The Sheepish Look

She knows she’s not supposed to carry this big stick. Her owner is very upset:

  1. Her owner was ‘screaming’ for her for fetching something in the water. And now, she’s soaked and will have to be dried before coming into the car.
  2. Her owner is ‘screaming’ for her to drop the stick.

Behaviorists claim that dogs do not know what shame is. They claim that …

Golden Retriever running to catch-up

This Golden Retriever was ‘dilly-dallying’. She sniffed around, she looked at other dogs, she turned around, she sniffed some more and then she looked around if there’s something that she missed.

Meanwhile her owner is gone! called her He a couple of times, then he kept on walking, quite fast, and now she had to really run to catch-up…

Cream Golden Retriever

This dog is not a Golden Retriever. This dog is a Cream Golden Retrievers.

The Cream Golden Retrievers are supposed to be healthier and also live longer than the regular Golden Retrievers.

This Cream Golden Retriever looks beautiful and she was very good mannered too. She came to sniff me and look at my camera, while first ignoring my dog that was just behind me. Then when …

Dog on the attack: West Vancouver, BC

This dog is attacking us. He’s just 5m/15ft away and he’s going for me.

He ran from behind the bushes and went for me. He didn’t bark.

I took my photos, stood up ready for the attack, but I didn’t move. I was ready. At the last second, his owner whistled and he turned around and went back …

A Very Serious Frenchie

Most Frenchies, aka French Bulldogs, are ‘crazies’. This means: easily exited, excitable, outgoing, people oriented and usually very good natured.

Not her. She’s serious, not friendly and she doesn’t really like people. She puts up with people, but that’s as far as she goes. She doesn’t bite, she doesn’t even growl but if somebody want to pet her or play with …

Husky late for meeting

This Husky has to run. She’s behind and she needs to catch up.

She was dillydallying, sniffing around and now she has to run to catch up to her owner who’s not waiting for her.

Huskies are big and very energetic dogs. They need a lot of exercise. I don’t think that a few walks daily would be enough.

2 Dogs Meeting for the First Time

This is the first time that these two dogs meet each other. How will they react to each other?

  1. There is some aggression in the dog on the right (my dog). It’s a low level aggression combined with excitement. Look at the ears, they are almost backward reducing the aggression signal of the high tail.
  2. There is a willingness from the Corgi …

Bernese Mountain puppy eating grass

Often dogs eat grass just like this Bernese Mountain dog, who’s still a puppy. He’s 11 month old and has a German name that I didn’t understand.

Either he:

  • Has some nutritional deficiencies
  • Has an upset stomach
  • Is bored and has nothing else to do

The “most important” question when dogs are eating grass is:

Does the dog throw up grass afterward …
