Hi @iconic1 to allay your understandable fears one would need to know why they passed away. Complications from birth? Genetic defects? Mother...
@Henry77 I take it you're unpersuaded?
Hi @Stephanie Pilkenton I think we need more information. How do you know your dog suffers from separation anxiety issues? If so, what steps...
Let us know your reaction.
It's an excellent book. The push stick and drop rule protocol is brilliant. In fact, that alone is worth the price of "admission".
Hi @labl0ver Congratulations I would get a flat collar and a house line. You will replace the collar perhaps twice or three times. The puppy will...
Happy that it is working. But the message of dominance has to be exposed for being seriously misleading nonsense. Many years ago a dog instructor...
