Be Kind

What you're doing: Joking or taunting.
Doggie interpretation: Sit and I'll be rewarded.
Translation: Keep away is only fun for those with the toy or snack, not to the one without. It may be cute to see a pet sit when he sees you about to eat a (human) snack, but don't tease him with an "aww, you want this don't you?" 'cause that's just mean.

Great article, great photos. These seem to be helpful tips for any human, but especially for new pet-owners who may not realize the effects that their actions/reactions may have on their furry companions. Thanks for sharing!
