Why Does My Dog Dislike Being Brushed?

While many dogs enjoy grooming sessions, some go berserk when they see a brush. But brushing your dog's coat isn't just a great way to keep them in tip-top shape. It's also a vital part of responsible dog ownership.

Routine grooming sessions keep you connected to your dog's overall health, too. They provide you with an opportunity to examine their coat, body, and paws for any problems.

Don't lose hope if your dog wiggles, hides, bites, or runs away at the sight of a brush. There are ways you can make the experience much more positive for you both.

Why Do Dogs Duck When You Pat Them on the Head?

What's the first thing you do when you see a cute dog? Pat them on the head! After all, it's the closest body part within reach and those puppy dog eyes are irresistible. It's also a gesture of fondness for us. But while we might stroke someone's hair or cheek to show them we love them, dogs don't speak the same love language as us. They'd prefer we show our affection in a different way.

Best Dog Leashes for All Dog Sizes

Every dog needs a leash to stay safe and under control on walks. Even if your dog walks perfectly to heel without a leash (which, let's face it, is a rare talent), many areas have leash laws requiring dogs to be kept on leashes on public land. You'll find plenty of different types of dog leashes on offer, and it's important to choose the best one to suit you and your dog.

Study Measuring Canine Intelligence Ranks Smartest Breeds

Many dog owners will say that their dog is the "smartest." In flashes of brilliance, your dog lets you know what time it is because they want dinner and runs to the door for a walk when you pick up their leash. Researchers estimate that dogs are as bright as a 2-year-old human. But how brainy is your dog? Do they score at the top of the smart chart?
