That emergency moment, when your training pays off
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Yep, just had one of those moments with Kirby. As many of you probably have heard me mention, I also keep praying mantises as pets. Well I've always tried to instill in Kirby that my pet mantises are not like insects outside and must not to be fussed with. I've never done any direct interaction...

so hard to find doggy friends...=(
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Ari really really needs a playmate. The dogs we've met in our little niche are older or not great with puppies and/or other dogs or too small for her to safely play with. We've tried taking her to a puppy social that is 45-50 minutes away but no one shows up besides us! This particular puppy...

My pupper (Liesje)
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Not sure which one, but it will either be Red, Green, or Brown boy. There are 10 total, 4 boys, but one appears to be plush or long coated (I think long coats are stunning, but Coke has enough coat for five dogs so I'm set with long coats for now!). Brown boy is the biggest one. He was very chilled...

What's this stuff called (help!)
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I'm looking for the flagging / tape stuff that you would use to rope off an area. You know what I'm talking about? I'm trying to find some so that I can rope off our frisbee dog field for our competition but I have no idea what it would be called or where I would find it. I checked Lowes...

Nail trimming question
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Question-is it true that frequent nail trimming will cause the quick to recede? My vet told me that the quick grows along with the nail, and I read somewhere that trimming will help a quick to recede back. Does that really happen? I trim Harry's nails about every 2-3 weeks, and I have never (knock...

Anyone have any suggestions on teaching a clicker class?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I'm currently teaching a clicker class for the animal clinic I work at. It is my first clicker class, but not my first obedience class to teach (though I've only taught one before this one). It's going quite well, except for a few people. They just don't seem to get the idea of the clicker...

Is there any way....
Posted to: Training & Behavior
to help Lily get over the reaction to every little sound outside at night? I don't want to just mask the noise with a fan or something. When we go camping, she will bark at every little sound outside of the tent. If I leave the windows open in my bedroom at night she will bark if she hears something...

Bi-polar Type 2?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I recently started going to a counselor because I've been on depression meds (welbutreon) for a while now and the doctor that put me on them suggested counseling along with the drugs. Although the meds had worked at first they had stopped working as well recently so I felt that maybe the issue was...

Bear might have a UTI - Update!
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Monday after work when I was walking Bear, I noticed he kept trying to lick his penis. Yesterday his licking was starting to become "obsessive", so I think he may have a UTI. He had one about 6 weeks ago and that's what I noticed (excessive licking) - he didn't seem to be leaking or...

Dominace at the Dog park?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I take Jack to the dog park frequently. He seems to enjoy himself and is a pretty laid back dog--doesn't want trouble, just wants to hang out. A few weeks ago when we went there was a family with a fixed male lab mix and an intact male Cane Corso. He was a big guy--7 months old and already...
