TTouch I have used it on Sunny before. I did not attend any "official" training, however at my agility intructors advice I bought the book "Getting in TTouch with your dog". Sunny is very shy, and nervous in unknown situations, so my instructor recommended it for making her feel more...

Go Izzie!

I don't have lots of ribbons yet, but I painted a wall in Sunny's room to display them on. I keep meaning to take a picture but I never remember. I really like that quilt/pillow idea! I may have to borrow it ;) I'm thinking I may do something special for milestones (like if Sunny ever...

I have one for Sunny. I have used it for her at agility trials since she has become anxious with all the people. It seemed to make a big difference in how calm she was. She was able to focus on me, and actually think instead of just panicking. I haven't used it for anything other than trials...

Awesome. Izzie is so cute!

I have one of those, but it is from the Bamboo brand of dog products. http://www.bamboopet.com/products/detail/dog/1/3/810289 It's not the same brand, but I find that it works really well! It does reach the bottom of my tub (when it's straight it sits on the bottom of the tub with a bit...

Yay Izzie pictures! These are so awesome, I'm so excited to see the rest of the year :)

I'm sure you'll get more experienced people replying to this, but for now I'll throw in my two cents :) I started Sunny at home with Backyard agility. We live about an hour away from everywhere that has classes so I didn't want to pay for classes and travel in case she didn't "take" to...

I don't have any medically relevant to add, however I have two Norbottenspets and one has a curly tail and the other does not. (Technically the male is my brother's dog) The male has the tail (hehe) and like you say, when he's depressed/ stressed/ upset it goes all straight. Sunny has the...

Awesome! I'm looking forward to that :) We currently feed the duck and sweet potato formula, but I will be looking to the grain-free once it makes it's way here. On a side note: you're the only one I've heard of, other than myself, that even knows the brand Fromm. Nevermind that you once...

^-- This! Yes, sharks are scary. If I was in the water one could easily hurt me. I've never even been swimming where they may be sharks. I'm just terrified of them. I can't even stand to see one on TV. During Despicable Me, when the cartoon! shark jumps out of the water I can't even...

Aww! Great pictures :) Yay Izzie for weaving in the snow! Sunny loves to run agility in the snow, but she's such a putz she usually falls down.

- opening the back window in the car (even when the dog isn't present) when it's below zero so that they can see out - knowing everything you eat has dog hair in it. And not caring. - I second "not going to the bathroom alone" - putting vistors shoes on the other side of the babygate...

I second (or third? I can't keep track) this vote, as well as the yum :D
