Care and Training of Puppies and Dogs

A.J. Tyne has been helping people solve their pets' behavior problems for about thirty years, working with cats as well as dogs.

The name stuck.

    Wow, I didn't know you could get dogs to go potty in a potty! I'm going to have to try that...but probably will have to wait for the next puppy. My Gracie is a little too old to change her ways. Great lens.

    AJ, I have an elderly spayed pug who I adore. She had trouble years ago with bladder stones for a while, and we had her on special food to help keep her from forming them. She will be 12 years old this February, and seems to be healthier than ever. So, no complaints, just glad to see you on squidoo. I love this lens, and it really caught my eye with the "bad" little pug photo.
