LOL.... :D

That sounds good Go, Scotty!

basically it's knowing how the pup reacts in a given situation , and having patience . https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/655/21708330533_57ac3e16f6_c.jpg

How good is this ? !! LOVE it.

this week's- a moon-in-blue-sky pic

our sheep, Bruce is enormous .. and we got him after he injured several family members (as a youngster - and demolished the rose garden ) Luckily, now he's into double figures he is keener to run & be by my side if the dogs annoy him than pound everyone into the ground ;) Alpacas sound good! With Trubs - for everyone's safety .. bars are essential .

This is a tricky one , as we don't know what processes you went thru before choosing this pup from this breeder .. we also don't know how experienced at dealing with pedigreed dog breeding you are , or how deeply you delved into the breeder's history before you made your choice. We don't know how this puppy was reared at your home .. whether the breeder specified food/exercise amounts etc - All I can do is suggest you notify the kennel Council in your state , and ask them .

He looks as though he has just been waiting for you to return after an absence .... I am so glad you are together again ;)

Hi - You and your dog need a bit more than a 'trainer'. It needs careful assessment and work by someone who can really understand the behaviour. I suggest THIS PERSON ..who also provides an online course - where you learn more about why your dog is doing this, and how to help . CLICK HERE Excerpt : Some of What You’ll Learn: Reasons why your dog has become reactive/aggressive and what you can do about it. How to determine the difference between reactive and aggressive dogs. Methods to handle reactive/aggressive dogs. How to read your dog’s mood. Reasons your dog is reacting to particular types of dogs. How to use a head halter. What types of leads to use. How to have maximum control over your dog with your lead. What impact it has on your dog’s behaviour if they sense you are nervous. How you being in control helps reduce your dog’s stress. How to make your dog settle down in public. How to move your body to influence your dog in a positive way. I also suggest you drop into THIS THREAD .. all about dogs like yours !

yes..well, aside from the fact she doesn't get out of her pen anymore I'm not fit enough to control her , and we have several white cedar trees which have been dropping berries everywhere for years ..it would end disastrously . poor girl - this wasn't how it was supposed to be ....

Relaxation ... Pudden .

Hmmm ... my radar went 'ping' ;) Facebook page link doesn't work , website link doesn't work ...and twitter account last entry was 2011!!!

Ok .. completely NOT fitting description - BUT https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/499012/adoption_poster

check HERE. Your friends may also not be aware that most dogs that don't shed will need proper grooming/clipping very regularly . They are more work than shedding dogs ;) Some more info just so they make a good choice> HERE and HERE With regard to getting two pups ..this can be a bit tricky . Some explanation is HERE for them I wish them good luck

there are lots off yummy things for pups to chew Antlers, Hooves..and soft/non splintering bones like raw roo tails

Our working (sheep) dogs cut themselves a lot! If it's not bleeding , and the dog isn't paying it much attention , provided all else is equal .. I just bathe it a couple of times a day with some Silver Colloid liquid (health food shop) .. and distract dog with food/cuddles after bathing for 10 or so minutes to let it work

looking down on us all :P

One egg would be enough for a little pup , I think.Add to some meat or kibble for a filling meal , maybe ?

of course you need to use some things ..maybe just not as often ? Why use intestinal wormers or flea insecticide every month if they are not a big problem ? That's all - just use the absolute minimum needed...

@PANDI-GIRLMaybe send Loba a private message and ask her ? there is also this info on the problems they've been working hard on .. CLICK HERE

Why don't you want to do what the vet recommended?

@denali LOVE that street art .

good one!!

Oh .....be still my heart ........... *remembers Kieran* photos are ESSENTIAL . I second/third chicken frames ..and maybe turkey necks whole? Bloat is a sneaky mongrel of a thing - I did all the right things by Kieran for 7 years . One night he grabbed 6 meatybites off the ground - and that was that .
