The vet needs to initial your claim form.
I usually have the vet fax all of the info and my clai form for me. Once or maybe twice, I did email it, and it took longer for reimbursement. Not sure if that's typical or not, but I wanted to throw...
I adopted my lab when he was exactly 9 months old. I usually feel insanely lucky when I read about other dogs' 9 month old antics.
However, we adopted him on a rainy day, then drove him to...
Isn't that scary though with the leave it exercise? I thought the point of that requirement was to make sure the dog wouldn't pick anything harmful up that the handler might not notice, like a...
Welcome back! I remember you were around when I had joined the board the first time. I think you had a black and white photo for your avatar... I can't really remember it, but I rememer that I used...
One of our two dogs is a pitbull mix, and we've fostered several pitbulls. Obviously we think pitbulls are completely wonderful. If I compare the number of aggressive lab mixes I've met vs the number...
Thanks Jen! I was going to say SPARRO too, and also see if Brookline Labrador Retriever Rescue covers that area. Brookline Labrador Retriever Rescue
Are we allowed to post names of rescues? Or is that a no no like posting breeders?
I use "Off" as my command for my dogs to not jump. My pitbull almost never ever jumps on anyone. My lab though, as soon as he get's that certain twinkle in his eye, I say off, and it usually prevents...
Growing up, my family was always a 1 dog at a time kind of family. When I moved out on my own, the first thing I wanted to do was get a dog. My boyfriend wanted a GSP, but I didn't think that with...
:( I wouldn't want to medicate like that either unless there was no other way.
Here's hoping the derm vet might have a fresh perspective and either have other options, or identify an easily fixed...
I'm sorry that so much is not going your way :( I hope that everything resolves soon, and I'll cross my fingers that you win another lottery when you're able to have the light and space to do it.
I would volunteer to snuggle up with the pups for movie night :) That sounds sweet.
How do dogs do movie night?
I once worked a job with a lot of people who I really didn't care for. It was a physician's office environment where the people I worked with would make completely unethical decisions and then brag...
I think I'm going to send our friend who watches our dogs an extra out of the blue thank you. We've only had to leave them on short notice, like unexpected out of town family emergency type trips,...
I don't get what's adverse about the phrase. Common only means that it happens often. Of course kidney stones are a common condition. It doesn't mean normal, it doesn't mean they aren't painful. I...
You probably already have done this, but I'll puf it out there anyway. If I were in need of someone to take care of my dogs, I would definitely ask the friends I've made through training.
How are...
I've found that I'm currently torn.
I foster for my county's shelter, and have done so for years. I thoroughly enjoy fostering. I like meeting different dogs. I like to see changes, and...
I think that to start, I would also look for a positive based trainer. In fact, my only regret with my lab who I adopted when he was 9 months old is that I didn't start with positive reinforcement...
If I could change anything that I did with my lab, it would be that I would have tried a training class that didn't use training collars to teach the dogs before using training collars on my dog. In...
I guess I must be the only different one, go figure. I find it hard to find a dog who isn't food motivated. Both of my dogs, and every single one of the dogs that I've fostered have eagerly worked...
Aw! It looks good... just like what you described that you wanted! Great job by both of you 😊
I used the word "switch" just because it's short and quick to say. I did the same thing to teach, lured with a treat behind my back, and ditched the leash until he understood what I wanted. I don't...
