Re: dog poisoned by neighbour

One of the best solutions is to train our dogs not to bark (this problem used to drive me up the wall till I learn from "The Dog Whisperer" videos how to deal with it. Now I just have to say to them gently "Quiet" and they immediately obey. I used to have to shout at the top of my voice "QUIET!!!", thinking that the louder and the more I shouted the more they would obey, but it didn't work. Actually it all boils down to leadership - about whether our dogs think we are their pack leaders or not as dogs are basically wolves in dogs' skins, and pack members in a wolf pack ALWAYS obey what the pack leader expect of them). The other is to train our dogs not to eat foods on the floor and foods offered by strangers.
