    Crosspost IVDD and Older Agility Dog

    My 9 year old Champion agility dog has recently been diagnosed with a pinched nerve due to disc disease (mild). He has never had any issues. Does this mean our career is over even if he recovers? Is anyone familiar with this?

    IVDD (disc disease) and Agility?

    Does anyone here have experience with IVDD or some sort of disc disease issues in their older agility dogs? My 9 yr old C-ATCH Wrigley just started having trouble. Luckily it is not bad (he can still walk just not jump or climb over things very well)--so surgery is not in the cards yet. Just...

    Many Problems training new puppy..

    training We are still doing that for potty--including giving treats/praise when he is good outside--and when he is out of the crate we take him out about every 45 minutes (2 hours and he definitely would have an accident). Maybe if I feed him a bedtime snack he won't be so hungry at 6am...

    Many Problems training new puppy..

    I am sure I am failing in some way but it's difficult when your other two dogs were so easy to train. With Wrigley I just watched him like a hawk--he had maybe 5 accidents and had no problem at 10 weeks holding it for 10 hours. He tried crying maybe once or twice and I yelled be quiet and he...

    What Breed Is Plinko?

    hmmm those puppies do look similar to him (although his hair is wiry--I suppose it could be a wire haired dachshund) he isn't short though and he doesn't have a long body at all-- The vet suggested maybe some Rat Terrier of some sort too? He is an enigma! :)

    Puppy Laying on Older Dog

    good--it's just weird looking--he lays right over him with his two paws over his middle...they don't really get along otherwise so I thought maybe it was a dominance thing

    Puppy Laying on Older Dog

    Our newest family member (now 7/8 months old) likes to lay over our older male dog. He will place his two front paws right over the middle of the back of my older male dog and lay there-- Should I not allow this behavior? The older dog puts up with it--although he is not friends with the puppy.

    What Breed Is Plinko?

    We were told yorkie/chihuahua mix but I'm not sure (all images I try to look at of this mix do not look like him)-- What do you think?

    "Perfect" age to have a kid?

    personally I don't want 'em but generally all of the reponses you get are going to be what the person has went through themselves or if they are not parents yet then what their parents decided. My mom was 36 and my dad was 49 when I was born. They traveled the world (greece, african safari...

    help me with my newly adopted chi!!

    I know with my skittish small dog (Honey) that me approaching in any way generally means she backs away or runs away. Generally I get a close as she will allow and then stand still and call her calmly "here honey, good girl, come honey, yes good girl" until she comes withing pick up range...

    What Level are you In?

    It's great to see where you are all at--it makes me realize I am not working nearly as hard as you guys are! Wrigley is level 2/3 in CPE and we just joined USDAA and will have our first trial in July.

    Swearing? Your Opinion.

    I too find the C word to be the worst--I don't think I've actually said it out loud in my entire life--I put it right up there with racial slurs in my book of no no's--if my husband ever said the word it would deem a slap to the face--even in jest.

    The right dog for her vs the right dog for me

    How exactly does she react? Growling/snarling snapping? Or avoidance, distrust, etc?

    Rescue dog is scared -hides all day

    My dog Honey was a puppy mill rescue and she lived the first year of her life in a cage--it took about 4-5 months before I think she felt more comfortable--but she will still bolt if something drops on the floor or if a bag crinkles--she also scurries when I call her and will only respond to me...

    Swearing? Your Opinion.

    If they are just words why not choose ones that you can say in front of children and the elderly and not be offensive to anyone? It's one thing to tell a joke or say a few words when out at the bar but it's another to use them in every day conversation.
