I don't get how dogs don't understand the word "no"
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
OK so I hesitate to even start this thread because I know that it will probably start a bunch of conflicting views and that is absolutely not my intention….I actually tend to completely stay out of these training topics as I am always the “peacemaker” in the family and tend to steer clear of conflict...

Isn't it all about balance?
Posted to: Training & Behavior

Thoughts on splitting a tube of Advantix
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I have used Advantix on Jezebelle since we got her. Last winter I switched to Advantage, and Jezebelle seemed to react to it. She developed a red rash on her neck right where I put the preventative. I switched back to the Advantix because the ticks and the mosquitos are horrible here. Ever since she...

Hiring a Dog Walker
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I really hate having to ask about this - please don't bash me for doing so. I am having a very difficult pregnancy and just don't have the energy after work to walk my dogs. Unfortunately, my husband is currently disabled (work injury) and isn't allowed to do anything. Our dogs are suffering...

Collies and Shelties
Posted to: Choosing A Dog
How can Collies and Shelties look so much alike and be different breeds? I have read that Shelties originated from Collies, but Im guessing that was a while back so how can it be possible for them to retain such identical looks?

What is the one thing about your dog...
Posted to: News & Entertainment
What is the one thing about your dog that brings a smile to your face when not together? For me is when I am at a work and is a pretty day and I picture Romeo running around wild chasing anything, with that crazy look in his face: eyes just bright and alive, silly grin on his face, tongue hanging...
