Jake is usually off leash most places we go (where it is allowed) but he knows he has to stay at close to my side. I would walk him in our yard and shake my left hand at my side and tell him to...

hair up means arousal. doesn't mean aggression, but means she is worked up. arousal can be due to exitement or anxiety it depends on the dog and situation.
how much socialisatino has she had...
One question. How is her obedience *REALLY*? I've had 6mo pups off lead. However, it was a trained thing/ circumstance.
My search and rescue dog is trained to basically live off leash under full control. I never just decide that one day, I'm going to trust the dog and let them off leash. With all the dogs I work with,...
Yes, I think we agree. I'm just so very anal about it. But the point is that it is not something to be done lightly and you want to be as recall trust-worthy as possible and pick the venue very...
Mine are e-collar and whistle trained and they have parks not dog parks the run off leash at all the time. They know how far they are allowed to get from me I have no problems at all. I have taught...
Maverick just turned 1 in April. He has gone thru 6 puppy classes and he just started agility. It took until he was a year for me to even want to see what would happen. We take him to public parks in...
The only place I let mine off leash is at our country property, they know the area and their boundaries, and it is far away from the road.
While I understand being safe, and my dogs mean the world to me, I would rather carefully take some risks to allow them to run, jump, swim, play, and explore in the great outdoors, at the beach, etc....
This may sound strange coming from me or any field person, because... what do we do? We take all the collars and leashes off our dogs and send them out to retrieve game birds on wide expanses of...
Great advice from Labradorks. I would never try it without proofing, many time, in as many ways as possible but never where she can dart on to a road and be hit. Although I trust both of my dogs...
I'm assuming you mean walks like nature trails and stuff, not as in a sidewalk?
I think the first this is being smart about it, just common sense stuff. For example, if you are getting close to...
I really doubt she's going to run away but you have doubts, my experience is they'll get to sniffing something 15 feet away and may not come when called, try letting go of the leash, it's a heck of a...
How is her recall around the house? In the yard? In the yard with distractions? I am definitely conservative and a little bit of a scaredy cat about off-leash activities, so I would be inclined to...

Rocky has been eating Iams puppy but am switching to Orijen puppy in a couple weeks.
Tried the greek yogurt thing, he doesn't like it, likes oatmeal though.2782
Sort of true. After the water is removed the named meat will fall much lower on the ingredient list. A named meat meal will stay high. An unidentified source for a meal is to be avoided. Try...
Hello and welcome to you and your girl.
I haven't frozen a stuffed kong but that sounds like a nice idea.
Our crew stays occupied with pieces of chicken jerky stuffed in the kong. It will take them...
Howdy and welcome!!!
What are her regular go-to toys? Is there a selection that is always out and she keeps herself occupied with? Are there some you rotate through, and hide for a few weeks to...
Thanks so much! It was making me anxious
Look for the toys that are combo chewtoy/hide a treat (like kongs). I've found some that he has to work a bit to extract the treat and they'll keep him (and us) entertained for a long time!
