    What is your definition of a working dog?

    My definition is a dog that does something that assists people with their jobs, because of the special skill set the dog possesses. SAR dogs help find missing persons, because they have better innate tracking skills than most humans. Police dogs sniff out drugs and help protect the police...

    Trick Video Advice

    For all you who post videos of your tricks & training, I have a few questions. What kind of equipment do you use? I have a digital video camera, but it records to DVD-R and can be a pain to upload. Is it best to have someone else record, or to set up the camera and then stay within that...

    who does the dog related stuff at your house?

    We have a pretty even split... of all our household chores, now that i think about it. It sometimes depends on our schedules - when Mike doesn't have morning classes, I give everyone breakfast and let the dog out to potty. He usually feeds them dinner, but if he isn't able to for some...

    Does your SO let you bring home dogs?

    I want it to be a mutual agreement. I could go out to the shelter, pick out a dog and bring it home, and he would be annoyed but would still welcoming and end up loving the dog. Jaeger was just mine when we got together. When we got engaged, my dad said he was expecting it ever since Mike...

    Trick of the Week: Hug!

    Question: is "sit pretty" a pre-req for this, or can it be used to help teach sit pretty? I'm not sure Jaeger's core is strong enough to hold himself up, since he doesn't know sit pretty yet (I mistakenly thought it's really difficult for big dogs so i never tried it).

    Shameless Bragging

    Jaeger has an excellent "bang", and i've been trying to use that to lure him into a roll over, but he seems to hate doing it because he's got a kind of bony back. Thanks for the inspiration to keep trying!

    Off Leash Illegally?

    I let Jag off leash from the car to the gate at the dog park, because i know he's going to race to the gate and then whine for me to hurry up and open it. Other than that, not really anywhere illegal. It might be listed at some of the places we hike off leash that dogs should be kept under...

    Your Dogs Name: Why You Chose The Dog Name You Did

    When I was in college I had a "brilliant" idea one night to have a menagerie named after booze. I had a parakeet named Buddy and said i was going to get another one named Wiser, and cats named Captain and Morgan. And someone said that a pit bull named Jager would fit. A few years later when...
