Just to be clear, I don't plan on clipping a lead to the slip, just using it to turn him around. I'll probably tie a knot in it too so it can't...
Yes, i read about the bite incident. My dad works in a Home Hardware, and they let dogs in. not sure if theirs is a company-wide or a store by...
I can actually imagine how this was taken by the community- my dad's a user of the Prong,a nd is quite upset about the Toronto ban of Prongs...
I'm considering a slip collar to toss in my pocket, just to have on hand for those times when Shamas gets distracted and is hard to turn in the...
That's encouraging. It's possible that the behavior is a learned one, you say that youve done a lot of work with her, trying to ease her fears...
I walk Shamas on a harness, and I love it. He's generally pretty good. Every once in a while, something will happen and he'll get...
We love taking Shamas into stores with us. He really relaxes when he's in the human places, and generally gets great responses from the other...
Shamas is getting more confident with every day that passes. we've found a bike trail that goes Under a main road, and into a new set of paths,...
Yes it is. I have a long line, but its only rated to 45lbs. I've used it many times out and about, when I go out to a field with my dad and it...
I had a chane to get Shamas out to a trail today :) My dad popped by to go for a walk and he drove us to a nearby one. It's only a few blocks...
Shamas doesn't seem too interested in other things..we tried getting him to look at squirrels once. But I found that a squeaky toy helps, as well...
Yes, I know this now. I've learned where his limits are, and that he's basically good for about a blok in one direction from the house, and 2-3 in...
I would say that if the dog's "owner" is subservient to the dog, whines at it, free-feeds it, and generally caters to it's demands...the dog...
This is my log of Shamas training. I welcome suggestions, as I update and vent out frustrations. Shamas was brought home on October 27th and is...
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of a Dominant dog is Buck, from Call of the Wild. Smart, adaptable, knew when to fight and when...
Off-leash is not an option for me, but I do rotate harnesses. I have a Top-paw harness, that's padded...but is loose on him. It fit well when I...
I actually just did-about 3 minutes ago :) I'm seriously considering taking the 3 harnesses that I have, using the buckles, and making one myself...
I picked him up on Friday October 27th. He'd had his surgery on the Tuesday before that so we did the post-op recovery. Shamas is tall, fine-boned...
Hi everyone. I'm here for Lab-specific advice, for my rescue Shamas. I adopted him on October 27. 2017. He's my first dog. He's also reactive,...
