Ah, yes. Over threshold, and when it happens it's hard to anticipate! Seems to be excitement; I don't see fear, just WAY overexcited. It usually...
Thanks for the reassurance! I saw it here, and they specifically connected muzzle-punching while jumping up as a problematic behavior:...
Those are such cute videos! I can't believe she pulled Tatze's tail and Tatze was so chill about it! Tatze has the patience of a saint, for sure!
That's fabulous. I love that pic! Do you think it's time, or that she's "big enough" to play with now? Looking at that pic, that's about the size...
Hi all. Bessie's a sweet thing and I've never worried about aggression with her. She can be a bit fearful of noises and in general a little...
Yes, that's what Bessie does if Burke is outside waiting to come in. She'll catch sight of him in the window or hear him whine and go ring the...
I feel you! Bessie's just right at 9 months and the past couple of weeks she's been a horror! I thought since she was spayed at 8 weeks (NOT my...
The noise is fine - it's a gentle soft jingle, not jarring or anything, at least to my ears. :) It's not a big bell, but a set of small...
So, it was so easy (ha!) to teach Bessie to ring the doggie doorbells by the door to go out. But now she does it constantly. Sitting her listening...
My two fight over access to me and most of Burke's grumpiness toward Bessie is jealousy-related. Sigh. They get along great now but it did take...
I'm having one of those days and Bessie is almost nine months old. Sorry, that probably doesn't make you feel better! :oops: I trained her to use...
She probably knew it was "come" to come inside and that's why she didn't obey. They get smart around this age, and willful. One of the biggest...
What a handsome guy! Beautiful coat and face.
My first dog, Dana, I got when I was 21 years old. She traveled with us everywhere. When she was 14 I got Burke as an 8 week old puppy. I think I...
Glitter poop! :D Glad he seems to have passed it/the ornament bit without trouble.
So happy to hear this! What a long haul you've both had!
My older dog was neutered at around 18 months. The trainer said it would help his reactivity. It did not. It did help the marking and humping, though!
So...the Treat & Train would be at his mat or place and then I'd say "go to place" and treat when he gets there? That would work with him as he's...
Ooh, good idea! Do you think it's okay for two dogs to share a Treat & Train, or how do you deal with that? I have had a Treat & Train on my list...
So, Burke has improved on a lot of fronts in the past few months - I think having Bessie to play with has helped him chill out a bit, as I could...
