what to do with high energy dog???
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Bugsy is approaching 18 mos now and is still so very, very high energy. This morning I took him for a 5 mile walk with 4 liters of water in his backpack, alongside his best playmate for the added diversion (she's awful on leash so he had to struggle to 'heel' the whole time). This was after...

Does anyone else's dog do this?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Georgie likes to grab Max's legs (and she'd grab others too) when they're playing. He doesn't seem too annoyed by it because he'll let her do it a bit before he'll tell her to stop and run off, and he isn't getting hurt. I've never seen nor heard of a dog that did that...

Plastic vs. Wire Crate
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Some may know that Sierra has S.A., and as soon as McConnell's book comes, I'm going to tackle it. Currently, she stays in a plastic crate when nobody is home. Her SA isn't severe, and she doesn't destroy her crate or hurt herself. She does however pant heavily and cry when she's...

What "First do no harm" really means
Posted to: Training & Behavior

Posted to: News & Entertainment

I apologize if this is a repeat post. But, I recall hearing/reading briefly of a dog food study that was looking at the percentage of protein in dog food and its link to possibly a cause for dog aggression? I recall it was from Tufts University but have had no luck in finding out anymore info. ...

Gross poop eating - possible digestion problem?

I know this is a common question/complaint on the board, but this was really gross. Fed them dinner last night - they feed separately - then we went out for potty. 98% of the time, Winnie poops right after she eats, Petey's more like 70% of the time - sometimes it takes a couple of hours before...

Register AKC or Not?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I've had Pronto since Thanksgiving and realized that I have not yet filed his AKC papers. Is there any real reason/benefit for doing so? He's a companion dog, never to be shown and will be neutered. Is there any compelling reason for me to spend the money on registering him? TIA
