Discipline: Drawing the Line
Everyone is talking about "positive reinforcement," but what exactly is it? I explain in this feature article whcih first appeared in Dog World Magazine (I have to say that). Copyright: Peggy Moran, 2001

Predatory Aggression
This is one of the feature articles I did for Dog World Magazine, dealing with a common behavior problem. Chasing behavior, no matter how benignly it manifests, is a carry-over of predatory (hunting) instinct. Sometimes dogs get carried away by this drive and the result can be harm both to themselves and others. If your dog thinks cars are big rabbits, this one is for you. Copyright: Peggy Moran, 2000

When Double Means Trouble!
Coping with canine sibling rivalry is the subject of this feature article which first appeared in Dog World Magazine. Two dogs (or more) can be lots more fun, but they also up the percentages for trouble, especially when they don't get along! Use my scoring system to rate your dogs' potential for intercanine social issues. Copyright: Peggy Moran, 2000

A Beautiful (Canine!) Mind
No, sorry Russell Crowe fans; this is a Dog World column about DOGS! (Although I have to admit this does offer a slightly scary glimpse into how MY mind works!) How do I tie Russell Crowe, a "pet psychic," and dogs together in one column? Read this to see! Copyright: Peggy Moran, 2001

All Wet!
Here is another of my Dog World Magazine "Help the Canine Mind" columns, this one pertaining to trying to get a dog to go off the deep end...of the pier, that is! If you've ever contemplated turning your dog into a "water baby," take a look! Copyright: Peggy Moran, 2002

Get it in Writing!
In this Dog World column a pet owner learns--the hardest way--the importance of ownership "papers." One dog dies, another eventually has her day, and the words "poetic justice" take on new meaning. Be forewarned, this one might make you mad (not at me!)...Copyright: Peggy Moran, 2000
