Dog Behavior
Dogs are unable to talk just like we do, but we can still understand their feelings by observing their behavior and body language. It is compulsory that an owner is aware of his dog's body language, as it will not only strengthen their bond, but will also prevent tragic results where the owner is forced to abandon his dog due to behavior problems. In this category, there are questions relating to the different body languages of dogs, their behavior, etc.

What do dogs not like to smell?
Dogs like most smells; they shy away from smells that they perceive as dangerous or unnatural (e.g. alcohol, solvents, etc.), and most dogs will shy away from the smell of their own feces. Anything that a dog sniffs and immediately moves away from should be regarded as toxic or poisonous to the dog and should not be used to train the dog.
In terms of using unpleasant smells as a part of dog training, e.g. in a spray bottle, it's important to use safe products that, while unpleasant to the dog, will not harm the dog. One common product is Bitter Apple, for instance. Some dog trainers will use diluted vinegar as well.
What is the best way to stop your dogs from peeing in the house when you are asleep?

Why would a dog howl for no reason?
There are lots of different reasons. Some because they are hungry or have infections. And others because they think they hear something or maybe they are lonely or something. We have a poodle and when we make howling noises at her she does it back and if we interrupt her while she is howling, She does it even louder and she does it longer. And we also have a beagle that we go off of the road a couple of days ago and he howls an awful lot and I think the reason he howls is because it is his nature to howl. All he does is howl and sleep so maybe it's because he was just born to howl.

Are you supposed to smile to a dog?
you can not teach your dog to smile only certain breeds can smile
ANSWER:
Actually, all dogs smile when they are happy. A dog smile consists of an open mouth, often with tongue hanging out, and lips stretched back to show some of the teeth. You don't need to "teach" this. Keep your dog happy and it will just happen on its own.
Why does your puppy tug on your clothes?
Puppies like to tug on clothes because of a few things actually. First, because they want to play with you and they think that if they tug on the clothes that you're wearing, you'll stop what you're doing and play with them. Second, because they are most likely teething (if they're still fairly young) and it feels good on their gums. Lastly, because if you are doing something and they feel like you're ignoring them, they would want attention. The pulling on your clothes for that one is sort of a, "Hey! Remember me down here? Yeah, I want you to pay attention to ME!" Either way, as long as you calmly discipline them if they are doing something you don't want them to, they will outgrow it when they are adults. But remember, puppies are very playful, when you play with them for a while, they'll be pretty tired and leave you alone for a while.
