answered a question Why does my dog dig holes?

Lots of reasons (and may depend on the breed)! It's typically thought that dogs dig for shelter or protection for themselves or items of value (toys, food, prey).

answered a question Why does my dog lick her feet?

If you live in a snowy area where road salt is used, she may very likely lick her paws simply because they have traces of road salt (which may be both tasty and abrasive to the paws).

answered a question How can I stop my dog from barking at the neighbor's dog?

Zap collars can be helpful when other more mild methods of training don't succeed. Many of these collars come with a warning feature as well, that dogs tend to learn quickly, where just a noise or vibration can signal them to stop the behavior.
