I received two calls this week that that reminded me about the importance of making sure a dog is physically healthy before I recommend training strategies. One call was in regards to a 3-year old dog that recently started whining uncontrollably whenever his person was out of the room or out of the home. He also had a few housetraining regressions and his guardian found a few accidents when he got home.

Having housetraining regressions with a dog that was previously housetrained?
This topic comes up quite frequently with my private clients. Dogs of all ages and sizes can be finicky eaters. While I normally don't like to contribute to "breedism" I have found in my experience that small breeds can be more finicky than large breeds.
