I was unable to train to use just one area of the yard. Apparently we need a light at the end of our long yard for nights that get dark at 4:30...
Some dementia setting in? Our field trainer's dog was 10 when he started showing some signs. You never know too, how many signs you missed....
I didn't trust Oban to go out alone till he was about a year old. Besides having deep snow like you do, we also have skunks, like you do. If I...
You are such a meanie. If that was children you'd tell them they should let the other one play in the dirt with them. Not fair for you to play...
WE had such a nice horsey meeting this past week. One of the places we walk horse riders trailer to and for some reason we haven't met the ladies...
Oban is our first boy after girl dogs and he leaves dead grass in the middle of the lawn. He does do the tri-pawd pee but in winter when we blow...
Thought I would add, when Oban was a pup the three cats were horrified I introduced this little black "Holy Terror" as his Grandma called him....
What I do is make sure the cat's claws are short and provide escape routes and places puppy can't get to. These are for the split second times I...
My trainer had a dog who did that, only female dog urine but it didn't matter if they were spayed or not. He was intact and meant to be used at...
What do you do with your dog? Show in conformation? Field trial? Some other venue to show he's more than just a pretty boy? I know our breeder...
All my dogs have picked all those, and strawberries, wild, alongside me. I don't limit them because they can't pick that many themselves. Still,...
I don't know how many times my Lab has gotten wet, muddy, covered in snowballs and I've been grateful he is not a GR. Field bred GR are few and...
Vinegar worked for me. Offer a small bowl to drink. If you are already adding apple cider vinegar to your food then your dog may like the stuff...
This lactose content chart shows many cheeses are far lower in lactose than an equal weight of milk. Another chart I found included cheddar,...
It's fine. Just watch total intake so that the balance of the food is not thrown off. I like to introduce a variety of foods early. Bits of...
@Xena Dog Princess well, I've never done a puppy class, but I don't think I'd like what you describe. Was there only one instructor for an...
Because you did such an excellent job of showing her more fun things to do? :) At only 15 weeks I think there is lots of time for her to...
I hope your breeder checked out more than just hips and elbows. We took the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test with us. It was good to read ahead of...
Black is my colour. There's a saying someone has on a gundog forum, "All dogs want to be Labs and all Labs want to be black." :) When I win the...
OMG. NO kisses allowed from that dog.
