loose dog
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I was just going outside to let Harley out at my work when I saw her stop in her tracks. I looked and there was a dog going through a bag of trash that someone was too lazy to throw away. I immediately grabbed her by the collar and took her inside. But then I went back out to see the dog again, ans he...

Agility brag

I had agility class last night. Kota did so well on his runs! His first run he did great and we only had a minor problem but would have gotten a Q. His second run of half of a different course, he did so well we only got to do it once! Every one else did it more because they messed up parts of it. ...

Collar that doesn't cut hair?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I can not for the life of me find a collar that I'm happywith for Max. Every one that I have tried has cut Max's hair around his neck. I've tried several Nylon collars and a leather one. I haven't tried a rolled leather, but wouldn't they hurt him if he pulls on leash. He doesn't...

Prayers please
Posted to: Life Stages
Hi there, I just wanted to ask for some prayers. My health is being really crappy here lately - more so than usual, and today has been really bad. I've finally tried to get out and do something I enjoy even though it has been really hard to find the energy and strength. Only problem is, I over...

The Guardian Campaign
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I'm puzzled about this "guardian" language thing. For one thing, I call myself an "owner" but that doesn't mean I see my dog as mere property. But then I'm supposed to be a "guardian" because I adopted a dog. In the FAQ section of the IDA's [link http://www...

Dragging on leash!!
Posted to: Training & Behavior
My 11 week old Boxer is unbelievably stubborn on the leash. When we get outside 90% of the time he just refuses to move...too interested in trying to eat everything. What bothers me is he will actually keep all 4 legs stiff and I end up dragging him. I feel like it's hurting him but I want to get...

I have 2 schoodles, one boy (6 mos) and one girl (13 mos). The girl has a history of eating her feces outside. The boy, however, has also taken up this habit AND, as he has taken a while to housetrain, he will go to the bathroom in the house and eat the evidence. This is wrong on so many levels. Does...

Posted to: Training & Behavior
Ok, so for the last couple of weeks, Max has started showing aggression toward some dogs. I honestly have no idea where to start trying to fix it or if it can even be fixed. I admit defeat and I'm coming to all of you. First I'm going to describe the scenarios that this has happened in. ...
