I think that one would be a better alternative for big strong Midnight, esp now when we have a possible home lining up for him. That woman also wants to work wit...

First of all, your an angel who took this pup on, most people would leave such a pup, or put to sleep.. So I really admire that.. I have never dealt with a blind dog, only deaf, and that was quite some work... I dont know any good reading but I found two other sites who are dealing with blind dogs i...

Actually I can see it making good TV, cause the dog I have here, when the false trainer (which is the best I can call him) started yanking Midnight around you could SEE his increased stress level, you also saw when he swung around and bit in the air to warn the guy that this hurt and went too fast f...

Paps do well in hot weathers, the coat is often mostly white so it reflects a lot of the heat. They don't require too much brushing except around the ears where the hair is the finest.. I would recomend 3 times a week however, but they are so small that it goes quickly... However about the earthdog,...

Plea to Victoria, about methods...

Could you please do a special show maybe 1-2 hour where you go through why the dominance/surpressing training is SO bad and show real life examples on how a dog go worse after being surpressed instead of redirected and conditioned. I am sick and tired of how people belive certain other trainers and ...
