I'm not sure either. I was guessing that both the body block and the about face would be difficult at the front door, so I took a chanceMattie wrote:Gershep1, like you I thought it was when out walking her dog but this confused me so now I don't really know were she and the dog is.

Solid Gold kibble, one can Merrick's per week (split into two feedings on different days), big natural bones for chewing, Zuke's Mini Naturals, baby carrots or dehydrated liver for training treats, a preservative free biscuit before bedtime. Sometimes I'll add fresh meat balanced with rice, sometime...

I believe I saw Victoria do it on Its Me or The Dog in the american show. I believe she said that it was better to body block than go for the colar. I just want to use it to regain eye contact if my dogs go barking crazy. Can I just do about face without saying a word to them so that barking isn't ...

The red car she had was a Jaguar E-series and it is a very expensive and rare car from what I have been told. Makes me sometimes wonder if I am choosing the wrong career path. K9 officer or dog trainer or animal behaviorist. LOL :lol: My first serious boyfriend when I was in college (back when dino...

Clicker games like 101 things to do with a [fill in the blank] is a great game to develop timing and observation skills to catch even the tiniest of behaviors from simple glances, to lifting paws. I think that's how the original TV Lassie was trained, minus the clicker but incredible timing with re...

I really enjoyed this episode and the hour-long format. I was so happy to see the boxer respond to rewards when he saw other dogs. I started using that method a few years ago when I adopted my first Anatolian (a breed prone to dog aggression, though generally not from fear). She was returned to resc...

Sadly, German shepherds have many possible genetic problems. As mentioned in previous replies, investigate the OFA certifications of the breed line. I don't know what country you live in, but unless you are interested in showing your GSD in AKC conformation, I strongly recommend dogs from breeders w...

I however think the shedding just makes Belgian even more special to me and I wouldn't trade it in fr the world. LOL he is a great dog and I love every little thing about the old brown guy. :) I took the dogs to the new self-service dog wash in town. They are clean and shiny. But the Anatolian is g...

Everyone has given a lot of good advice about this, so I can only add a couple of things ... I'm not keen on an air horn or air blower for GSDs. They usually have pretty high prey drive and it can easily turn into a toy to snap at. As for the sniffing, there's nothing wrong with giving a correction ...

To avoid having fingers amputated, get into the habit of feeding the treat from the flat of your hand, like you would feed a horse. My dogs have always taken gently, partly because I make sure they feed nicely from a cupped hand and partly because I never ever let anyone tease them by offering and ...

Another common thing i hear with sep anxiety is many people (self included) want to say good bye to their pets. It becomes a ritual, you grab your stuff, bend down to get in that one last pet and then leave. Make both your commings and goings as matter of fact as possible. If your dog is nervouse a...
