Raccoons as pets in New York? I mean they can carry rabies and this isn’t legal but he does leave a window open so the little dude can get fresh air? But then again it’s not so good that he is learning to get food from people. He’s going to learn the Mr. Softee song for sure. by @thinkingcanine

Is this dog protective? Or a fearful chicken dog? #dogbehavior #mansbestfriend by @thinkingcanine

Michelle O Henne why are you comparing someone who makes up to ten videos of me per day, that are crazy and full of defamation with me making an educational clip that’s very clear cut? How is there a comparison? Do you hold women to different standards than men? Not believe they should be able to defend themselves? by @thinkingcanine

If you want your dog to be friendly and well behaved in most situations, you should strive for them to be ok in all situations. Allowing this behavior just sets back your goals. #dogbehavior #reactivedog #anxiousdog by @thinkingcanine

If you look up this trainer, you’ll see incident after incident of his dog getting bitten and attacked by aggressive dogs. And these videos end up being his top performers… yes… he makes money for “fighting” his dog. You can see her fear, her tucked tail. Everyone makes mistakes, but when you see a dog like her get bitten over and over, it stops being a mistake. Not to mention the liability involved with these dogs being in a public park. by @thinkingcanine

This shelter dog bit a reporter who was trying to showcase him. I don’t think aggressive dogs belong up for adoption. This dog is a liability. He’s a problem. And he’s taking airtime from safe dogs who are desperate to find a family. #shelterdog #reactivedog by @thinkingcanine

Would you allow this to happen in your home with your dog? I wouldn’t! by @thinkingcanine

My neighbors have tons of chained up, dogs that bark for many many many hours of the day and night, continuously. And it’s been 6 months of this and Portugal GNR and SEPNA haven’t done much. At what point do I have a right to be able to idk, sleep in my own bed? At what point does a country follow its own minimal animal welfare laws and recognize that maybe these animals are barking for 10+ hrs a day because they are in misery? by @thinkingcanine

Personally, I would never send my dog to a boot camp. Because I love my dog, and I wouldn’t want this to ever happen to them. And this is more common than you would think… you just won’t see it on the social media page of the company and they won’t be doing this in front of you. And PS… your dog now is going to have to work through this trauma for a lifetime. #dogbehavior #balancedtraining by @thinkingcanine

The language we use is so important when it comes to dogs. What do you think? Fight or attack? #dogbehavior #reactivedog #dogtips by @thinkingcanine
