try searching your question on google.

Once a dog loses interest in food, it may be that he is giving up and wants you to as well.

Possibly now is the time to think what is best for him? Just a suggestion. I know how hard it is.

One thought though – you should have considered this question before you got the dog. Some dogs and some cats just don’t do well together.

Case in point, I am a big fan of the show "It Takes A Thief." If you’re not familiar with the show, basically these two guys rob you (with your permission) to show you just how vulnerable your house is and then give you lots of cool security stuff. Anyway, out of all the episodes in which people had dogs, the dogs were all perfectly friendly, very few of them even barked. I saw a doberman go running out his doggy door in fear when he saw the strange people come in!

Do people say this just to make themselves feel better or what?
johnny – no offense, but I don’t find you credible if you say ‘jeans’ when you mean ‘genes’
The show is on The Discovery Channel at 6 PM ET/PT – its great, everyone should watch it!

Protection means different things to different people.

For some this just means barking to alert the owners to something going on.

I seriously doubt what you said about most dogs not barking at an intruder..or just an unexpected noise. As a dog trainer, I know that getting a dog *not to bark* is possibly the hardest thing to do.

Of coarse, the show could have been easily edited to tape the dogs as not barking..before the intruders came…to make it look more credible, then editing the passive dog into the intruder scenes.

Most, if not all, dogs will bark at unexpected noises. This is all most people want.

If you have never atteneded a *citizens against crime* seminar…they will teach you that most criminals will victumize the person who is easiest to get to…the unlocked car, the woman walking alone….the house *without* the beware of dog sign.

It is just a fact that they want and will go after the easiest victum.

Thus, just having a dog, or a *beware of dog sign* makes you less vulnerable to a burglar than your neighbor who doesn’t have a dog.

That said..some people know bigger dogs will scare intruders, even if the dog is friendly.

I’ve used my small/medium size dog to scare off people in my parking lot….when I don’t feel good about the situation. He is on a leash…but will naturally lunge at something unexpected being there. Small, but ferociuos sounding. Works every time, and I didn’t have to train it.

And depending on the breed and dogs personailty, some dogs are natural attackers when their area is invaded.

This doesn’t mean there aren’t dogs that *go against the grain*., and run away in fear.

Thanks for tipping me to that show, though. I’d like to see it. When, and what channel does it air on?
