Training is a breeze, but one problem!

Posted to: News & Entertainment

Now when I take Shelby and Souffle with me, they are on a coupler and I walk them with a traffic lead so they are right at my side. As I'm...

Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I was reading the clicker training thread and thought it sounded interesting, and I was thinking that maybe my trio would benefit from it. They haven't had any classes or anything, but they are all really intelligent dogs so I think they might pick up on it pretty quickly. I saw someone posted about...
