• Paula Diffenbaugh Posted : 7/2/2006 7:19:14 PM Heidi is beautiful. My mom calls Jake her granddog I think it is so funny and I love it.  She was against us getting a dog but she is the biggest softy in the world when it comes to Jake now.  LOL   Heidi reminds me of Jakes bestest girlfriend our neighbors dog Tianna.  Its funny I will look out the door and there will be Tianna looking in the window.  Waiting to come in and visit with Jake and get a treat.[]   And before anyone asks, she is only offleash when they are in the yard and they know I dont mind her coming over in the yard. She also has been very well trained and has wonderful recall. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• spiritdogs Posted : 7/3/2006 12:14:56 PM My all time favorite is "The Culture Clash" by Jean Donaldson.  For newbie owners, I like to suggest "Parenting Your Dog" the new one by Trish King. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• mondayblues Posted : 7/4/2006 4:05:14 AM "How to Speak Dog" by Stanley Coren and "The Dog Bible" by Tracie Hotchner.   The first one is more on behavior. I really liked it because it gave me a lot of insight into dog communication, and it had illustrations and a quick canine language reference guide at the end. The second one is good for novice owners like myself -- very informative and covers an enormous amount of topics. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
