It's Christmas. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't get a reply until after the New Year.

Here's Tucker at 26 weeks.

Thor is the first pup I've had as an adult, too, and I read SO MUCH on this board before bringing our little guy home. I was a bit terrified, but my husband and I are never ones to back down from a...

No one has mentioned what you were doing at the time of the incident. If you were using the leash to keep him off, you were probably tense. Sure you were scared, but think about how people get hurt...

I will be 62.
Had dogs in my life since i was 8 yo
My last three all have been black labs.
Moses is the one I have now and most likely my last dog ( due to my age)
Moses too also had/has these...

I hate to be Debbie downer here, but you're probably in for a lot more rough days before things get better. I had no idea what I got myself into with Molly. She was a holy terror when she was...

I had a very hard time with Easy Walk Harnesses when max was a few months old. Switched to Gentle Leaders as they are much easier to get on a wiggling excited puppy who is about to have a bladder...

Shellbell gave you great advice just waned to add that you also need to keep in mind that recall training has to happen outside of your home as well. Recall is much more difficult to train around...

Great suggestion about the check cord. I want to visit a dog beach out here and need to start working on getting a good recall. My black lab just comes to me when I call her name or say come. My...

A good solid recall is the most important thing.

For example, Hemi went to go play with his sister at their house and we were off leash and having a good time and the dogs started playing chase...

Great to hear you are in a class that you can pull the trainer aside and speak of the best way to handle those tantrums. Hoping you get some good info that you can take home to practice. Wishing...

I feel the same way. So, mine are not allowed to sniff or mark. If I think they need to potty, I try to make it my idea, then find a suitable spot and say, "go potty" as soon as I can. I show my boys...

This all sounds good. I would just introduce everything slowly and positively as it sounds like your pup may have tried something new in the way of fit throwing! Also, I would continue with the...

Maybe the next class, OP can take aside the trainer and bring her concerns up about the tantrums with the harness? Don't know the trainer either or the school in which OP is attending either. ...

Hi, Welcome to the Board.

Look forward to hearing more about Wrigley. And regarding posting pics, you need at least 10 posts, so you can always go to the Introduction section and start...
