Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
My 8 mo old toy poodle now knows how to come, sit, shake and go down. We still have to work on the release command. She comes out of it when she wants to. Or if she plainly sees the "treat", she usually stays in position till i give her the treat and say "good girl". I'm teaching...

Bully Sticks?

What to do in this situation?
Posted to: Training & Behavior

My agility club did a demo and also allowed the public to try out the equipment. I'm the one in the gray T-shirt. You can spot me falling over the tunnel as I try to keep up with the dogs on the A-frame.

new warning on artifical sweetener and dogs
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
