There have been so many people that have come and gone on the board. But everytime I see a doodle, I wonder how Ernie is. I loved his stories and thought he was one of the cutest dogs I have seen. Somedays I wish Joel would check in and let us know how he and Ernie are doing.

Vomiting in the night
Posted to: Health & Grooming
I recently homed a dog (2/3yr old lab/ collie cross). He is a little nervous, but will happily play fetch, walk around wagging his tail and takes every opportunity for a cuddle on my lap. The first 2 nights he was sick at about 3am. Then, the following night we tried making sure he was settled, wasn't...

Rose is out at my mentor's house having her puppies and I'm so worried! She was doing great when I went to see her. Unfortunately, I could not stay because she got too excited to see me. She would have been find if I had been there the whole time, but since I just got back, she wanted to play...

UPDATE: Dog Park Dispute for all you Judge Judys!
Posted to: News & Entertainment
If you were Judge Judy how would you rule? I arrived at the dog park this morning to quite the buzz. Apparently Emma, a small 1 1/2 lab damaged another ladies $600 sunglasses. The lady was wearing the glasses on her head when she bent down. There is disagreement between the two women if the glasses...

My puppy and my parents 6yr. old dog
Posted to: Training & Behavior
My little guy, Buddy, loves other dogs. He goes nuts for them. He licks them, jumps at them, tries to engage play all the time. This is a problem for my parents' 6 yr. old mini schnauzer, Maizy. Maizy has never liked jumpy, hyper dogs, even as a puppy. She is very curious about dogs, approaches slowly...

I can't get a collar on my dog.
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Ever since she got shocked when we tried the invisible fence (don't think we can do it - she is a very fearful dog), she has a problem when we go to put a collar on her. When she went to the vet yesterday they took off her collar because they had to sedate her (just to give her a checkup). Stupid...

Dog terrified of clicker - how far do I push it?
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Scout was terrified of the clicker from the moment I clicked and threw a treat on the ground. There has never been another noise that scared her, and even when she hears other people using the clicker at class, she doesn't seem to take notice. We don't know her background but I am sure someone...

My husband and I just brought home a new puppy yesterday from the humane society. She is very sweet and quite calm. We have a 6 month old black lab mix who loves EVERYTHING. We would not even hurt a flea!!! Ok, well maybe a flea. Anyway, the two dogs seem to get along well. They were romping in the yard...

How do I know if I'm feeding enough food? Winston eats 2-1/2c. of Innova puppy over two meals each day. He's energetic and looks great, but always seems to be sniffing for food and acts hungry. Tonight he finished his meal in less than 10 minutes and kept checking back for more. He's about...

How do you teach "off"?
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I thought Buddy knew what this meant, but I think he is only responding to me coming to him when he is on the couch or chair to make him get off. Also, is it wrong to let him on the furniture, but make him get off when he is doing something innapropriate, like scratching the fabric or walking onto the...

Posted to: Training & Behavior
Tonight I was eating. Bailey wanted some but, I did not share with her. I showed her that my hands were empty and the food was gone. She them promptly jumped up and peed on my bed! Was she "getting back at me?"

Louise brag
Posted to: News & Entertainment
It's Louise's first really cold day and she is crazy, running around in circles all over the sand, racing with her friend Maple, a boxer puppy, and doing perfect off-leash heels and dropping on 'wait's all the way down the boardwalk! We've been working on heel all week and I'm...
