		<description><![CDATA[ The sense of taste is well developed even in newborn Dalmatian puppies. This has led to the marketing of several commercial substances designed to prevent destructive chewing by pups and mature Dalmatian dogs. If these are used regularly from the age at which conditioned responses are possible (3 weeks), investigative chewing may be minimized [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Many Dalmatians switch themselves to once-a-day feedings between 6 months and 1 1/2 years of age by turning up their noses at either the morning or evening meal. Most people interpret this behavior as a clue that the pet needs only one meal a day. What is probably happening, though, is that the dog [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Most owners of Dalmatians favor castration when they understand the role of testicular androgens in their dog&#8217;s behavior. The fact that secondary sex characteristics are not profoundly affected by castration is reassuring to those who fear it might feminize their Dalmatian dogs. Many are also reassured to learn that the adrenal cortex produces gonadal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ When it comes to Dalmatian&#8217;s behavior based on natural reflexes, there is one subject that is not discussed much. And that subject is the tendency of pet dogs to initiate sexual behavior and/or to respond with sexual arousal or overt sexual behavior to certain physical or social stimulation from the owners.
 Of course we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ A commonly accepted myth among Dalmatian owners is that dogs, especially males, have a fundamental need to spread their urine widely in order to be emotionally well adjusted. As a result, the dog is often taken off its own property, to dutifully sprinkle up, down, and across the street. 
 In addition to methodically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ When your Dalmatian escapes to achieve social interaction in the neighborhood, the owner must establish a very strong leadership role with the dog. This tends to fulfill its need for socializing within the confines of its own home, a step necessary for complete correction. This can be accomplished through basic obedience command responses, practiced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Sexual mounting has been successfully treated in many cases by neutering the offender. However, when the behavior is psychologically ingrained, this may be ineffective. If the dog (male or female) is neutered in an attempt at correction, environmental/behavioral alterations are also advisable. It should go without saying that the owners must not allow or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Dalmatians have not traveled far along the evolutionary road since the time they hunted and killed for food. In fact, some breeds are still selectively bred for their tendency to chase or stalk prey and at least capture, if not kill and/or eat them. Notable among these are the Terriers, Dachshunds, sighthounds and various [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The first licking experienced by a Dalmatian puppy comes from its dam even before the pup&#8217;s eyes are open. Licking is used to groom the pup and, after feeding, to cause urination and defecation. It is doubtful that a young pup consciously considers licking a dominant behavior. However, the act of licking can acquire [...]]]></description>
