Fitting the prong collar. I prefer the small links, goes on easier and seem to get a closer fit on the dog. You can add or remove links as needed. If you look...
Hi, Bob, Thanks for a cautionary note about vet schools. Since we had a wonderful experience at Cornell I want to let you know about it, but do not know how...
Hi Peggy I was doing great for a couple of days with the bone. Yesterday I came home from work and I was putting my clotes away in my room. My new husband of...
Bob, your comment about dogs learning to work for approval rather than treats is really interesting to me. I've had many more cats than dogs in my life and...
That is too funny! I'm envisioning all my stuffed animals with bruises on them from my going "BAD pink bunny!" (Bam! Whomp!) "BAAAAD yellow lamb!" (Crash! Thud...

I am leaving whole post in contexst.. I know this will sound blunt but it is only my opinion. It sounds like you are BLAMING the wrong party. The dog bit not...
Of course your dog had a reason, but that doesn't make it acceptable. Sounds like SHE is the pack leader. If you don't change that, there will be more...
Left whole post for context. Marcia.. one other thing I did not mean it to sound like you are to blame... just that you have done a lot for the dog......
Virtually all dogs who work for a living...sled, drug, bomb, trackers, dogs for the blind, hunting dogs, sheep dogs, etc., all do it for the joy of work and...

I think Canidae is one of the best foods out there for your buck. It costs 30 bucks for a 40 lb bag that lasts me a month. Not so bad. And if you just stick...
The problem here is the dog for she bit both you and your husband. You speak about fear...How about when the dog bites you again or maybe a bit harder for...
If this has already been on the list, I apologize for the repeat. I must admit that I don't read every post. CM has a smallish feature in the December National...
HI Bob I agree with you about dogs needing jobs. Most dogs are so incredibly bored and under-exersized that its no wonder they develop bad habits and obnoxious...
Cheryl, I learned a few things about seperation anxiety the last few years and I don't think medication is the answer. We had the same problem with our two...
This is about Marcy who's dog bit her husband who then threatened to kill the dog if she ever did that again. I sure hope your husband changed his mind when he...
My dog has sep/anx as well... she's shredded her bed and actually broken through the crate, 2 windows, and the front door (she tore it apart). I've been in...
HI there Have you read the best selling book "Marly and Me". by John Grogan. He had a lab that had seperation anxiety worst than your dog. It is the story of...
No offence but I LOVE dogs and I would proably have reacted the same way if bit with blood drawn. AND NO NOT ALL DOGS are rehabbable... Cesar has even dealt...
