Can't contact VPN support! What to do?
Greetings to all members of the forum! Many people still think that competent technical support is only needed during the installation phase of a VPN application, but in fact there are many cases when you may need it after. Your question confirms my words. But first you need to make sure that the service...

Pat Miller's New Book
It's called, "Do-Over Dogs: Give Your Dog a Second Chance for a First Class Life" - all about taking dogs who have been re-homed and doing the right things to ensure they finally find a forever home. I paid for mine already and can't wait to get it - due out mid-July. For those who...

Training and Walking as a Business Together
I want to walk dogs and also teach them good behavior. I'm pretty good. Does anybody know if I need to be certified or can I say that dog training is a part of my service. What else would I have to get to start a dog walking business? Appreciate any of your thoughts and knowledge. Have a wonderful...

Moving to a new house
Hi! We are moving to a new house on Friday and my boys are freaking out. For the past week, they have seen their favorite sofa and all the rugs leave the house. There are boxes all over and new people coming in and out. They are not doing well with it. Tomorrow they are coming to take all the furniture...

regressing to pre-trained days...?
We're concerned about shenzi. She's been regressing, and now poops in the house again. She's about 5 mo. now, and we thought she was mostly potty trained. She pooped a couple of times on my keyboard case, and a couple of times in a corner of our bedroom. She is locked up all day in her crate...

Posturing and being silly (jennie_c_d)
Emma and Jewel posture, a lot. Piloerecting, growling, circling, bumping. It's never come to more, so I just.... let them. Just now, I was kissing Emma on my lap, and when I put her down, Jewel ran INTO her, growling, and being pushy. Emma's hackles came up, and she shoved Jewel away, and went...

True Service Dogs?
I came across this column in the paper today. Thought some of you who have or train service dogs might find it interesting. It was in response to a fellow who wanted to train a huskey-malamute X as a sevice dog. I have to say I think your question is moot. Unless the service you're looking to provide...

Puppy won't tell us he has to go outside
About 2 weeks ago I found a shepherd mix puppy along the road and brought him home. We got him checked out at the vet and, although starved, he was fine. We are going to keep him. In the first week he had only two peeing accidents in the house, and we were fine because we thought "he's only...

Do some dogs hate spitz breeds because of physical appearance?
I just got into this discussion following someone's young akita fending off a staffy that abruptly decided to attack her. The akita is a pretty laid back individual and historically very tolerant, although she's still under a year old. She ended up with some nasty puncture wounds but the staffy...

Using random rewards and patience training to improve behavior
Hi - I read this (I did not write it) and I thought it was worthy of reposting. Excellent content. Random reward training means you randomly reward the behavior. You vary the interval/frequency of rewards or the dog will soon figure out that every other time it performs the behavior, a reward is...

The behaviour interpretation thread
This started on the training/behaviour chatter thread, but it was suggested that it be moved to its own thread so it doesn't get lost in all the chatter. The idea is to post photos, videos or descriptions of dog behaviour such as interactions with people or other dogs. I think it's best if the...

Lots of toys, still steals shoes and underwear??
Our puppy has more toys than you can shake a stick at (no pun intended) yet he continues to take our underwear, socks, shoes. He definitely knows he shouldn't has he stares at you and when you say no and go to grab it, he takes off. I try not to chase him, so he doesn't think it's a game...

Astrology in dogs
As it is known very well, every individual has a different nature. I have found out that one of the main factors influencing the character of our pet is Astrology. Truth is that education and training can do a lot of work, but there is something inborn in dog what almost cannot be changed even if we...
