    Stubborn Sheltie

    Much progress was made this morning. I got a muzzle from PetSmart earlier this week. I had been trying it out on Simba once a night to get him used to it, its like a leash to him (leash means going outside to him) and doesn't bother him to much. Took him outside, put him in his walking harness...

    Just got a sheltie

    we adopted a 2.5 year old sheltie this last week. As far as we know he was brought in voluntarily by his last owner. He is very shy and cringes when you try to pet him. We are wondering if this is a sign of abuse? When strangers come around he will hide, the other day he was so scared of my...
