5)Taking him out once an our until he potties outside--BIG praises during the act--15 minutes later he potties AGAIN in the house! Do you also use treats?...
Retrievers fetch (retrieve). Most Pitty's don't. Some shepards will. It's partly in the genes and partly in how you train them. My Lab Pit mix retrieved....
Lori, I hope that this works out well for Dango -- and for you! Seeing Eve with her "puppy-kitten" was priceless -- and now that Yin Yang is four years old...
IF he were my dog I would start by keeping him in an areal close to where the action is but in an exercise pen. All with rubber matting under it. Part with a...
Hi Gaye, Sure thing. The theory behind the correction (vs. the "acting silly" distraction) is whatever behavior the dog is currently doing is what gets him...
Danica-I agree with the other posts on both sides-some dogs just don't have the genes to make great fetchers and some need to be taught. I have a mixed hound...
Hey Gang !!!! Got a situation w/ my " Baby ", Jack. Since I left for a short trip to TX ( gone c. 2 wks. ), Jack had suddenly been jumping on my Ma's...
That's a beautiful picture, Sue. It specifically demonstrates the intensity of the breed as well as "the look" that puts submission into the heart of herds...
Hi All, I just thought I'd put this "out there" as an idea for those who have senior and/or arthritic dogs. Due to winter setting in here in Washington State...
I once had a collie pup 13 weeks old that had never played with humans, and though she would happily chase the ball and run with it, she had no idea about...
Hey Connie, Short hiaired dogs like pitts like to have something on warm in the winter here as well. This a.m. about 6:45 it was snowing!!! Not lots but the...
His kennel club name is Gromit Timorg He has his junior warrant and is registered with the international sheep dog society. He is 12 years old and that pic...
All Who Answered, When out walking/bathroom breaks, I have checked his stools, they are more firm again like normal and have looked in them for worms and...
Thanks Cindy! I did crate him and he hasn't made a mess at all and in fact he has made a mess for 2 days andlast night i had him out of the crate all night and...
Hi Lesley-my first thought is Jack knows what he can get away with and with who. I would say he respects G'Pa because he won't get on the bed when he's...
Hi, Harriet & Lucky from Pennsylvania.... my dog has a tendency to sometimes hoard food and treats, even when she seems to be moderately hungry. Has anyone...
<Fm List Owner CJ, Lesley,this message posted to the list and now you can talk to all of us cause you are a member! Welcome!> Hey Y'All !!!! How does 1 B-come...
Have U tried luring him closer w/ food held in your hand? Crouch down as low as U can, @ the Husky's eye level / hold out the food as far as your arm can go...
Hi Craig, I struggled with the concept of this theory too. As you know I train a variety of ways including with ecollars. Ecollars are introduced early in the...
Here's an article on Oprah, California fires and her dogs. However key points from the AKC regarding fire safety are located at the bottom of the article. I...
Hi Phil, Sounds like my Willie, a Standard Schnauzer. He chases the ball, picks it up, drops it someplace and keeps going. He's not interested in the fetch...
Good points, Tiffany. Bob Maida on this board said several times to have the dog fetch successfully a couple of times and then stop so you end on a good note....
My first dog "scooted" from his anal glads being impacted and I learned it was from his diet. LOL! I suggest having the vet express the glands, then checking...
Harriet, My Golden Retriever used to do that when he was younger,but my other two dogs never did. He would either bury them outside or in large potted plants...
I agree with the others on your Pitbull not fetching as it may not be her cup of tea. One of herding mixes will play fetch and we're trying to teach the...
Peggy, I ALWAY"S thought that the reason to have a dog's anal glands squeezed was from their diet but my vet's office say's no. I am wondering if they are...
I wanted to thank everyone for all your help and giving confidence to have a dream come true. I have a rottie- lab x. He was always hard to manage especially...
Hi Listers I FINALLY got the Illusion collar for my 11 month old golden retriever mix, Stanley. Today was the first day we used it, and I was wondering if what...
Hi there Elsa, my Flatcoated Retriever sometimes scoots. OK, one time she did need her glands expressing, but then afterwards she would do it again. The vet...
Hi there, I have an Illusion Collar and find it the most wonderful of management tools, it helps me to control my highly reactive dog Peterpan, who even with...
