There are MANY reasons dogs bark. Barking is jus There are MANY reasons dogs bark. Barking is just a outward representation of different underlying behaviors ... it's your dog's form of communicating a variety of different emotions and needs! If you want to change the behavior, you must first understand the “why” behind that behavior. Why does your dog bark?
Being an advocate for your dog means making sure t Being an advocate for your dog means making sure they are never put in situations beyond their ability to cope. This may include intervening — both verbally and sometimes physically — to prevent a situation from happening that you know will be stressful for your dog.  Most recently, I had to physically grab two squealing children who ran up to pet Moose at a street fair. Its taken me many years to fine tune my situational awareness and intervene on behalf of my dog (when necessary). But my dog’s unwavering trust in me makes it all worth it. Ways I Advocate For My Dog: 1. Putting my dog’s happiness and well-being before my own. 2. Not being afraid to say “no” when I need to 3. Asking myself if my dog would enjoy or benefit from an outing or experience. 4. Always having an exit strategy if a situations become too much for my dog. 5. Physically placing myself between strange dogs or people Anytime I feel uncomfortable in social situations, I remind myself that my dog’s opinion of me, and trust in me, matters far more than any stranger’s opinion ever will.
Imagine another car hitting your vehicle from behi Imagine another car hitting your vehicle from behind at 60 mph. In this scenario, a 25lb unrestrained dog could quickly become a 1400lbs projectile. With that amount of force, your dog could go straight through the windshield and be killed instantly. Or, it could hit you in the back of the head, killing you both. This may seem extreme, but it is reality we need to take into consideration when traveling with our dogs. The scariest part is that it doesn’t take a big accident for it to be deadly. CRATES The safest and best option for your pet is to use a crash-tested crate that is securely fastened to the vehicle. Some of the most commonly used kennels on the market are Ruffland (pictured above), Gunner, and Impact. While some individuals may not be able to fit properly sized crates in the backseat of their vehicle, the next best thing would be a crash-rated harness. The Center For Pet Safety recommends several crash tested harness brands such as Sleepypod Products. However, Crates are ALWAYS recommended over harnesses whenever feasible. AVOID Commonly used products that are NOT crash tested/approved by third-party non-profits and therefore NOT recommended • Wire Crates • Dog Booster Seats • Car Hammocks • Riding in a passenger's lap/arms RESOURCES: Center For Pet Safety: https://www.centerforpetsafety.org Center for Pet Safety (CPS) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit safety science organization dedicated to consumer and companion animal safety.
