Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2

Just had my post-surgical check up. They all but gave me a gold star to put on my fridge for the awesome healing! I'm now cleared to do whatever I feel up to doing. I failed to tell her that I'd shown a borzoi on Sunday. It was a smallish sized ring so I figured I could make it around without making...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2

Has anyone heard if Amy has had her baby? As you all know, I loathe the 'fur-baby' term that AR groups have inserted into the world lexicon, so I ponder if the 'skin-baby' term will come into fashion to describe actual children........ the ran has me is a weird mood I guess. Either that or it could ...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2

It's pouring by the bucketful today. We need the rain as we're in a horrible drought right now............ dogs didn't even want to venture out to potty this morning. They keep looking out the door to see if it's let up.

I did a bit of googling to check and found this: https://positively.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16601

Deja vu :lol:
I'll need a couple of more repetitions for this new behavior to cement. I'm clearly not as clever as some of the dogs!

Re: Vent!

In other news, not a vent :wink: I'm pretty proud of myself right now (and Laufey but that's another story) I've just passed the kids again to which I got "teacup chihuahuas are real, even my dad and the internet said so" so I calmly asked if they wanted clarification and gave an explanat...

Re: Precious becoming a man(iac)..

I'll give you no grief. You made an informed decision and you did what you felt was best for your particular dog......... that's the best we all can do. I am a firm believer in keeping dogs intact but yet I spayed my ***** after her 4th season. I'd never had a ***** that had the horrible swings in p...

Re: No Mark or No Reward Marker?

I use a whoops............ but it depends on what I'm training. Weave poles for example, you want to let the dog know the moment it's made a boo boo or otherwise, they'll get to the end and might well have done the last 8 poles perfectly........... they wouldn't understand why there is no reward.

You might want to try leaving a little length on he weenie.............. then the hair channels the urine down instead of letting the stream hit the front parts.

Re: my dog saved my life today

Are you still in Cheshire? I can't seem to find any news articles in the police logs about the original murder, your crime report or an arrest, much less conviction............ nor anything about your dog getting an award. Do you have any links?
