Problems with attention-type exercises.
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I have failed miserably at teaching Cherokee any kind of attention behavior. Watch me, heel, targetting...anything like that. She knows lots of "tricks", the standard sit, stay & come, she's a great loose-leash-walker, and we've made huge progress in her aggression towards dogs...

Long term crating damage...need help.
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I have just taken in a 4 year old male, neutered Yorkie. He has spent quite a bit of time living in a crate. His owner was too busy for him, and has recently decided to give him up. I have had him just over 24 hours and am putting together a plan to work him through the damage that has been done. I would...

Coke passed (the test)!
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Coke passed the CGC last night, hosted by the Working Dog Club of Michigan (so it was Coke among German Shepherds, most titled in Schutzhund or police dogs). He did really well. His heeling almost went awry because while we were doing the free heeling with the turns, one dog started barking and lunging...

Okay, here's the situation: I've been feeding canidae for a really long time. i think it's a good quality food, for a decent price. My dogs have done well on it, and i recommend it to everyone. They have their own frequent buyer program that is independent of my pet store. Well about a month...

stalking... a breed trait?
Posted to: Choosing A Dog
Is stalking prey a breed thing or more of a dog thing? Just curious... just saw my dog stalk a rabbit. The rabbit was just sitting there at first while my dog slowly inched towards it like lion would. She's part terrier but I have never seen terriers stalk anything.

I am SO proud of 4 dogs -- they handled this SO well and were SOOOOO incredibly good to roll with what could have been a disaster. We got home at 10:00 from the vet's tonight (Kee Shu and Billy acupuncture night and some supper) to the smell of gas. Oh my -- whatta ker-fuffle! HUGE gas leak -...

Posted to: News & Entertainment
But I am inept. I can only upload one photo at a time, and I am oh, so slow at it! You get to have a few photos, though, and a promise of more. Ena was a little baby, when I got her. Now, she is taller than Emma, and really looking like a big girl. And, finally, Emma loves my friend's baby, so much...

Proofing
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Often, people have difficulty with behaviors outdoors that the dog can perform flawlessly indoors with few distractions. Part of this difficulty stems from dogs not being the greatest of generalizers. They need many more repetitions, and they need to be taught from square one sometimes if you change...
