Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise

I think ours would have as well, but we loved our dog, Abby, and did all we could to get her healthy. She had pneumonia and it took 6...

Why does she bark at the TV?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
My 6 month old puppy hates TV. When I turn it on, she barks at the TV and acts like she is afraid of it. I muted it but she still barks at it. Maybe she thinks there are real people in it? I really miss watching TV and dont want to live without it...hehe. Anyone heard of this before?

Territorial at agility class?
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Just wanted to ask for input on an issue I'm having with Lucy. We've been going to the kennel club once a week (for obedience, then agility) for more than 6 months now. Over the past couple months, she's developed her "barking skills". I am kidding, because it is very bad for two...

Long lines?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Lately I've noticed that a lot of people on this board that don't let their dog run off leash say that they use long lines instead. Sooooo, are these just really long leashes? How long? I think this would be a good option for Caesar when we go for hikes, because I definitely don't trust...

Doesn't like too much barking....
Posted to: Training & Behavior
OK, Sally herself is NOT much of a barker. I work midnights, and if someone is knocking on the door during the day, it is the knocking that wakes me, not the dog--she's just looking at me like "Aren't you going to get that?" She seems to be bothered by barking in general. We went...
