    Odd pup behaviour..any suggestions?

    Thanks for the feed back. Yes if you act excited and walk / jog he will , for some odd reason , usually follow. As far as the car goes , we did try for a few days just letting him hop in , gave him some treats and played with him. As soon as we closed the door and went for that short drive , he...

    Odd pup behaviour..any suggestions?

    About a month ago we adopted a 5 mo old mixed breed rescue pup (supposed to be part Lab). He was supposed to be leash trained according to the SPCA. We loaded him in the car and brought him home. He got sick (barfed) in the car but we put that down to nervousness. He settled in quickly and...

    The waiting (new puppy) is driving us crazy..

Taking them for walks , just being outside with them , taking them to various parks for a picnic and change of...

    Please vote against Pit Bull banning in Calgary, AB

    The problem I have with dogs like Pitbulls is that they are like a loaded gun. Perfectly harmless and just a dog..until you pull the trigger.Then they are deadly. Unlike most other breeds , when Pitbull goes into attack mode , virtually NOTHING can deter it. Why anyone would even want such a...
