Hoo boy!!! What a great picture. There is absolutely no resisting that face. You have been writing about training her...I got a newsflash for...
Ahh, yes, the "OMG!!! Isn't he beautiful!!!" bunch (said in high pitched ones). Murphy gets a bit more excited but he does not jump on people....
Sounds like things are going pretty darned good! About training her to be a service dog. . . keep in mind they all have different personalities...
Sort of depends on your dog and your lifestyle. And there are variations of "free feeding". In our case, Murphy gets two cups of food in the AM...
I don't think that is "settling".
Yes, it is amazing what they can do. Including being stubborn as all get out when they want to be. You didn't tell us how old she is, but from...
Be very careful people. . . .I have seen something similar to this before, it did not end well.
It infuriates me to no end. "oh, let's get a cute little puppy for the kids!" A year later the poor thing is confined to the backyard, no one...

I had no idea how many people were afraid of dogs until we bought a beach front condo in Myrtle Beach, SC. The condo situation is pretty unique....
I have not taken anything "personally", this is after all the internet. Hopefully you are not taking it personally either. When it comes to...
Maybe I needed to make my post a bit clearer. We don't give him treats for behavior. When we told him to get down and he finally would get down,...
As I have written before, we don't work with Murphy by using treats to get him to do something. The sofa thing is a tough one, for sure....
I am not a trainer, nor do I pretend to be one on the internet. That said.... Leash walking is not much in the way of "exercise". Maybe for...
Oh, they know more about training people than we will ever know about training dogs!
Beanwood, Murphy has pretty much been great since he was 8 weeks old. Would you believe, he never ever pooped in the house and only had two other...
Yup, socks are special! Murphy steals mine out of the clothes hamper. Takes them into the hallway, mouths them until they are soaked and then...
