    Hello from Scotland !

    Hi and welcome and yes, we love pics!! I bet you would have some fun stories to tell about working on that film. I jus watched that movie not to long ago but for some reason I can't remember what kind of dog was in it though...wasn't it a skye terrier in the story? *scratches head* Nice to have...

    Dogs I have for adoption

    If I could I would take Pixie in a heartbeat, I love those eyes and she reminds me of a dog I had growing up, a border collie/austrailian cattle dog mix named Oreo. Unfortunately I have five already and can't afford to take another. I hope you find them all homes and what you are doing is great!

    Anybody want a slightly used Doberman?

    Either that or he will run the other way when he catches sight of the dremel just to annoy you more and then you will have to chase him all about the house...that sounds like what my Beagle would do. Although I like the two liter idea on Orson's part, very creative!

    Happy New Year card for all!

    What are you listening to?

    hehe sorry I realized this just a few minutes ago...I was pretty out of it last night. I have a horrible chest/head cold and I was doped up on meds....never pretty. Sorry, let this one sift to the bottom if you wish.

    Automatic sit on recall-advice?

    Yes, the more I thought about it (breaking down the behaviors) the more it made sense to me. It's going to be hard to totally revamp my way of thinking and training, especially the aspect of thinking of exercises in terms of how many behaviors comprise them. I should sit down and make a list of...

    What else do you belong to?

    This is all so cool! I love seeing what everyone's interests are outside of dogs! I forgot to mention that I have a deviantart account as well. I should look up a a breed-specific forum sometime that would be fun!

    Ceaser Milan

    I've never really watched CM or read any of his books but one day I did happen to catch him alpha-rolling a dog on one of his shows as he was flipping channels. That was it for me, I really don't want anything to do with his methods. The Dominance theory has been debunked in the last few decades...

    Nipping in the face, among other places.

    I don't have a background in dog aggression and unless I miracously obtain one in the next few minutes I won't be able to offer advice with the knowledge that it works or doesn't work but is there any body language leading up to the bites i.e. stiffiening of body, staring, cheeks coming forward...

    Automatic sit on recall-advice?

    Thank you! Yes I think you're right about some dogs being at a disadvantage physically. I guess I just never noticed the "rock" sit verses the "tuck" sit before because the other dogs I worked with never rocked into a sit for whatever reason. Luck on my part I guess. I will start doing that...

    Wtf...

    hehe, my beagle lifted his leg on me right before we went in the ring! I think I just happened to be standing where he wanted to go though, although why he was going indoors is beyond me, maybe another dog went there. Anyways I had to go into the ring with dog pee on my panty hose! As said...

    Interesting behaviour from my puppy?

    That could be it, she just senses that he has different needs. Hopefully someone will reply who knows more than me lol! Thank you I learned something about autism!

    What else do you belong to?

    What other online forums do you belong to? What interests you enough that you joined a forum about it? Anything other than dogs? Yes? No? Maybe. Who knows, you might find someone who belongs to one of the groups you do! I belong to: TalkCSI (for the orginal series) Tattered Torn and...

    What are you listening to?

    On another forum I belong to, this is a pretty popular thread. Basically you post whatever song you are listening to and the name of the artist/band. Right now I'm listening to, "Brave" by Idina Menzel! Who's next?

    Interesting behaviour from my puppy?

    I'm not too familar with the behaviors autism causes but is your son really hyper? Is that what the "high Functioning" means or does that mean that your son's autism is simply more pronounced then some? I'm sorry I don't have any concret advice but I would think that the dog acts differently...

    Automatic sit on recall-advice?

    I just had a bit of an "ah ha" moment here. This is probably something I should have realized long ago but hey it's me lol! When you train a dog a behavior like a recall and you work the entire thing at the same time the dog can learn incomplete portions of the behavior, like not wanting to...

    Automatic sit on recall-advice?

    Adjorts-Hehe, I can see where attaching a leash would work effectively and provide entertainment. I'm out at my grandparents for our christmas celebration and I can already picture my grandpa having a grand time with that. He would probably jerk the leash backwards! IliammasQuest-Thank you...

    Writers Strike AHHHHHHH

    I have mixed feelings on the strike. Quite honestly I see where they are coming from and something does need to be done about some of the things like not getting profit for the DVD sales but on the other more selfish hand...I want new episodes darn it!! I was very excited to see that LOST will...
