This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Sexier than a squirrel by plaid_pants
This is a paid video series from the UK. You get one lesson emailed to you every day for 25 days. Each lesson is about 5 minutes long and teaches the dog owner one activity that will help make you be sexier to your dog than the squirrel at the other end of the park.
We are on day 7 now and I am impressed so far. Our dog has responded very well to it - even though he isn’t very food oriented. Just having fun with your dog for 5 minutes a day seems to have high training value when the fun is actually used to cue certain behaviors from your dog.
We taught our dog to roll over in about 10 minutes, which is very useful for getting him contained when you need it. Today’s lesson is to get your dog to follow you around everywhere.
