I'd be really curious as how they teach this in Big School. I taught it by lots of games of "take it/don't touch" where the reward was always...
Both Duncan and Brogan were my home. Duncan taught me to walk again after I broke my back. Brogan got me through cancer treatment. Both gave me...
I'm a big fan of heavy duty throws for dogs that you can get at dog shows. Usually fleece on one side and smooth on the other - they stay on the...
I'm glad you've gotten such good reassurance that all this is normal. :) I've not yet had a Lab (came here to learn about them and have been...
Glad to hear that he's doing so well! :)
Congratulations on Saturday Gotcha Day! You sound very prepared and that's great that you have such a short drive home. Hope you have a...
Good luck! I think you've won half the battle simply by recognising that this is behaviour you'd like to modify and thinking about positive ways...
Yikes! No experience, I'm afraid, just wanted to say I hope they get Chi sorted and well.

Very glad to get an update and that it's positive. I admire how well you seem to be managing her ups and downs. :heart: And of course I admire...
There's a pretty big space in time between Aspen being only 10 months old now and the time when he'll be too old. Why not give yourself some time...

Hi and welcome! I think you will find lots of people to sympathise with your plight. I'm pretty sure @Beanwood 's Benson has eaten beds into...
Thank you for sharing more about your life with Tyson, his story and the photos and video. All dogs are special, but some make wider ripples in...
No worries, as soon as he gets his puppy, I'm back in business. :D
Definitely! Also in case you do get a little to close to the quick, it's a good idea to have a little pot of styptic powder on hand to quickly...
I'm sorry your old friend is slowing down - it's so hard to watch them age. As the changes have come so quickly, I hope it's something that your...
