My dad came out today and I forgot to tell him about Molly so he just walked in the front door when the door wasn't locked, like he usually does. Molly jumped up from the floor in my room where I was helping both my daughters get ready for their dance recital and she was making sure she didn't...

Is this thing on?

Can you suggest two or three methods that you might use to stop a dog from pulling on a leash, in the order that you would think best, assuming each preceding technique didnt yield the desired results? The dog is a rather energetic, inquisitive, and high drive 15 month old GSD. When we walk I...

We have two dogs at present Keegan is my wife's retired guide dog he is a GSD, 10 years old and is big gentle cuddy bear of a dog. Our pet dog Suki is 22 months, looks like a GSD but is Much smaller closer in size to a Belgian Shepherd or maybe she is a cross, she is energetic active and...

I did a homevisit this morning and met a precious 10mo female Catahoula. She was adopted from the shelter as a puppy (never ceases to amaze me just how many purebred pups wind up in shelters) and has overcome some initial skittishness she had. Her owners are Boxer people but met her and...

Has anyone of you watched the video Breed All About It: Akita? is it worth to buy? I'm collecting information of this breed couse I want to buy one this year.

I've spent the spring teaching Storm the fundamentals of blind retrieves: the dog is sent for a bird it didn't see fall. We have to teach the dog to run like the wind (or, I suppose, swim like a fish) in the direction it has been pointed and sent. Go in a straight line. Do not pass Go, do not...

When the Pupster was young, we bought a couple of babygates to keep her out of where we didn't want her to go. Although there was never (to my knowledge) any traumatic encounters between Macula and a gate (ie: a gate falling on her) she has a caution/fear about gates so that one only needs to be...

Since you can't understand plain english by email, maybe you'll get it if I post here. Do NOT email me. If you have a problem with something I post, have the god-damned balls to post your remarks here for all to see. Got it now? You've emailed me several times after I specifically told you to...

My 1 year old Shih Tzu resorts to chewing our walls and baseboards about once every two months. We just can't get the dog to stop. Help!!! What do we do????

I suppose this should be in activities, but there is more action here. Since many of you do agility/herding/breed shows I thought you might have an opinion. I'm looking for a portable sun shade (this is actually for my daughter's daycare, for when they play outside in the summer). Must be...

Marcel and Gen's peanut may turn out to be a girl. The choice of blue for the quilt is only because Gen likes blue. So make sure, if you write on your fabric, to write something that could work for either a boy or a girl. --Lia

How are those long retractable leads for places like the beach? Reilly is still a puppy so no off leash for him, but I'd like to give him a little extra freedom.....? Nat
