From Dr. Bernadine Cruz: "One of the most common reasons why dogs are relinquished to an animal shelter is unacceptable behavior and those can be the lucky ones.   Too many dogs are banished from the home to the back yard, never to enjoy the company of the people who had hoped that they had found that perfect addition to the family.   Others are dumped along a roadway to fend for themselves.  And then there are those who are abused and die a horrid death.  

What can we do as dog caregivers to insure that our pets are well mannered? How do we know if a behavioral issue has a psychological or medical basis? Do dogs need a psychiatrist or do we need one to even consider such a question? Is there doggie Prozac? My guest today is Dr. Stefanie Schwartz. Dr. Schwartz is a board certified veterinary behaviorist will answer some of the most common questions pertaining to achieving outstanding canine comportment."

Warm regards and please keep your pets safe!
