Okay, So new question. When Layla gets tired she tends to act out. Such as.. Chewing on things she's not supposed to chew on, not responding to "no" or other noises i make with the same meaning, or trying to bite. When she acts this way i usually put her right in her crate and she goes to sleep...

Ok, so last night she went the whole night without waking me up. I figured it would go on for a while, but to my surprise she didnt wake me until this morning. Hrm.. Could it be that she was just getting used to her surroundings? Or could she really have learned to hold it that long as quickly...

haha. I'm trying to visualize what an austi-pap would look like, but i can't. I tried looking for some pictures but i couldn't find any.. Yeah, i thought she would be afraid the first time i took her to the dog park, but she was in the small dog pin and whined and whined when i made her...

My pup is a bit older than yours, but some of this behavior is the same. Last night after i took her out to go to potty she wouldn't settle down and go back to bed (around 2:30 am). I tried everything to get her to go back to sleep, but found that the only thing that settled her down was taking...

Herding the balls is a good idea. And she is adorable : ) I've taken her to dog parks to socialize her before, but the vet said that i should probably wait to continue taking her until she gets her last set of shots a few months from now. She is up to date already though. She is...

Yeah, i just watched some of the videos about those since the topic was brought up.. and now i feel horrible for supporting something like that. Layla is an adorable pup but i can't even imagine what her family went through. I hope she stays in good health like she has now.. and continues to...

I'm sure that's not true in every case. And she's not doing it to harm me.. She's just trying to play. I'm just worried about when she grows up because she might harm someone on accident. And you're right Gempress.. just because she came from a pet store doesn't mean she's doomed. Nor does it...

Well, All i've been doing for days has been researching. That's what brought me to that method, and i didn't know if that was considered cruel or if it was a reasonable method. I signed her up for puppy classes a few days ago, and she starts next week. Her breeder is in MO, and i got her...

hello. Last thursday i got a adorable mini Australian Shepherd (almost 3 months old)and named her Layla. She's a very active and sweet dog. Instinctually, she tries to herd me in the backyard by nipping at my feet and laying down to wait for me to move so she can nip me again. However, sometimes...
