we sit a 4mo old english lab. He is already very strong and goes all over the place on a walk. I used a choke chain but it kept slipping down. so the other day...
I gave up walking a dog (I pet-sit) 6 days a week for this reason, that i had to take my dogs out again separate. I could walk this dog with my dogs, but my...
I agree with this information but I wonder why it says not to spay or neuter a frustrated, nervous, tense, aggressive, or anxious dog?? Most male dogs here in...
What a wonderful story Uni! And so good to teach people along the way. I was on a short holiday in Germany together with my husband and my 5 months old...
Hi all, How should I correct my 7 month old lab mix after she has "stolen" socks or shoes. She even takes kleenex out of the waste basket and tears them to...
Eva I sympathize with you. I know how much you want to help every dog that you pet sit (me to) but some dogs just need more work than one or two weeks with you...
If you don't catch the dog in the act, it's a waste of energy to discipline after. Dogs associate the "correction" with what they are doing at the exact moment...
HI Cindy Thank you for that. I have never had those terms explained in comparison to each other. It is very clear now. This post is a keeper. I will save it in...
Hi This may sound crazy but it has worked for me thru years of pups and for my clients.... Once you take the item away from your pup slap the item hard on the ...
Dawn, if you look back through the messages I wrote a couple of games you can play to teach a dog to give you things that are yours. I believe it started under...
Hi Meg I'm assuming you live in the country in a farm like atomsphere. If not my idea will probably not work. Some dogs interact well with Large Field...
Hello, I also put the leash on my wrist and wrap part of it around my hand , I do this on Edward's leash as he's a pup and won't walk as good as Bianca, as she...
I second the good job Uni did in posting this information. Alot of people don't understand the concept of operant condition. Mostly because the terms confusing...
OK I spoke to soon!!!! My dogs DID destroy these toys this morning !!! Took about five mins. of chewing and they were gone!!! Oh, well the hunt continues...
Hello All, Well we got Edward back last night and he's wearing one those funnel collars, so he won't go after his stitches. He was so pathetic looking but I...
My vet usually says put any dog on puppy food for 2 wks post surgery to help with extra nutrition post-surgery. My thought is "change their food in addition...
Funny you said that, Gaye. I had a friend who used to put duct tape on countertops to deter countersurfing. I think I've mentioned that before. I was hesitant...
Hi Lori I would try holding the leash the way I explained it. Take the loop put over your right thumb so it rests in the crease of your thumb and index finer,...
Hi Kathleen I don't remember what breed and age Edward is so my comments are based on my experience and the advice of my vet.. I've never heard of switching...
Hi Tiffany, Your story is an awesome reminder that we can create problems when we have a goal in mind such as "Today we are going to walk two miles," or "We're...
We weaned our Labs to adult food at 4 months. The breeder explained to us that it slows there rate of growth and that helps will joint development. I am sure...
I agree with Lori! Many corrections are needed as the puppy would receive them from his mother. I had a 3 week old puppy that was turned into my rescue, and...
Terri K. Duct Tape..good idea !!! I never heard of that one beats buying scat mats or having to be a secret agent to keep a constant eye on the dog. The...

Jacki and Uni, Those posts were so beautifully written! Your descriptions of Cesar's methods and comparisons to operant conditioning were wonderful. Thank you...
If I didn't have dogs .. I'd never hear my husband yell "Get your D#$% dogs" If I didn't have dogs I'd never hear my husband say "No you can't get another...
Hi Dawn, There are many aspects to this problem I feel that could be the pivotal point in coming to acceptable a resolution concerning this issue. When you...
I came across this on MySpace, "K-9 Timothy" has a blog that contains some very informative entries (found him on Scott's MySpace page). Here is a link to "An...
I am having a problem with my 9 year old mix breed female dog named Nellie. I have recently found Cesar Milan's method and I've watched his show and listen to...
