I just watched it last night, wow. For the first time, I think they, the producers and judges, messed up, so to speak. Bill did the right thing, he knew Star was older and going up the serious incline might hurt her, so he took the "easier" ramp. Yes, Star did not jump, nor did Andrew, wh...

:D Anyone else have a pooch that barks in their sleep? I love this (Eddie is napping next to me and apparently chasing rabbits and squirrels in his dreams), it is so funny and cute. His legs are going as if he is runing, he is growling, barking, must be one heck of a dream! Da wife says dogs don't d...

First, I read on another board that Galaxy was injured while playing frisbee with JD far after the challenge event but before the teams met with the judges to hear their elimination decision. The scenes from next week indicate that Galaxy is probably fine as they show her participating in another c...

I don't really want to begrudge the judges on their pick, it was difficult enough, I realize that.... griffen --- I don't think Galaxy was hurt during the challenge. She trotted away looking healthy, so I suspect the show is edited to make it look like she was hurt by the challenge when her injury r...

I think it all depends on when they were spayed/neutered Eddie was fixed before he was a year old. I don't know if that is good or bad..Our vet recommended it then, I trust him, we've been with him for years and our dogs love him too... is he usually excited when he does this or is it just a random...

Eddie, a 2 and 1/2 year old Sheppard / Lab mix, is fixed. Yet there are times when he will drag his mattress out of his crate and try to hump it.. Usually this happens at night, after we have finished our exercise and are relaxing before bed. Is this just "normal" teenage behavior? As soon...

Our first dog was a pure bread Keeshhound. My new wife had gotten him for me our first year of marriage, figured I needed a friend while she worked (I had been laid off)... His name? Sir Marshall William (and our last name). Marshall is my middle name, a family name from my father's side of the fami...

the way Cesar uses the heal of his foot is abuse, not matter how hard or soft you use the heal of your foot it is still a kick. The only time he will put a dog on the floor Ah, wow this went right over my head. Now I know why Victoria reacted the way she did and it had nothing to do with JD and Gal...

I don't know if you can respond or not, I know time constraints and other issues.... I do agree, you handled it well, emotions or not. I also agree with getting the message out there about positive training over dominance training. Perhaps I am asking much, but I would like to know, for better under...

I think Victoria made that comment in reponse to Wendy's mentioning Cesar Millan, as she herself has posted in the past that the judges are not shown footage in the house. She made the comment, or started to, right after the other judge said; JD, you are the man, move over (then Victoria makes a sm...

Maybe it's just me, but I found the discussion on dominance vs reinforcement based training a bit non sequitor. Perhaps my attention was diverted from the TV, but I didn't see the event or comment that precipitated that discussion. What happened? What did JD do or what was said that prompted the de...

Wow, biting is an indication she is not only scared, but was seriously abused usually when there was a loud noise present; puppy mill... :twisted: I think you need a live, personal behaviorist to help her over this. When she bit you, where were you in relationship to her when the noise occurred? Did...

Linda, hello, let us start there.. :D Griffin, I think you're missing a lot. revoleiggod has excellent points. Well, missing is a wide term, I see a lot, but saying what I see, on a message board, is difficult to say, given any set of discussion. I do see this show for what it is, now, what were the...

Thanks Matte, this explains perfectly what Eddie is going through right now.. Young Adulthood 18-24 months Many dogs may show a rise in aggression levels during this time. They may become protective and territorial and take advantage of any relaxation of the guidelines set by the owner. Geesh, just ...
