So happy I switched!
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Tootsie has a Uti, so I called the vet and they couldn't get me in until next week. So then they told me I should go somewhere else if that was to far away . Guess what: I went somewhere else. The new vet is awesome. Very personable, to me and Tootsie. Explained things, gave me a treatment plan before...

Teaching 'stand'
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I put this in the training section but didn't get much. I want a command for stand and a way to teach it. For instance if he is in a down stay and you want him to stand. I tried what someone told me, which was to get him to reach for a treat so he rises but he can reach while sitting so that's...

Posted to: News & Entertainment
Hi Everyone I thought we would introduce ourselves.... I am Shalva and I share my home with seven retrievers, goldens and flat coated retrievers. We show and compete in obedience, hunt, and will be adding agility (as soon as I get off crutches) and rally to the mix. We breed for conformation BUT also...

Stupid poeple

I live in a cul-de-sac, the people that live on the main road that my road meets is the main road through the subdivision. Their dog has had 5 puppies. The puppies wander like a curious puppy x 5 I called animal control today. I feel like a turd for doing it but yesterday when I took my daughter for...

So... Meet "Kaiser" (KarissaKS)
Posted to: News & Entertainment
After a long day yesterday, I'm now sitting here at work with a wee little Alaskan Klee Kai on my lap and he insists on resting his head on my hand, which is trying to type! That's better than when he insisted that it be on the keyboard, though. It's a boy! Actually, it ended up that I...

Where to put the dogs when I go on my work trip
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I have a few choices....just kind of thinking out loud. I'm going out of town for about 3 days for work soon and need to decide what to do with the dogs. Choice #1: All dogs stay home and I hire the dog walking service to come let them out 3x per day for 30 mins each time. Down side is that Lily...

The BH and AD
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Can someone tell me about this title? I would love to start in SchH but I cannot do bitework with Kenya b/c she has weak nerves. I would like to try for the BH eventually. How does it compare with AKC obedience? I've read how the test works, but just reading the requirements doesn't indicate...

How to have a great recall?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I wanted to get Maggie into agility but she has to have a good recall. She doesn't, her's sucks. Even after practicing at home, at the park and in obedience class. In the yard, if she sees something, even if its a bird, she gets fixated on it and acts like she doesn't hear a word I'm...

Cost per year?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
To feed your dogs? List how many dogs, sizes, breeds, and jobs if they have one. I just read on a sled dog site that I should expect to pay $300/year/dog. That sounds crazy to me. I'm paying that in about 3 months, maybe 4. Well, since I switched completely to raw. I think mine stands around this...

Off Leash On Vacation
Posted to: News & Entertainment
We are renting a cabin in the adirondacks this year in August where the property is 1,750 acres and there is also a 110 acre pond on the property. I would really like to just allow the dogs to walk and swim off leash for the most part. They will have a much better time if we aren't holding the other...
