Marvel, You have taken this from my e-newsletter without permission. This was only intended for those on my private e-newsletter list. At the bottom of my ...
I need your opinions please. I need to take Kira to some dog training classes so she has to learn to pay attention to me and not all the other distractions....
We have a 9 month old Rat Terrier who has always tried to be in charge. He has always played rough but after exercise he is much better. We recently adopted a...
Thanks for the suggestions. We do split the kibble in to breakfast and dinner. We feed the breakfast by hand during basic obedience practice, and mix the wet...
Here's a little poem that I thought all you foster parents could relate too, and appreciate. Tammy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...
Congrats on your first "successful mission" Eva!! It's great that you could show leadership to the family. It's too bad that poor dog has to deal with people...
Tammy, That's beautiful -- and it applies to rescues, too. If I weren't at work, I'd be crying right now. Did you write it? Jackie ... From: Tammy Hartwig...
I have been taking Cam to training at PetSmart.....we are just over halfway through the beginner classes so I don't have a LOT of experience with this program,...
Suzi, Congrats!!! Stories like this give others hope!!You are working towards the same goal I am. I just do not run into very many dogs being walked in my...
I think you should use the Illusion collar and just start exposing her to the distractions and correct as necessary. Drive to busier areas and walk the dog...
Well Harriet, You just made my day!! I was picturing the whole thing and thinking that could be me. I'm terrified of wasps, but I don't have Bianca trained to...
I think it would be really funny to take some photos (after you've gone through a few bags of food) of the cut-outs of Cesar in a little pile. We should have a...
If this is like the class we took with our dog, the trainer will tell you to stop walking every time the dog sticks her nose out in front. Just stop. The dog...
No, not OK, the terrier is dominating your other dog and not playing. You need to step in and let your rat terrier know that YOU are in charge and you won't...
Scott, My 2yr old PB, Diesel wears a leather collar all the time. For walking we use the correction collar. Have had no problems with it. Phyllis in Tn Romeo &...
Yes, it is a perfect example of some scholars not playing so nice with others...guess they need more socialization skills. hehe It is not surprising behavior-...
Harriet-wow, I never thought the fact that my dog loves chasing flying bugs (especially ones that buzzz) could save my life someday! After reading your story,...
Oh my gosh Eva, you are a brave woman who jumps in with both feet. I would never take an unfixed male into my pack. My Dango is too dominant a boy. ...
OH Harriet, you are a funny girl. I giggled like a fool through your post. GOOOOOD LUCKY!!!! however I fear I have to warn you, that Lucky will now try to...
I have no experience with Petsmart training, but have heard positive things about it. However, I can encourage you about getting the dog accustomed to traffic...
I allow my dogs to wrestle and play rough with each other, but I do NOT allow a dog to mount another dog. If the play gets too rough and has the potential to...
Howdy, Jennifer, Ruth, Danna, Carlene, and Teresa! Welcome to the list! We're always glad to have new people join us so we have lots more adventures, advice,...
Eva, Excellent. Thanks for letting me know it's possible to take on a challenge and walk away from it a better person. I could always be reminded of that!! ...
Great job!!! Congrats on being a good PL!! Do you think it was an energy change on your part? Juliane YEAH!!! I just have to share .. Today we went to round...
My impression (and it is only opinion) is that Petsmart training is not really set-up to deal with problem dogs. They are much better with non-issues and...
All I can say is...If only there'd been a way to catch this whole thing on film...and put it up on YouTube...with blackouts of course...I can imagine how many...
What a good laugh for my day!! Lucky you had Lucky to step up and save you. Proves that the PL can depend on the pack to step it up when needed, very cool. We...
