This is a GREAT video to show how ticks are always just hanging out waiting to latch onto your pooch or cat. Remember that Ticks DO NOT JUMP. Only fleas jump. So ticks just climb to the top of grass or other brush and wait for you or your pup to walk by.

I cannot emphasize how important it is to understand this ladder of aggression and here is why. If you constantly ignore the early signs on the ladder and push a dog past it, the next time the dog will start at the rung that got the result. For example. If you push a dog past the stiffens and growls rungs to where a snap is the only thing that gets you to move away or remove the threat, then the next time the dog perceives a threat, they are not going to start back on the lowest rung. They are going to go right to snapping at you or whomever is making the threat. Then the dog is automatically labeled as vicious or aggressive, when actually the fault is not the dogs but YOURS!!! Please work to understand basic signs of potential behavioral escalation in dogs (I actually like that term better than Ladder of Aggression). The life you save may be theirs!!!
