Re: You know you are a dog geek when..

Ben I know that feeling That moment when you open the fridge and remember no you don't have leftovers that pot of food is full of dog food. While at work you tell inanimate objects to sit and wait. (Seriously the trash isn't going to walk itself) I've come to think my coworkers think I'm crazy when ...

Re: Fear Aggression and Reactivity

There's an awesome book out there called click to calm. It's all about fear and reactive/ aggressive dog training. I took a training class and this book was a required read. I suggest you look into it it was written by a dog trainer with a fear based nervous aggressive dog.

Re: X-back harness fit?

That Harness is not fitted right its much to short. X back harnesses should come all the way to the tail for a proper fit. At least thats what I've learned from sledding http://www.alaskaskijoring.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/harness-x-back2.jpg Not my dog but thats how it should look. I don't ...

Re: Babies and dogs

I'm not to worried about the child crawling on the dogs. My dogs see children and get excited idk if it because they only come by once a month or if they just are overly excited with kids? But teaching the dogs space sounds like a great idea Judy. And I'm defiantly going to read that blog.
