Fun! Most people end up crating their dogs while other dogs are running because it's common for the waiting dogs to freak out. Just depends on the dog!

Watch for foxtails!
I know where you got your dog and would say that this is unlike those lines. I would reach out to the breeder, have the dog vet checked (pain, thyroid, etc.), then visit with a certified veterinary...
I left my previous vet for somewhat aggressively harassing me about neutering early and all but accusing me of being an irresponsible dog owner.
Every morning I'm greeted with a slipper in my face. Presto is a little obsessed with fetching ALL THE THINGS, but I think he'll grow out of it.
Does she seem confused? If not, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Non-protective. But I do appreciate my barker when someone comes to the house.
I finally admitted to myself today that Lab Nationals down in CA is probably not in the cards for us this year. I am incredibly bummed, too.
Since my dogs took me out on 7/5 and dislocated my...
Awwww! It sucks to be down and out. This too, shall pass.
Baby puppies tend to play alone a bit more than older puppies and adult dogs. I think it's normal depending on the dog. My friend's boxers tend to play alone, but she also has only dogs and is gone...
Oh no. I'm so sorry. I feel your pain! It sucks. You're lucky you have someone around to help out, but man, does it just mess with your life to be down and out like that. I am only on six weeks with...
Suzanne Clothier's CCC class was so great for Presto's impulse control! You should see if someone in your area is offering it.
Common here, too. I stick to rivers in the summer, but even then, I check because of sewage spills.
Call your local wildlife agency or possibly pest control. I mean, you could relocate them, but they'd probably get eaten by a hawk, fox, owl, etc. It is often more humane to dispatch them yourself in...
We call those Spicy Sky Raisins in my house (flies are just plain Sky Raisins) and the reason why I took all plants and pushes that attract them out of the back yard (unless the flowers are up high...
Oh yes. Chapter 1: How to unpack a suitcase; Chapter 2: How to properly harass a cat; Chapter 3: Toilets 101... LOL!
We went back up to Janice Gunn's place new Vancouver BC for her annual obedience camp. This year, I took Presto. I was going to take both performance dogs, but with my messed up knee I decided taking...
When I go I stick to the lakes and trails with my dogs!
Sounds overtired or over-faced by something? Hard to tell. You could try more mental exercise (nose work would be a good one to try) and see if that helps. You are also getting into adolescence right...
If you have a dog walker, he or she can feed the puppy lunch. I have a dog walker and my youngster (one year) gets a Kong at lunch. He gets one when I leave for work, too ("second breakfast"). I also...
I teach mine how they can earn what they want most. So I've never had a counter surfer. Not even Presto, who is a little nut. He once put his paw up there to see what I was doing, I told him leave...
What do you expect puppy buyers to do? We are all on a quest -- I would hope -- to get the healthiest dog we can. There are many unknowns in breeding. And, each breeder has their own way of doing...
"Good breeders" is relative.
I was responding to a conversation about cancer, so yes, if you take what I wrote out of context, it was confusing.
I do not know at what age those dogs die from cancer and how that is included...
That's "forced" exercise, like on leash. Off leash, on soft ground (vs. sidewalks) is better.
