Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
We started a new training class and Scout is a bit hard to control in it - lunging & pulling towards the other dogs, etc. The trainer recommended I get a GL so I can work on her training while having better control. Should I only use the GL at the training class, since that's the only time...

Janis peeing on bed
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Lately, my dog Janis has been urinating on our bed. She's 1 1/2 years old, half beagle, half catahoula. She only does it while my husband and I are out of the room, and she leaves a very large puddle. She does this even after being let outside recently. How do I stop this and why does she do it?...
