    Why Doesn’t Your Dog Come When Called?

    Why Doesn’t Your Dog Come When Called?

    Join host Michele Forto as she discusses why dog's don't come when called. 
    It’s always useful to understand why your dog is exhibiting a certain behavior. For many, it’s down to a lack of training, which you’ll soon learn how to rectify. 
    However, for other dogs, it could be due to fear or apprehensiveness. They’re worried about being punished, especially if your tone of voice is even just slightly angry or annoyed. For some dogs, it could simply be that they’re having so much fun and really don’t want playtime to be over. They know that if they come over to you, then chances are that the fun and games will stop.

    12 Compelling Benefits of Professional Dog Training

    12 Compelling Benefits of Professional Dog Training

    Join host Michele Forto on Dog Works Radio as she discusses the benefits of professional dog training. 
    Training dogs is among the things pet owners know they should do. Knowing where to begin with a dog can be challenging, especially if the new dog is the first pet. There are many compelling benefits of professional dog training.
    A dog that is not well-trained may chew, jump, or go to the bathroom in areas that are not appropriate. Training entails more than a pet minding its manners. It provides mental stimulation for pets.

    Join host Michele Forto on Dog Works Radio as she discusses why dogs run away. 
    You open your front door to pick up a package, and then your dog bolts out and is gone. Or you’re taking a peaceful walk with your dog, and suddenly they’re chasing a rabbit, out of sight. One of a dog owner’s worst nightmares is having their dog run away, yet it’s an all too common, potentially dangerous scenario.

    Barking Up the Right Tree: Understanding and Managing Your Dog’s Vocalizations

    Join host Michele Forto on Dog Works Radio as she discusses why your dog barks and how to manage it. 
    Dealing with a barking dog can be frustrating and challenging for pet owners. Barking is a natural behavior for dogs; it's one of the main ways they communicate. Yet, when barking becomes excessive or inappropriate, it can lead to issues with neighbors and create a stressful environment within the home. If you're looking to curb your dog's barking and manage the behavior effectively, it's important to understand why dogs bark and the strategies you can employ to address this behavior.
