Has anyone ever trained their own service dog?
I'm thinking about training a dog for my mom. She has anxiety issues and could use a dog to go shopping with, etc. Not sure of the channels I need to go thru to do it on my own or if I even could. Anyone have any experience with this type of thing? Pros/cons?

What do you think for rotation??
Started feeding all 3 of my guys homecooked about 3 weeks ago, or thereabouts. So far I've noticed a big difference in my young 17mnth old NSDT/Retriever mix in regards to the fact that he seems more satisfied after eating a meal. Before, after having spent the first year feeding Innova large...

Poo Poo Nirvana!!!
I know there are some of you out there who can relate to this, so I just have to share. My dogs have had perfect tootsie roll poops for like 3 weeks running now.

Is this okay for dog muffins?
The orginal recipe was posted at allrecipes.com, a friend of mine made some changes to it and passed it on to me. Her muffins came out way different from mine... mine were way too soft and wouldn't stay together plus it took forever to cook. Anyhow, I wanted to ask about the ingredients to make...

Bones for dogs who don't like to chew
Aesop dislikes chewing..give him something even as simple as a chicken nugget and he'll act like you expect him to hold a mouthful of pudding. He'll mouth it until it falls out. I've given him marrow bones and he ends up just licking them. He does chew kibble and cookies (but they must be...
