We've a healthy male Belgian Malinois 13 mths old intact. He did pup classes & then advance classes (conformation). 1 hr sessions was a bit much for him & he was getting bored. We chose to work on his reactivity(kids on skateboards in our street, balls & walks) & do 1 on 1 training, with great results. We don't let him off leash; his recall now is zero. He's on a retractable leash for the 'free' moments. We train him at home or take him on training walks (short leash). He is crated & not ...

We have made it through one year of puppyhood. Wanting to avoid vet RX and other topical poison, do you have any opinion of weekly capstar combined with Wondercide drops? What do you guys recommend? We live in arid climate vs. humid

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 I was wondering. I have almost finished the intermediate obedience course, and I sometimes see video's of dogs that can really hold a command, or hold a specific type of focus and when we the people say 'break', the dog knows it can go and do whatever. Are there courses that zoom in on this behavior? Thank you

I have a 7 year old Belgian malinois, previously my primary PSA/ personal protection dog, whom I got at 7 months old. She was pick of the litter from an Ot Vitosha litter who had a few reactive bites before I got her. They resorted to e-collar corrections for fear of her reactivity. She has become one of the best dogs I’ve ever owned; high drive, great civil, high prey, more praise driven than anything. She is the dog that would kill herself trying to do what I ask. She had a complete fear of ...

I am a Tester/Observer for therapy dogs. Several months ago I lost my 12 yr old Lab.. But with some time, I found a puppy that I will pick up when 8 weeks old. I have no experience training a puppy. Can you direct me to a video or general steps that would help? Very excited about bringing him home but want to do it correctly from the start. Thanks,
