    Alexa's acting weird!

    Lately Alexa has started to get very very aggressive over the strangest things. She's been resource guarding more than she usually does, she's snapped at almost every single person that's come near here, she's almost killed one of the cats (she would have if I hadn't intervened) and she's just...

    Getting frustrated with life.

    Ugh these past few weeks have just been... grrr.... School has been just retarded, my stupid wisdom teeth aren't coming in right and as a result I now have an infection in my one tooth, right side of my jaw, and right side of my throat. Alexa has been really weird and she's gettin aggressive...

    Dremel

    Have any of you ever used a dremel on your dog's nails? Alexa is absolutely terrified of the clipper but doesn't mind me filing her nails so I've heard of people doing thing and just wondering what you guys think.

    Does anyone...

    Peeing?

    I'm not sure if this should go in health, or training, or whatever, so I'll put it here. Alexa has major anxiety issues thanks to my jerk of a brother, and whenever a some guy friend's of my boyfriend's come over, she pees, randomly. Is she scared, or what's going on? I know a lot of...

    Bleh

    I officially hate the holidays. They're just ruined for me. Last new years, my grandpa passed away. This Christmas, a good friend of mine's grandpa passed away, and then my other grandpa passed a way a couple days ago, along with my best friend's cousin. People on here who live in Alberta...

    :(

    My grandfather died this morning. This sucks. I don't even know what to say, or do, or anything. I can't even cry, I'm just in shock. I knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it any easier. And what makes things worse, is my other grandpa passed away not even a year ago. He went on...

    Red, I love you, lol.

    I fell upon your training page on your website, and I played the "No Lookie No Cookie" and the Recall game with Alexa and it's working amazingly. In the two days she's been at my boyfriends now (and she's here permanently, yay!) i've noticed a huge change in her behaviour. Her anxiety is...

    I should be hibernating.

    It's -46 today. Kill me now, like seriously. I hate our winters. The school should close on days like today, so poor little people like me can stay in our nice warm cozy houses and not go outside. UGH.

    EEEK crisis!! Help please?!?

    So Alexa has always been super super hyper, and I've had quite a few people tell me that it was probably anxiety. I always thought, what the heck could be stressing her out? And well, I found out, and it's bad. My brother has asperger's syndrome, and I guess whenever he gets mad, he takes...

    Argh!!!

    Omg I'm so angry. I don't know if any of you will remember my thread about ranting about my friend's parents and how they don't look after their cat but anyway!!!! So the parents kicked the cat out about 3 weeks ago, and refused to let it back in, regardless of my friend's protests. The cat...

    Interesting Issue & Stupid Story

    So, Sunday night was my Grandma's go away party in her home town an hour away from where I live. So me, the boyfriend and the rest of the family went out. We left Alexa in the back yard to run around and have fun, with the next door neighbors keeping an eye out, like we usually do. So the...

    Just a little idea.

    What would you guys say, if there was a law passed that all dogs that were not CKC, or AKC etc. registered had to be spayed/neutered by law?

    No pull harness = YAY!

    I bought a no pull harness for Alexa yesterday. After only a short walk around the neighborhood (it was cold, lol) she was HEELING. PERFECTLY. IT WAS AMAZING!!! I had taught her how to heel and she'd understand it, but then pull randomly on walks. Now that I'm using this, the minute she...

    Evil neighbors and their evil dog.

    I HATE my neighbors and their dog. Okay, maybe not their dog so much, but anywho. My neighbors have an extremely agressive Golden. I don't know the correct terms (DA, whatever, lol) but oy. They keep their dog outside all the time (even in our freaking -40 to -60 degree winter weather) and...

    Worried about out local SPCA

    K, so I go in there every once in a while just to see if I fall in love with a pup. :) The past few times I've been there and some people I know have been there, I haven't been impressed. My friend was in there and there was a gorgeous Mastiff that she inquired about. It was close to...

    Question about agility

    I wasn't quite sure where to put this, so mods, feel free to move it, lol. But yeah, just a quick question, does your dog have to be purebred in order to do agility? And I've heard that smaller dogs are better for it than larger dogs. True, not true?? I'm asking cuz the other day, my mom...

    Help me brainstorm.

    No, I'm not getting another dog... yet... lol. But I've just been going through breeds and trying to think of a perfect fit for me. :) I already know what my favorite breed is (Rottweiler) but that doesn't necessarily mean that the dog would be properly suited to my life style, etc. So, you...

    little working girl needs help, lol

    Hey, does someone on here know how to make a really good resume? They teach us in school how to make them but I've had soooo many employers look at what we get taught to make and tell me that's not how a resume is supposed to be. I need to make a resume for a job I'm applying for. I've...
