Watching the westminster, and I've been reading a lot and looking at videos and lots of things I've finally been stunned by the revalation I can't - never ever - do ANY sort of sport, not agility, not obediance, nothing with Rupert. Not just because of his arthritis, I might be able to do...

We have a Down! =D
Sandy is downing! WHOOT! She's being doing it 9 times outta 10 in the house with just the hand signal. I haven't named it yet since I don't want to name an incomplete movement. So when we went for our walk today, I grabbed a handful of treats and randomly called her back and asked her down...

Diary of Beginner's Agility - VanMorrison
Saturday was Morrison's first agility class, my second . The class didn't start too well because there were about 20 dogs/owners against the wall trying to see the stretching demonstration, why they didn't have us stand in the ring I'll never know. We then did some turns excercises including...

My bad....feeding kibble again is a no-no....
apparently for Rivers. Completely ran out of time and fresh food this week for the dogs; so for replacement of half their meal mixed in with their normal HK and fresh turkey, I gave all of the dogs partial meal with Healthwise puppy chicken/brown rice for only 3 meals. Poor Rivers immediately got...

Canned pumpkin
How much canned pumpkin is recommended for a 50-60 lb. dog ? I'm trying to firm up Tyson's poop as I just switched to Taste of the Wild and his poops are little soft but stil pickup-able.

Recall/Front Question
Rey is very quick to come running to me when I call him. He sits in front of me, but often too far away. He's a hoppy little thing, and sometimes when I reach toward him to praise him or take his collar, he hops backwards quickly. I don't want this to turn into a habit so I need to know what...

Training to sniff on command
I taught the dogs to sniff the ground on command last night. That was a super easy trick to teach and I hope to use it to difuse some head on confrontations with Abbie and other dogs. Lily suprises me constantly. She does not appear to be super smart at first glance but man, she has a rocket scientist...

Fromm Four Star International holistic?
Hi, If you read my other post, you know that I am looking for a healthy food for a puppy. I went to Petco and Petsmart to look at and compare: Innova, Orijen, California Natural, Nutro and Blue Buffalo. Obviously, the only brands that I found at these stores were Nutro and Blue Buffalo. I stopped...

Pure vita

Taste of the Wild....
Our local TSC started carrying Taste of the Wild, which is weird because the only other food they have like that is Blue Buffulo. We are going to try it for Sally. What do you guys think of this kibble??
