We got our toy poodle from an experienced breeder at 9 weeks in late 2020. Due to COVID, she wasn't well socialized, although she was well behaved (in spite of no formal training). She was exposed to my wife, myself & my 36 year-old son most of the time. I have 2 married daughters, and they now have little kids (1-3 years old). Our dog is generally OK around them, until they cry, screech or run. This excites the dog and until last week wasn't much of a problem. Last week she nipped at a ru...

Our Golden Retriever is 6 mo old now. She is very sensitive and smart. My husband got frustrated when we were potty training her and yelled once - loudly. It scared her badly. Now, she submissive pees infront of him all the time. He has learned by his mistake, but not sure if it can be remedied. He never yells now and is careful not to react when she does sumissive pee. He just cleans it up. He can tell she is going to pee because of her crouching. He now doesn't want to interact with h...

Hello Cindy! I recently ordered a couple french linen tugs and round from you guys and couldn't be happier with them. Though, I was curious how best to clean them after they collect some sand/dirt/leaves/ect from use in the yard on a line? I'm concerned with the sand building up and grinding my girls teeth down and just want to keep them clean overall. Also would there be any difference in cleaning jute or other types of synthetic training toys? Thanks so much!

Hello Ed & Cindy, I'm writing today regarding my mother's year old spayed female GSD. She was purchased by my 18 year old brother who didn't do groundwork before leaving for college. She is loving & intelligent, but extremely stubborn and dominant. I've never had a dog this frustrating to train. She is teetering on the edge of needing to find a new home because of her behavioral issues. I'm hoping that you can suggest specific DVDs and articles that are most fitting for her issues. We'...

We have an almost 7mth Malinois who when we drop off at daycare, is showing separation anxiety. He tries doing these little nips at the staff when they put him in the runs in the beginning of the day. They said the rest of the day, he is perfect; it's just right after drop off happens. He starts crying when we pull up to the clinic not wanting to go but then they say he does excellent all day long! We don't get it. Just want to address the nipping issues because some techs are starting to get a ...

What is the shipping stress on puppies? I will be getting an 8 week old German Shepherd by air. The flight should only be one to one and a half hours.

Hi there. Is an agitation collar purely a personal preference in terms of width? My dog weighs about 70 pounds and the 2 inch collar I got looks big. I did not consider finding more about best practices for fitting a collar before I ordered. To be honest. I am beginning to learn more about protection sports, not sure which I have more affinity for and I’m just kind of dipping my toe in so to speak.

hello Is there any advice on what to do when riding through countryside or anywhere and having dogs start to chase the bike other than to stop but some dogs are really scary and huge and some very aggressive

Hi, my dog recently started having seizures. He is 7 years old and is e-collar trained. His last Seizure was 2 months ago and he is not on any medication for them. Should I stop using the e-collar because of this?
