All puppies are cute but that has nothing to do with why I love getting a new puppy. I love to figure them out, to watch them learn, to work through issues, to figure out the best methods for the...

Not to mention STUPID... (sorry about the typo)
Dog Refuses To Leave Injured Owner CBS Baltimore
I believe these ordinances are the result of legislators going on a search for a problem to...
i can't stand comments on articles. it makes me sad for humanity. the hate, the anger, the lack of understanding of the issue, the discrimination...
For her first couple of years, we took Kimber to a local, unofficial dog park, every single day. She loved playing with the other dogs so much, and at about 9 months her absolutely very favorite...
ok so my two cents: no two rescues are the same. so unfortunately you would need to really chat with fosters and the rescue itself to see how THEY do things. I don't think there is any one that is...
Being a chef, I handle a lot of fish. I've found that lemon juice will do a pretty good job of taking fish stink off your hands.
Have you considered using latex gloves when using these...
Maybe try dishwashing soap, like Dawn, on a washcloth or dishcloth to add some good friction to good soap to help get the oils off your skin. I heard someone recently talking about how the key to...
Just Google "Dog Shaping". You'll get a lot of good information!
I've never heard of it but I followed your link and, WOW, very impressive line-up of people they've got there. I went out just last Friday to search for Nina Ottoson games and here she is on board...
I like shaping too.
Hemi is the master of Shaping. It is one of the badges from Dog Scout he has, The Art of Shaping.
He learned how to Paint....
At 8 months, I am surprised that you are still gating him when you are home. I understand that you need him out of the way when you're mopping the floor or something and you may not want him loose...
Whoops! I just emptied it. :)
So much fun!
Linus takes the empty TP roll off the holder (it's a c-shaped holder - so open on one side) and I'm thinking of teaching him how to put a full roll back on. I also like teaching touch...
the light pollution is so noticeable now. growing up, so easy to see more constellations.
I was blissfully happy when I went to that WC trial 2 weekends ago - parked the camper, took Scout out into...
During my time in Texas I backpacked and camped at several state parks in the Hill Country. One moonlit winter night I soloed at Enchanted Rock without a tent, sleeping in the open. It was cold. So...
A lot of people use the chin method but it's clicked and trained not held. They call it a chin touch. Holding the chin without this method could freak some dogs out. I didn't do it this way but...
No, you won't. As long as you are taught to do it correctly and start with the hold. My dog was the same and now he can hold the dumbbell and wait in a sit, hold it in a heel, back-up with it, finish...
Not uncommon at all! There are some ring nerves classes and I've heard of people being helped by hypnotherapy.
One thing I've found helpful is to do run throughs with my perfect dog (i.e., a...
A bit over a year ago, when I was with a different trainer, we started working on the drop on recall. The way the trainer had us teach it was, when we called our dog (formal recall) we should then...
I'd recommend following Denise Fenzi's blog and Facebook. She is really down to earth and active online and super helpful. She also shows mistakes (bad handling, errors, things she wished she'd done...
Thought you all might find this useful! I have a hyper greeter (or two) myself and will be trying it on my dogs. I saw this at a recent seminar (also with a Golden) and it worked really well. The...
I am not new but I have been MIA for many many months. Gosh I don't even remember when my last post was. December maybe? Anyways, I come on and lurk from time to time to get the news, and Dodger is...
I’ve been working stuff with them at home, but our center isn’t having any competition puppy classes at the moment (they only offer when there are enough people with puppies and we just missed one),...
I've also found that when people live on courts or quiet streets, they think it is fine to just let their dog right out the front door when the dog has no recall and does not know to stay in the...
BTW Royal Canin is fine. So is Pro Plan.
