Colleen's recent article on Dogtime.com. Embrace your dog - just not literally

I KNOW this is a really hard one for everyone to swallow.
Please join dogtime.com and check in every Monday. Colleen will have a featured dog body language section dedicated to teaching people to speak Dog by understanding body langauge basics.
Let's reduce the 4.5 million dog bites per year!
Dog bites NEVER happen out of the blue. Dogs tell us long before they are going to bite us. We just don't hear them!
If you love your dog - you wil take the time to learn what he's trying to tell you!
