Horrible photo, poor dog. So strange I never heard of this till I got on a mainly UK board. The other board I'm on for Labs is owned by a...
Ditto @snowbunny AND, it may be illegal to allow her to chase or otherwise harass wildlife. It is here. People tend to be especially sympathetic...
Zippers are cute to see. Sometimes they are a darker colour on the yellows. Good thing my dog doesn't have one as I like to ruffle them...
I managed to do this as well and the only reason I can think it worked for me is that I allow the chase but it's after my tennis ball and he can...
I had to refresh recall training too. WE had exemplary recall till about 18 months. I discovered North/South fetching for our field training and...
Our situation was similar, pup could get through the fence. We were ALWAYS outside supervising. Young puppies rarely have enough confidence to...
Twice a week with the furminator sounds like a lot, though I don't use one. I know you can overuse the furminator and ruin coat and I'm afraid I...
Yes, ditto @Boogie. That's a fairly common problem and often a little snack, a small bit of his regular meal, at bedtime fixes it. Easy first...
What are the protein, fat and kcal/cup of the food she eats? Maybe a food with some lower numbers would allow you to feed the same amount but cut...
I've read complete bladder and sphincter control may not be achieved till six months old. Poor little Corona may not have had the same amount of...
Oh no. Hope this heals up quickly. While we have not had a barbed wire fence incident our ESS did run smack into a page wire fence and hit the...
I found walking briskly prevents the sniffing. However as @Boogie mentions, who's walk is it anyway? And if we have to walk on leash then I make...
That's why I will never use bells. Once they know how to ask they ask for anything. ONce they get a bit older and you know they don't really...
Yes, ditto @snowbunny My Algonquins still sink a bit in deep snow but not nearly as much as my two aluminum pairs, which are more narrow and...
@Lisa maybe they were the wrong size for you? Or you were using them in the wrong conditions? You can see my tracks are not widened. These...
Thanks. They were pretty beat up. OH has repaired them and we put new bindings on and a new coat of shellac. I have four pairs of snowshoes....
BAT training or I think LAT might help. My theory is the leash is seen as a trap. If the other dog went for them, they'd be stuck on the leash....
It could be his teeth. Some of them seem to lose their minds when teething starts. I guess they are like us and some have lower pain thresh...
Very frightening. I have heard of dogs being strangled that way. That is one really good aspect of a quick release collar. Oban's collar is a...
Changed my avatar to show the pretty tracks left by a pair of snowshoes I've been using lately. OH had these centuries ago to access the trap...
