Hope you understand what I am trying to say Perfectly. :lol: As for "correction" let us get this out of the way now. My definition of "correction" for animals, is redirection. Redirect the animal's attention, redirect the parent as well. This way, both the animal and parent can ...

Also, we can manage to distract her attention when we see a dog, but if she gets wind of another dog she loses complete interest in us or any treat and is intent on snapping, barking and pulling towards the other dog. We now use a Halti face collar which has improved her on the lead, and gives us m...

I have a Lhasa Apso who is 1 1/2 years old. I also have a young rabbit who I like to let run free in the back garden. The only problem is that whenever the rabbit moves, the dog chases him, she doesn't want to hurt him but can't leave him alone. The result is either 2 balls of fluff whizzing around...

Mattie, thank you. I am sorry I wasn't clear, I was in a hurry (my pup has a bit of the runs right now) and failed to get more detailed.. I did not mean he was trying to take over the family, more so trying to find his place in the pack. All animals who live in packs do this, yes, at a young age. No...

Ok, time for my first thread... :lol: My pup, a two year old Lab/Sheppard mix is starting to mature. He is an outstanding dog, very smart, crafty and follows instructions well. When he was a puppy, he became very attached to my daughter (he was heart broken when she went away to camp for the summer,...

Spraying with the hose is bad, very, very bad. Please make sure not to try & correct a dog / puppy in this manner. What you end up teaching the dog is that hoses are bad and he will eventually attack those who are just watering their gardens, lawns, or washing the car. It will also take a fun ga...

With all you have to do at the house, I am sure this will be difficult. However, while running is out, try walking her on concrete (sidewalks) and pavement twice a day for @ a half a mile each time. This WILL help keep the nails dull and eventually start to keep them from getting too long. Thus, the...

Northern, those are simply beautiful dogs. I have a Sheppard/Lab mix and we are thinking of getting another dog in a year or so... After seeing and reading about the NI, they would be my first choice, though we are in the US...Do you know of a breeder here? Getting one from across the pond would be ...

Follow her instructions for that dog to the tee; seriously. In a few days you will notice the change in your pup. Pretend to eat first, use a "strange noise" when your pup is doing something unwanted, fold your arms and turn away when the pup jumps or lunges. My two year old black lab/Shep...

I'm late to the party but this is a great show. I understand everything must come to an end, on can only show so many different dog / parenting problems before they become redundant. I haven't missed an episode here in the US, I tivo when I can not watch them. Thankfully, Animal planet runs double e...

For the sake of clarity, the shows in the UK vs the US break down as follows: All of the episodes airing currently on Animal Planet in the US are shows that were shot over the past 3 years in the UK - 4 seasons in total. Animal Planet (US) has bought and is airing all of those episodes. I believe t...
