Dogs have earned a reputation for being “man’s best friend.” If you have experienced the joys of having a dog in your life, then you no doubt understand why! For over 30,000 years, humans and canines worked together to develop a special relationship. In fact, archaeologists have discovered ancient cave drawings which depict this human-animal bond on practically every corner of the earth. From the pyramids of Egypt to the rock sites of Saudi Arabia to ink paintings in imperial China, the dog has been a loyal friend to mankind. Different breeds served different purposes. Livestock herding, personal protection, hunting retrievers, vermin chasers…the list goes on and on.

Of course, times have changed. Nowadays, dogs are mostly companions. Fido isn’t off chasing wild board anymore. Or guarding the doors to a palace. Instead, our pets enjoy a life of leisure napping on soft beds in airconditioned homes.

Yet, their lives have changed in some ways. With the pandemic uprooting all sense of normalcy, it’s important to consider the effect that this has had on our dogs. For example, behavioral issues have soared. Across the globe, routines have been disrupted. There are less opportunities to socialize. Training has also been interrupted or put on hold. In short, our pup’s worlds were totally turned upside down!
Unfortunately, behavioral issues are the #1 reason why dogs end up in shelters. According to the ASPCA approximately 3.1 million dogs are surrendered or placed in U.S. animal shelters every year. Even more worrisome? Thousands never get adopted.

But there is good news!

We can quite literally save the life of a dog with proper training and care. We simply must learn to listen to our dogs, communicate effectively, correct bad behaviors, and respond appropriately. With a little love and lots of patience, almost all issues can be overcome.

Remember…there is no such thing as a bad dog. Only a dog who needs help.
That is why Pet Candy created this amazing resource for pet parents everywhere. We want to give you the tools to recognize warning signs for dog behavior problems, suggest what to do, who to see, and ultimately where to get help. This book will also guide readers on how to set a puppy up for success early on to stop future behavior issues from forming in the first place.

A special thank you to Reconcile® tablets for dogs for powering this book. We hope I helps keep pets out of the shelters and in their forever homes.

So, find your dog, grab some treats, and we will see you in Chapter 1: How Dogs Love!
