Re: Exercise the Mind...

Hi,

Its a good game! My dog loves it!
I also do hide and seek and also some sniffing work ( hiding fruit and vegie's in boxes) When he picks up the smell he sits and looks at the box, then at me!

Re: dog breeds

I would recommend the collies! The border collies need to be exersized more often than rough collies.
Golden Retrievers are a friendly breed too!

Re: Dealing with a dog-reactive dog

Hi, I get my inspiration from the wolf pack. When the dog gets time out, it gives him time to think and realise, that he was separated from all his friends. It does work. But I can understand where you are coming from. Sorry. shepherd103 - could you read through the forums and see the advice we give...

Re: Dealing with a dog-reactive dog

When dealing with a dog of any type that go nuts when they see other dogs in sight is because the dog believes he's the leader and that it's his right to protect and put the other dogs in their place. When the dog goes crazy, calmly take him by the collar and put him in a confined room for 2 minuets...

Re: PediPaws Review

My dog use to be nervous of the Pedi Paw.
But anyhow, I use to turn it on for a while, but I didn't use it on him until he was comfortable with the noise.
Within two days, he loves getting his nails done! :D

I decided to put him on the lead, and I stood tall, took a deep breath then began walking pass my father while he chopped wood. I ma...
