I'm an avid fan of the Dog Whisperer and have used his dog psychology techniques on both my dogs. There was an episode of a woman and daughter who faced eviction from their apartment because of their small dog. He was able to help them remain in their apartment AND have a happy, quiet dog. The neighbors thought the woman got rid of their dog and were shocked to see him running around. They also took their dog for a jog while riding their bikes 30-min/day, which tired him out. I try to take my dogs for a 45-minute walk 4 times/week that way when we leave, it makes sense for them to stay behind because their tuckered out.
