Reply With QuoteDo NOT hold onto the leash when Gabe sees a squirrel on the neighbors fence. He is only 55 pounds, but he sure does have a high prey drive and that overpowers any weight or muscle I have. I always end up on the ground, or worse!!!!

Was out in the back yard with Archie yesterday evening and started pulling a few weeds. It had rained and the ground was soft, great for pulling. Instead of moving forward, I moved backward right into a pile of poo. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Archie thought it was fun, came over and was licking me, making me laugh and getting me more into the poo when I went from a squatting position to a sitting position, right in the poo.
What are your experiences with things not to do?

Oh no! So gross. At least there was cause to laugh!
We've learned with our new GSP puppy never to leave anything on the counter, even if you think he can't reach it, because he can. And will. : )
My dogs over time would learn words like "Dinner", "Ice Cream" (Frosty Paw), "Walk", ...so we would end up spelling out words to avoid getting them worked up. When you slip though and say the word...that's something not to do as the 80lb labs are suddenly in your lap looking for the end result

Never start laughing while the dog is licking your face -- there's nothing like being "frenched" by a dog!

YUP - I have a harness on Charlie because of this. He is a pretty good loose leash walking... so we were walking one day when he was only about 55 lbs (68 now), and he chased a squirrel and it felt like he pulled my should out of its socket. Another time, If fell.
Never go to the ice dispenser and not expect someone else to be right under your feet. Murphy LOVES ice cubes so much that I need to open the freezer and take out one cube at a time quietly.
Also, he's learned the word "bologna". That's his favorite treat and we've learned to never use it in conversation. He runs over to the fridge and stares you down until you give him a bite!
