Don is truly gorgeous, especially when he has one right and one wrong ear. :laugh: He does have the most dreamy eyes. :D -
Oh PD I am so very sad that Doof has gone to the Bridge. Huge hugs to you and your family.

I can also recommend Broadmeadows Obedience Dog club. I go there along with several other very experienced Rotty owners. Also check out the Rottweiler Club of Victoria website. We are hoping to start training at Bulla again in September. http://www.rottweilerclubofvictoria.com/ -
What a stunning pillow pet.

Exercising Reactive Dogs Thread
grumpette replied to megan_'s topic in Training / Obedience / Dog Sports
I have decided to give up on trying to get people to keep their dogs contained, as the last attempt resulted in some stalking from the resident concerned. I will not take the risk of my dogs being baited or let out. So I am now trying to modify my behaviour to keep my dogs under thresh hold and calm. The dog that regularly attacks us was out again last week when I was walking by. I walk each dog separately as it is just safer that way. I got each dog to practice heeling, so that I was between my dog and the other dog, which was on it's property. We just kept walking, with me watching the dog out of the corner of my eye. Thankfully the bloody thing did not charge, and my dogs did not react, or notice. So far this has worked three out of four times. Me yelling at the dog to dog away only puts Dee over thresh hold, but it does get the stupid owner to call their dog off. It is so bloody hard to remain calm as you approach the house, because you don't know if the dog is going to just sit and watch or bloody rush and attack. -

I'm pretty sure my landlord might have something to say about that! OK how about a Justice feature wall? I am sure that he would add value to the house -

Snook you will get back to that wonderful place were Justice will be the calm dog that you desire. This time it will be easier as you have laid the ground work. For now, rest and regroup. Huge hugs and lots of calming encouragement. -
I feed Zeph sardines in oil and raw egg a few times a week and that helps his coat and skin. He has very little undercoat so the increased washing for nursing home visits tends to dry out his coat as well. I also use Aloveen shampoo and conditioner.

Absolutely brilliant news about Zephyr. I am so rapt for you both :D

Good luck!! He looks like he really loves his "sandpit" though... T. That's the idiocy dose for the day ;) Nice & soft to run on - and at his own pace .... So that would be flat out then? I swear Don has two speeds: flat out and stop. Good luck finding that half speed gear. :laugh: -
Our last snow fall here was in October 2010. These were taken in our backyard Dee Baylee Zeph eating snow Both Zeph and Baylee chased snow balls and they could not understand why they kept melting when they caught them.

I love Gruf's magical place. To tell you the truth my guys would much rather hang out amongst the rocks and swim in the river than play in the snow, so I think your photos are brilliant GrufLife Kirislin fantastic photos of your guys. It amazes me that they do not freeze in the cold, but looking at the one of Neek he is none to impressed with the cold white stuff. I love the activities that Esky and Fritz get up to. They always look like they are having an amazing time and thoroughly enjoying themselves.
