Don't feel awful. Plenty of people get their dogs from situations that are not ideal and love them just as much as any other dog. You're not hosed, you didn't throw the money down the toilet. You...

I like the article. I don't like anthropomorphizing either, but I see it more as pointing out the hypocrisy in how we think about experiences, teaching, etc.
All dog sports are ultimately human...
I uploaded too many photos I hope there won't be any problems :/
So, you just need a praise. Be it food or toy. I use food for my older dog, and toys for the little one.

Anytime a new foster arrives I treat them like a brand new, untrained puppy. They get limit freedom in the house (sometimes I tether even), frequent trips outside (supervised, reward when they pee,...
This made me laugh. I'll be happy of I get them all potty trained. I thought potty training one was enough now I'm going to have 3.
I am so sorry this happened, what crummy experience for a little dude.
it's possibly she was shocked and embarrased adn not thinking so left. we all react different to stress. It doesnt' make...
I don't know about the science part (literally, I have no clue) but I do agree with the rest of this article. Thought you'd all find it interesting.
He's only nine months old. I think you are placing too many expectations on him for a dog this age. Plus this is a terrible Lab stage!
Training is a life-long process. You can't train a puppy and...
Actually no, dogs don't feel guilt. What you're describing is their anticipation of you being mad. She can see it in your body posture, the tone of voice, plus of course the memory of what happens....
Cesar Millan Fails German Dog Training Test
Sorry if this has already been posted. Thought it was an interesting story!
I got both of them to bow tho not with just a hand signal yet.
haha we have been working on peek-a-boo we call it (send her to my back then she pops up between my legs) so that's done. but she isn' too sure about putting her feet on mine so we can work on that....
Ok, Bacon is up for the challenge!
For those who are having trouble with pup going into a down instead of a bow, timing is the most critical aspect. When I lured Bobby into a bow, I would move the treat inward (towards him), pushing...
She needs to figure out what motivates her dog. Some things that work for others are Frisbee, ball, tug toy (I personally won't use due to doing field work). Boxers can be tough to motivate, esp...
Hemi brought me his toy guitar. He plays piano and guitar, and when he finished he bowed after his performance;-)

That was a long, long process. I selected baby names from all over the web really put them in a spreadsheet and started narrowing them down. I mean some were easy to get cut out of the list. However...
Shelby's puppies were born yesterday - we have 6 puppies - chocolate boy, black boy & 4 black girls :) I don't think we'll keep any of the girls as we wanted a chocolate one...unless I fell in love...
Nosework! You can use anything: shoes/boxes/tupperware containers/etc. Hide treats and have him find them, you can hide them behind furniture, anywhere. If he gets really good at that and you...
I wouldn't go that far... Pitbulls are a fantastic breed.
So many of you remember my sister and her loss of Captain Jack Sparrow 2 and a half years ago. Then her son's dog Justice passed from old age last year. Which left just Hemi's uncle mac at her house....
