Congratulations! Chocolate Labs are my favorite breed. The one who lives with me actually belongs to my sister. Chocolate was rescued by my uncle from a bad breeder. She had been kept to use for breeding. When they found out she was born infertile, they tied her to a security light pole by their hou...

Welcome Dawn, and welcome to any new members I may have missed.

I'm still working on the "stay" command myself with Tyler. He seems to think if he moves slowly enough I won't notice it. Puppies are such a hoot!

Good luck on your training!

To me, this sounds like the way mine play with each other. Onyx will do the same thing to Tyler, wanting to be chased. At first Onyx only ran because if he turned around it scared Tyler. Now they chase each other through the house. They never wrestle or get rough, just run everywhere. It is hilariou...

Thanks for the tips and links. Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. I've been fighting a cold. The links were very helpful.

I have a nine week old miniature daschund puppy, Tyler, who is scared of everything. He is the runt and was bullied by his siblings a great deal. He was with his mother, a brother, and a sister until last Friday. He and his sister were supposed to be kept by my sister, and he belongs to my nephew. T...

I'm wondering, does she ignore the commands when she is farther away from you? At 7, she is becoming a senior citizen. It could be that it's getting harder for her to see and hear over the distances she used to. Physical changes that come with age can also contribute to behavior changes. Old people ...
