    Free dog food - anyone feeding THK - Keen?

    I'm sending it from California. As long as I'm not shipping to Siberia, I don't mind covering the five bucks or so it would be for a usps flat rate package. It ought to fit in their smallest flat rate box.

    Free dog food - anyone feeding THK - Keen?

    Hey everyone! I have a bag of Honest Kitchen - Keen. I bought a box of it but can't feed it to Juno because it's oats/low gluten and Juno needs grain-free (wasn't paying attention >.<) Anyway, it's enough food that I'd feel bad just throwing it out. It looks like there's about 3 pounds...

    Aggression Help - Juno bit another dog

    Sorry this is a late reply. Thanks for the insight and the suggestions. I need to work with her more on focus and a look at that. She's great with focus commands at home, she's kind of awful at it outside. Click to Calm has some suggestions on getting focus out in public, so I'm going to work...

    Aggression Help - Juno bit another dog

    I've had issues with her barking at other dogs in the past. I can't figure out why she barks and goes nuts at some dogs, and she's friendly, fine, and happy to play with other dogs in our complex. For the most part I try to just keep her away from other dogs. She will bark and start going crazy...

    Juno's limping!

    I walked in the door after work tonight and knew something was up. Juno didn't greet me at the door like she normally does. She was laying in her crate, watching me walk in, and she was holding her leg in a strange way. My sister was texting me right then, to tell me that Juno was hurt. I...

    What To Do If Animal Control Knocks on Your Door

    Last week Juno was in a fight with another dog in front of our condo (fight wasn't our fault), and I was scared the woman who owned the other dog was going to try to call AC or make me pay for her dog's vet bills. I remembered reading this in the past, and so I ran inside and re-read it, and...

    Shut down?

    Juno has never responded well to those Gentle Leader halters. She shuts down with one on. I think that with positive reinforcement she would have come to accept it, however, my ex-husband would take it and put it on her and use it to keep her quiet whenever he decided she was bugging him, which...

    Sit Means Sit Dog Training - anyone ever done this?

    Okay, so I met with the new trainer tonight and let me start off by saying WOW. If I had met her first and done a session with her. I would have INSTANTLY known something was off about Sit Means Sit. She was all about positive reinforcement. She groaned and pulled out flyers on "dog myths"...

    Sit Means Sit Dog Training - anyone ever done this?

    Thank you so much everyone for all the words of encouragement!! For the people who were wondering about my dog: Juno is almost a year old. She'll be 12 months on Christmas day. She's about 36-38 pounds. She's female. She was spayed at 8 months. She's a mixed breed; my vet and I have...

    Sit Means Sit Dog Training - anyone ever done this?

    Wow... I left for my lunch break feeling blah in general and I come back to all of this. I really appreciate all of you. I truly do. I'm glad that I found this forum back when I was living in Canada because you all were my sanity when I was going through the young puppy stage with Juno and...

    Sit Means Sit Dog Training - anyone ever done this?

    Okay well, I just e-mailed the company requesting my deposit back. Then I had a frustration-induced cry session in the bathroom at work, lol. I'm seriously very troubled by this and I've been so stressed lately that I think this was just the straw that broke the camel's back and now I'm an...

    Sit Means Sit Dog Training - anyone ever done this?

    By a buzz I mean it felt more like a slight vibration than anything else. He told me that the collar they used was one that they'd made for the program, but that when they were a smaller company they used to have to make them by modifying shock collars so that it was very very mild and just a...

    Sit Means Sit Dog Training - anyone ever done this?

    I'm really confused then, because the guy who came over last night didn't say anything about treats. He commented even on the fact that Juno is very toy and play driven and that can be used very effectively in training as a reward. And the collar he had with him was *not* a shock collar. I...

    Sit Means Sit Dog Training - anyone ever done this?

    I was wondering what everyones thoughts were on the Sit Means Sit Dog Training program. I vaguely remembered someone in the chat room once mentioning it as a good program, I can't remember much as it was a long time ago. I had a consultation with one of their trainers last night and while the...
