Yesterday my dog developed very scary symptoms... Over the course of a couple of hours he lost his appetite, lost his interest in fetch, was off balance and at the peak of episode he couldn't even sit up and briefly seemed to have a seizure (for like 10 seconds). Obviously the whole fam was...

I'm taking my dog into the woods for about 6 months and want to do some training work with him. I'd like him to get a canine good citizenship award, train him to be a therapy dog and start agility and maybe tracking training. What are 3 or 4 books that I could order in advance and take with...

I'm curious to know how many people use these products? Dousing a dog in pesticides for its life seems dangerous...on the other hand, dealing with heart worm or lyme disease also seems scary. My roommate and I are both leaning towards not using this stuff...my roommy is from serbia and knows...

i want to work one on one with a smart, accomplished trainer who believes in respecting not dominating dogs. if anyone knows of someone in boston let me know. i did a search of the forum and didn't find any other threads on this, forgive me if i missed it.

jack having fun with some dogs. the little brown dog he's wrestling with is my cousin's 3 yo female pit, dizzy. dizzy is perhaps the cutest, fastest, coolest pit ever. there are more pics of her to come.

i've noticed my dog jack gets a lot of unwanted attention. he's intact and i'm curious if that is the reason? i won't get into a lot of detail because this happens often, wondering if other people experience this?

here are a few pictures of my dog jack and some other dogs too.

Today I had a particularly unpleasant experience at one of my local Boston dog parks. This is a relatively small, very active, fenced in dog park and it was just after 5pm on a beautiful day, so it was busy. Jack, my dog, and I had been there for a few minutes when a very pretty husky type...

I rescued my dog Jack off the side of the road about 4 months ago and he's roughly 10 months now. Jack is generally calm, well behaved, great with most dogs and all kids and adults. He's lived with 2 different dogs in the 4 months since I've had him and has met/played with at least 100...

I rescued Jack, a dog that I (and the vets I took him to) assumed to be a shephard/husky mix. Today at the beach I met a woman with a dog that looked just like Jack and her dog was an Entlebucher Mountain dog. So this woman thinks Jack is an Entlebucher, any opinions? Anyone know anything...

I was living with family (including a 3 year old shih tzu named Cooper) and recently relocated about an hour away with my dog Jack. Cooper and Jack got pretty tight during the 1 1/2 months that they lived together. Cooper was particularly infatuated with Jack and the separation has been tough...

I am clicker training Jack who seems to be pretty smart, at least comparing him to other dogs I've known. Jack exhibits behavior which indicates to me that as a pooch, he gets it. BUT, he's not hearing me with the clicker. I'm using Pat Miller's book and we started with his name, which he...

I have a mutt, shepherd mix, about 8 months old. I've had him for just over a month, rescued him from the side of the road in rural Missouri. He's an awesome dog (as long as he gets enough mental/physical stimulation). He's unusually calm, plays well with adults, kids and other dogs. He's...

:yikes: I recently brought home a roughly 7 month old, 30 lb, male, non neutered mutt. The vets, groomer and friends/family have said he's likely got Australian shepherd, border collie and some pit bull in him. We're calling him Jack. I live with family and they have a 3 year old, 15 lb...

Does anyone know of any good portable, expandable, light-weight exercise pen? I'm looking for something that could be used to train my dog when a fence isn't available. Does something like that exist? I did some searching but couldn't find anything.

I recently acquired an Aussie mix 6 month old puppy. I didn't know a ton about dogs in general and nothing about this breed in particular until I had the puppy. I want to raise/train him proroperly so I'm going to have a lot of questions for the forums. Phil [/IMG] [/IMG]
