Positively | Victoria Stilwell | Forum

As always, sound advice! Thx for the help. I really like the "snapshot" analogy emma. I will have to steal that phrase! Anyway, I have began some targeting practice with pepe and it is going great! as for the girl I pretty much did what you mentioned jacksdad. I had the girl face away and ...

To many of the regular users in this forum... You have accompanied me in my transition to a MWD Handler to MWD Instructor to a Petco Dog Trainer. You all have given me so much great insight and a completely different perspective on training and the use of a strictly positive based training structure...

Sorry Emma, I couldnt find an appropriate place to post this thread. :D Anyway, it has been a while since I have posted here. I recently got a job as a dog trainer at Petco. Now, before everybody tells me how much Petco sucks or whatever, I just want to say one thing. Every good dog trainer starts s...

Good info... Thx nettle

Also while I am thinking about it... What breed is the dog that Victoria is holding on the home page of this website. The eyes are stunning.

About how old does a dog have to be before you should start introducing water? How about ocean (beaches)? I know the salt water can play havoc on them. How early before they can be expected to swim on their own? Finally whats the best way to introduce water to a dog? How about a puppy?

Nah he was rented by the military and owned by a seperate vendor. I am still working to get him back.

And yes it was extremely hard to give him up after all we had been through together .

Again playing devils advocate jacksdad, but it is a stretch to compare a lion to a human. At least as relevant to the emotions of killing an innocent animal. We as humans are civilized. Lions are not.

It was a book that I read as a child. One of my favorites, it is about a boy and his two hunting dogs.... Excellent book, although I'm not sure how it would read nowadays. But I highly recommend it to any dog lover especially somebody who has hunting dogs!

He got sent back to Vohne Liche Kennels in Indiana...

Also, Bertie is absolutely adorable!

Have you ever read the book "where the red fern grows" Nettle. I really hope you have!!!

Coco (White one) is really small but she is not quite a toy dog size. I'm not sure of the weight but maybe maltese.... The vet said labradoodle (toy poodle). She defidently has poodle in her thought. Maybe a Maldoodle!!!!

I apologize Tori's mum but I am having a bit of difficulty in understanding the problem... It seems that you would like your dog to bark at only intruders coming into your house at night but no one else correct? If this is the case than you may be asking too much from Tori. For the most part it is j...
