I call because it isn't safe for the dog to be running loose. It is always better to be safe then wish you had done something once something bad has happened. For instance if he/she gets hit by a car.

IMO 90% of the problems are the owners regardless of breed of dog. Like it was stated before, some people have a pit as a status symbol without really realizing what kind of training it takes to keep it in check. You shouldn't take any dog to a dog park to socialize it without previous...

depends on my mood and way too many to start listing, but for right now mostly Vivian Green and Heather Headley.

What a moron.

I know what you mean. I had someone tell me the other day that I should get a male mini schnauzer to breed with Kenzy. I was like nope. I am not a breeder nor will I want to breed my dogs. they kept pushing the issue, finally I was just like why should I breed? Give me a good reason other...

I think that you need to calm down when you are around the dog, and before you know you are going to see him. that will make a difference in his attitude towards you. Also you can do some training when it is just you and him, if you are concerned about you step mother's attitude. You stepmom...

There is this person in my neighborhood that I don't get along with. Well she has two dogs, a Ridgeback/pit and a blue heeler daisy and corey (daisy is the ridge) Well daisy jumps the fence and gets out. She has already had to bail her out of jail a few times and has been told if it happens...

Cool thanks for the info. Kenzy has a ton of fur, but it is soft and straight. Unusual I know. So in that case would it be best to go with or against the grain? thanks again

Thanks for the link and the advice Rob. :D

Thanks so much doberluv, that was tons of helpful advise. I know there is lots on puppy training on the boards, but not always for an adult dog. I will really put your technique to work. It looks like it is simple enough for me and yet something she could really learn. Thanks again guys.

about how long does it take with regular training for a dog to learn to come when it is called? Just an average. For instance we have Oreo who is 5 and her previous owner did some work with her, but never told us the commands he used or how he got her to do certain things. So I was wanting to...

Thanks for all the info, I guess I meant that she lets Kenzy know her place in the pecking order. I have been leash training Oreo since neither of her previous owners ever thought to do that, she constantly pulls at the leash and tries to walk in front, but I don't let her. She is a pretty...

Well she wasn't always, she was fine at first but when we went home for about 6 months she had to share space with my brothers dog, which in that house being as he is the only dog, is the lead dog. and Oreo doesn't eat all her food at once, whereas Blu would and if she left it he would eat it...

Same here. just the insides of a dog.

Well in this house she is the lead dog. Kenzy will back off when Oreo looks at her around food. I guess she has made herself clear to the puppy that she is in charge. ( cinnamon is no longer here, so it is just Oreo and Kenzy)

Tabasco never worked on Blu, he loved that stuff. My dad would start spraying and he would be drinking it from the nozzle. Blu just had a taste for rope no matter what we did to discourage it.

Oreo my mix who is 5 has food aggression issues with other dogs. Now this is a recent development just over the past 2 years. When we had cinnamon our mini doxie they shared a bowl and everything. But when we went home to El Paso and Oreo had to stay outside with my brothers dog Blue, a...

well I am not going to show mine and my breeders SIL shaves those who aren't show quality. if that makes sense. Also I don't really want to get into the whole stripping process. makes me nervous

when you groom your dog do you shave from the neck down or from the tail down. My breeder has offered to show me how to shave Kenzy and I want to take her up on the offer since I don't want to pay 50-70 dollars once a month for grooming. But I have heard different things. For instance my...

Yeah because we all know how good border collies do cooped up all day. I understand some of their reasoning, but you can't expect someone to be with a dog 24 hours a day. Will they fault you when you have a dr's appy or go to the store for more than an hour? I think some restrictions are...
