I've been BARF-feeding my ferrets and dogs for years. I don't have a problem with having to chop up the meat, as my supplier sells it in useful...
Fifth training day, It went well. We expanded on our old commands, especially contact exercise. We also "learned" lay down, though Jackie knew...
Thanks guys. I think I was so discouraged because the trainer singled us out at the end of the walk and asked us how we felt it had gone....
What gets to me is that it's something he started doing recently. Clearly I'm doing something wrong that encourages it.
Yeah I know it was wrong, at the time I was reacting purely from shock that he bit(nipped hard) my ass. Thankfully he didn't take it hard. Heck...
Fourth training day, and it was city walk day. *deep sigh* I swear I've been training leash walking, but you wouldn't know it by how it went...
So, lately Jackie has started nipping at me when he gets excited. When he sees I'm getting ready for a walk, when he gets over excited when...
Jackie PEED on our trainer THREE TIMES today.
Third Training Day. First things First: Jackie peed on the trainers leg THREE TIMES today. I was MORTIFIED. To be clear, I didn't just let him...
The second session of training. We've been working on the stuff from last time every day. He's been a bit iffy with heel, honestly, but we got...
Yeah, I have my Jackie pretty used to my own treadmill. I don't have him on lead, and at an energetic walking pace at most. Honestly I use it...

That...will require some planning as we live practically in the middle of a field-on-a-hill and he barks long before they actually get within...
A bit of background; Godzilla, our basset, has this thing about barking at EVERYONE when he sees them unexpectedly. When we get home, when we get...
First day of training with an actual trainer. My sister and I had both signed up for a BASICS 1 course, her with her 2-year-old American...
So, as part of my evening rutine, I walk around the house to find out of place dishware for the machine. Tonight I found my favourite old glass in...
I'm really not a morning person, I'm not sure I'd be able to safely walk two large excited dogs before having my morning coffee. I can give it a...
So, in the mornings, I get up, feed the dogs, let them in the garden for morning toilette, then have my breakfast and then walk the dogs....
I've managed to get Godzilla to walk up into it on his own, though he gets off as soon as the thing moved, so work still ahead. He's been doing...
