    Both dogs are microchipped, but their collars stay on any time we aren't in the house. They have their city licenses and their name tags which they need incase they wander off. Harbour doesn't go...

    It's really hard to control it because the little one is the instigator. He WANTS to play, and I can't just not let them play. I do split them up if they get too rowdy, but for the most part they...

    I was more hesitant when I thought it was going to be like 5-6 months per hip, but now that I know it's only going to be 2, I am definitely going with surgery, as long as she's a candidate. Which she...

    She doesn't have any bad habits with retrieving, she never takes things without them being given to her, and will simply stand there and hold it until you tell her to go play. If something is thrown...

    She loooooooooves birds. No interest in squirrels or rodents or cats or anything. But birds are like heroin for her. She loves sniffing them out, and she LOVES going out into the pond after the...

    I adopted a sharpei mix back in February, they are the same size and they play the exact same way. I'm not overly worried about when they play because they are the same size, I'm more worried for...

    Is 2 too late to start bird training?

    A good friend of mine is really in to bird hunting, but his dog has absolutely no interest in the sport. My lab has always been great at retrieving things, and listens extremely well. She has a very...

    And also, if they are playing in the backyard, or out at camp, they have to keep their collars on for safety reasons, as they have their ID tags.
  10. My dogs don't wear collars inside the house...

    My dogs don't wear collars inside the house anymore either, but she will still grab a chunk of skin from the neck area and twist and throw and drag him around.
    She isn't being aggressive, and is...

    I suppose condescending was the word I was looking for, not rude. When she stated that I probably didn't even bother to read the article. That's what I was referring to, it was very much unnecessary.
  12. Cute puppy play has now turned potentially dangerous?

    So my girl will be 2 in a month, and ever since she was little, she has LOVED to play and wrestle with other dogs.

    My parents have a beagle, and when they were the same size, their wrestling was...

    There's no need for rudeness. I did read the article actually, but it doesn't state anything regarding injuries, simply that the gait is altered when the dog is wearing the harness. It states that...

    As long as the harness is properly fitted then it is fine. Any walking device can cause injury (including a flat collar), it all depends on how it is used.
    Obviously if your harness it too big or...

    I used an easy-walk harness(the ones that have the clip at the front) with my pup, it worked amazingly well, and I prefer not to use collars for walking. Now that she is trained we just use an...

    Early-onset refers to the display of symptoms, not the condition :) Many dogs with dysplastic hips only begin to show symptoms as they age. Early-onset means that the dog shows symptoms before the...

    Can you say besties?

    My girls, Emmi the sharpei mix and Harbour the lab. I love them to bits, and they love eachother! They are never more than a few feet away from eachother; they clean eachother's ears, share their...

    I find this method highly ineffective, as continuously backing away makes the dog think you are playing, and can increase the frustration they have in wanting to greet you.

    That's a good idea, I will have to give that a try, she does listen well when she's in her right mind, but when she gets excited it all goes out the window. I will have to find a way to distract her,...

    You make a very good point. I am not the kind of person who refuses to say "no" to my dog, or only uses positive reinforcement, as I personally don't feel that it works.
    My dog is amazing, and aside...

    Treats don't work with her unfortunately, she has no interest in them.

    Still can't curb the jumping up!

    So my lab mix Harbour is almost 2 years old, she is by far one of the best dogs I have ever owned.
    She is 99.9% perfect, except that she jumps on strangers.
