persephone

So sorry - she looked a lovely little girl .

yes!!!! Much more suited to his lordliness ;)

Whilst in harness .. really gee her on ... get excited and use a command word .. maybe get someone to go ahead of her ... then lots of praise for pulling IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE ;) She will soon learn that harness plus ***word = PULL

Nooo.... the full title!

;)

What, No nameplate? "Elspan Barkly Blue, esquire" ???? :p It looks lovely !

That's a great reply Hope your vet concurs .

..at 16 mths she's hardly a puppy .. and her behaviour may therefore be harder to alter . Does she LOVE carrying things? I have trained labs who, when carrying a rolled up paper or something, would walk out happily and full of confidence, tails going .. without the object .. they would present very different body language....

happier update here's hoping!

our 'pack' outside howl every night .. usually just on dark.. then again around midnight ... just for a couple of minutes ....

That's sad.. I hope mumma cat is healthy again soon, Kirty...

A sad year for you Run free Denzil & Max ..play HARD!

A cute fat muttley

I'm glad Zeuss is seeing the vet ..hope your shoulder recovers ,and you sleep well.

K9angel It may be unwise to treat Zeuss unless you know exactly what the problem is ..... get his blood done- and then you will know exactly what his levels are. feeding him something now may well muck up any blood tests he has to have in the near future...and may not help. having read that site ... they seem confused as well ;) two VERY different conditions mentioned in this paragraph It does not make me confident :0

To me ,( i may be wrong), this sounds like a " I can see something I'm not at all comfortable with .. I don't quite know what it is ..it may be unfriendly" vocalisation ..rather than 'warning you' .. Then when it comes closer and he can smell/see it's a human- he is all ready to be friendly

She's very pretty Perhaps german shepherd X? Or kelpie? Bit hard to tell from close ups

Good luck with the specialist app't. ..hope you get good news

sounds a bit nasty ... poor girl. I hope you can get some answers soon.

I buy mine online ..or at the vets . In our town it's not readily available elsewhere

You need to get to the skin ..there are instructions on the bottles .You will need to buy a spray bottle to mix it in .

using sprays on a dry coat ensures the spray is not further diluted by moisture in the coat ;)

Hi You have a breed who is bred to be independent . You have a teenager. You have a mixed breed - so you can not be sure what other traits will pop up ;) can you put up a photo or two - we may be able to narrow down her ancestry for you? Is there any chance of you either getting in a trainer.. or attending classes somewhere? That would be great! As to training methods- there is no 'one size fits all' They all depend on the dog - the handler, and the circumstances. ALL training involves much work, and hours and hours of practice - not moving on to the next step until the first step is perfect ;) You may also want to post in the thread full of huskies ..the Spitz Thread CLICK HERE
