A Golden Retriever named Spike is joining us to share his insider dog tips with us this week on The Daily Dog Tip, the Dogster blog that serves up a juicy tidbit of canine information every weekday.

Having Spike on board this week and joining our team of talented pet experts is a real honor, especially since he’s, well, a dog… and these are, well, dog tips… We can’t wait to see what he’s got in store for us this week. Spike’s out of the blocks with two great tips already – you can see them here and here.

Here’s more from Spike, from the Ask Spike page on his site:

Hello! I am Spike, and I write Ask Spike Online. I want to help families understand their pet’s behavior, the psychology behind it, and what they can do to correct unacceptable behavior. This site is driven by your questions and situations. I started writing in 2008, but I have been a dog my whole life, helping my mom communicate to other humans what dogs are thinking, both in-person and online. I base my suggestions on the knowledge I have attained through my experience and the experiences of others in my pack and how it relates to canine psychology. Occasionally, I have to ask Mom for help. Prior to starting this, I spent over seven years as a demonstration dog/teachers assistant for my mom. To ask me your questions, please use the contact form located here.
