Tantrums....?

I have an eight month old puppy that we work with daily on training. However, he seems to be going through stages of defiance... It started out with the car, he had no problem getting into the car and riding in the car (as a young puppy we used to take him in the car and just drive around the block ...

Re: help! sick puppy...

Thanks for the advice everyone! We called the vet and he told us to monitor during the day and see how we was acting. He did have loose stool, but plenty of energy and his great spirit! We were told we could have him tested for parvo, but since there was no red tint to his stool and no odor we are s...

I haven't used it on my puppy yet since he's isn't shedding at the moment. I have however used it on my cats for the last year! It is amazing. When I'm done I have a pile of hair about the size of my cat. It's so nice to see it in the trashcan and not on the end of my bed or sofa. It is very expensi...

Re: australian shepherds

Within 2 weeks of owning him he can sit, wait, stay, shake, lay down, leave objects, and go to his crate or go to his bed when told to. It takes only a few minutes for him to pick up on a new trick. He's also mostly potty trained with...
