Well that's a crappy situation ;)
:) That's what the man said to me, "That's the neatest dog you have there. He came running around the corner, saw us, and just lay down. He's so polite." :)
Folks here have heard me say before...
Never second guess a puppy (or child) that tells you that she has to pee.
At her age, it is expected that she would need to eliminate frequently. If she cries in the night, take her out to potty,...
We take ours to the beach but they don't stay at the beach with us all day. We take them out in the morning before things get too crowded to wear them out some. During the day they would be visiting...
Yes! It is too soon, not from a behavioral standpoint, but from a disease-exposure standpoint. I would be inclined to walk him only in an area that you know there have been no sick dogs. Parvo is...
Mine love the attention and I encourage people to pet. Most of the kids we come across ask first...others, I just tell to approach slowly (so Danny doesn't spook).
Lots of times I'll notice that...

We call it power steering :) Mocha gets excited when he sees the prong collar because he knows he's going somewhere. We're starting to call it his "go collar".
I thought that was part of the breed standard.
Glad it went well!
And her description of walking vs. heeling is exactly what I always do with my dogs. They have until the end of the leash in either direction but are not allowed to pull on it....
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...
Prongs are only cruel if not used correctly. They are to be a training tool. When a dog moves forward the collar gives a correction the dog stops pulling and the collar releases. You are not yanking...
The way a man treats an animal says a lot about the kind of person he is...
I would absolutely remove her from the home...or remove yourself. Labs are family dogs. Having people in the home shun...

Have you really taught your dog to pay attention to you? I think that's the common denominator w/...

Oliver was the "guard" dog for the first week he moved in with us....Obviously.

Oliver just wants to let the neighbors know he is there when I leave for work, in case they were wondering....

Betty tells me I'm not crazy and I love her for it. We welcomed Stella on Wednesday. A 7 month old yellow from a hoarding case in Texas. 3 fosters later by way of Save a Lab, she is...
Why would someone pay huge amounts of money for what is basically a mixed breed, a mutt. Nothing wrong with a mixed breed. If they are that interested in a mixed breed, go to a shelter or rescue...
They Calm Down? There is hope for me yet!!!!
Seriously though since about maybe a year and a half to 2 years Hemi started to relax a little. He no longer needed to bolt out of bed when the alarm...
I learned early on - never run a bath with the door open.

You are a much better and more understanding person than I am to even entertain his nonsense. I would not uproot Moby and send him out on an RV. He needs stability and love. I would not send a new...
