How many times per day should I be practicing with my dog? I've been using the method that Victoria describes in her book, which is very similar to this, but so far...we haven't gotten any farther than in front of my house. We take several short walks per day so that she can potty and one very long ...

Need some creative ideas

Nia is a 5 month old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She was spayed this past Wednesday. We're supposed to keep her quiet until her sutures come out. Tell that to a Corgi puppy! I've upped the amount of times we do training (we're clicker training) and we take her on slow leash walks...which aren't going so w...

Thank you again for the advice. I really appreciate it. Once Havoc is on her way upstairs, Ivy stops. She doesn't actually run up the stairs after her. We have gates :-) I'm a fan of them, too. I've been making sure that the kitties get playtime upstairs with Da Bird, which is the greatest cat toy e...

Ivy is so cute and happy to see people that they kind of brush me off when I try to ask their help to preven...

Thank you so much for your response. I can't tell you how grateful I am. I feel so badly for Havoc and Ivy! Havoc loves to be with us, especially my husband, but she's not so happy about coming downstairs these days and I'm finished giving Ivy corrections with the collar. We paid him over $500. That...

Dog still chasing the cats

I am desperate for help! We adopted a 7 yr old Corgi named Ivy about 6 months ago. We already had 3 cats when we brought Ivy into our family. Ivy came to us with some very bad habits, including biting, and we spent what for us is a small fortune on a trainer. Ivy is very smart and improved very quic...
