had a good romp in the meadows before returning home. But the next day she had trouble with her back legs, and when we took her for a walk she didn’t want to spin and run and catch the ball, in her usual manner, just plodded about. I should say, it was also the hottest week of the summer, here in the UK, so we thought maybe plodding was best! The following day her legs were still dodgy and she didn’t want her food, but we still put that down to the heat and her age. But on Thursday she couldn’t get up at all, we took her to the vet, where she was scanned – and found to have a massive tumour in her ribcage. She was made comfortable so that the whole family could visit her to say farewell that evening. We sat in the waiting room until the end of surgery, and then were shown in to the room where Phoebe was lying ……only she wasn’t…she had got up when she heard our voices, I suspect, and was staggering to the door as we opened it – it was heartbraking. We stayed with her, two at a time, for the next half our or so, stroking and kissing her, it was so lovely and so terrible, yet we knew she understood. The children left us alone with the vet eventually, and Phoebe soon slipped away. It is making me tearful just telling this story – but as the vet said, Phoebe waited for us to return from our holiday before collapsing. She must have had the tumour for quite a while, and yet there had been no sign of any problem until the day after we came home….she had waited for us.
I absolutely believe in the sixth sense that dogs have, other creatures too, which we do not have. The suddenness of Phoebe’s departure was a dreadful shock for us all, but we take comfort in the fact that she waited for us, loved us unconditionally. There is nothing greater in this world.

Beautiful and touching. We lost Bob our Boston on May 10 2018 at 15. He taught me so much and was the best friend., I totally get what you said about unconditional love. We have recently gotten a 5 month old Boston named Pebbles from a rescue and I am using your online training. I am so thankful for your gentle method and it is working so well. Again sorry for your loss. Peanut was lovely.

Thank-you for your well-wishes….I pass on my condolences to you for your loss as well. Every dog is unique and they do leave their own special mark in our lives. Other dogs certainly help with the healing process but they can never replace a life lost. Best, Doggy Dan

We lost both of our dogs this winter, and while we’ve adopted a new puppy (who is a joy), we still feel the void. So we do understand how deeply you can feel the loss of a friend like Peanut. We appreciated reading about the special bond you had with him. He truly was special.

Thanks Nancy, your kind words are really appreciated! We are all doing well, dogs included, and Peanut will certainly not be forgotten. She was a ‘one in a million’ dog….but then I guess everyone has one of those don’t they! Best, Dan

I have to absolutely agree with you Joan….dogs are way more intelligent than we give them credit for…in fact I believe they have a higher intelligence than ours in a lot of ways. The challenging ones are sent to teach us lessons that will stick with us for our entire life…but I acknowledge it can be difficult to see that when you are in the middle of working on their behaviour! Best, Dan

Thanks Marilyn. The saying ‘do what you love and you’ll never work another day in your life’ perfectly explains how I feel about helping dogs and their owners. Junior sounds like a great companion! Best, Dan

Hi Melanie, thanks for your kind words! Every dog is different, with their own individual personality and so some can certainly require a little more patience than others. I like to remind myself that these dogs teach us a lot about ourselves and we are all the better for their presence in our lives. One super quick way to manage Dexter’s behaviour around guests is to have him on a leash. It will mean he calms down a lot quicker and you can calmly manage any unwanted behaviours. Once he has relaxed you can give him a little more freedom. Best, Doggy Dan
