Comments on: One Question Interview with Andrea Arden http://jennaandsnickers.com/2009/05/killing-with-kindness-andrea-arden/ Jenna & Snickers Promote Humane Education and Responsible Dog Ownership Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:20:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Mongoose http://jennaandsnickers.com/2009/05/killing-with-kindness-andrea-arden/comment-page-1/#comment-476 Mongoose Tue, 12 May 2009 18:22:00 +0000 http://jennaandsnickers.com/?p=466#comment-476 I agree with all these answers. What I would teach is: walk your dog. And I'm not saying that just because Cesar Millan told me to. Dogs love to walk, and it makes everything else so much easier. I walk my shiba three times 45 minutes every day, one on leash and two off leash. Now she actually comes when called and doesn't fight with other dogs. It's not JUST the walking, I'm also a good top dog, but her breeder can't believe it's the same dog she gave me four years ago. Where I live, almost no one walks dogs, and then they wonder why they have behavioural problems and fat dogs. I've seen some of the other shibas in my town, they're so obese they don't even trot anymore, they walk and they wheeze. It's awful. Anyway, thanks for stopping by my blog. :) I agree with all these answers. What I would teach is: walk your dog. And I’m not saying that just because Cesar Millan told me to.

That was the answer to ONE question??!! You wrote a book! Wait a minute, you have written several books. I am not a big fan of over trained dogs. Or overtrained humans either; although I do understand where Andrea is coming from. Dogs are dogs are dogs are dogs. Let them roll in the mud. But no trained seals. OMG, Andrea!

Its important that we provide our dogs with structure and rules to prevent anxiety and in some cases depression. I'd also like to add that there are many people killing their dogs with kindness by overfeeding them with "people" food. Obese dogs have the same health issues as obese people and its so easy not to let them get like that in the first place.
