I want to blow this place "leave for the day" and head to down town vancouver to take our new sheltie. she is a little smaller then our last one but need a back pack to put her in for a skytrain ride "no dogs allowed" onto the skytrain. The other option is to put on dark glasses, use a stick...

Missy, One sheltie would bolt out the door, leap over the fence and down the street I knew nothing on this breed 20 years ago. I was doing some car repairs for my bosses car. From my understanding he was a alcoholic. I can only guess he had fits of rage and scared the dog. Every time I came...

I get up...BArk bark!! door bell goes off..goes bolistic. If some one is walking past the fence, bark bark. Noise down the street, runs out into the back yard at 9 pm bark bark. Anyway to Desence her barkiness? Its getting a bit anoying!

its now cnn news and the events happened not to far from where I live. What is the maximum temp/humidity a normal sheltie can handle before it becomes dangerous? The temps these dogs died in was 72f outside 78% humidity. The bed with canopy had one or two vents open but was not enough and...

word come could mean a bad word What I found out, a dog that has a bad experience when asked to come, will no longer come. We have the same issue with our sheltie. She will just stop, sit down and look at me. Use some other word that is like a reward word such as heel and give her food every time.

I was wondering if any of you have used any national dog sitter sites like care.com? Its a good concept if you do not know anyone off hand who may need to take care of your dog or they are not available. I may be interested in one for Vancouver BC Canada.

She still makes a hole and wife #$$% about it..its raining do I carE? Sorry, if she is having fun in our 10x10 back yard then let her. I cannot watch her the entire time. Thanks for CHEWSS!!! ugg, at least she is busy gnawing on one, rather then playing in the back yard. BTW, I thinking of...

She will come running up to me put her paws on m arm and stick her nose in my face. Its cute and affectionate :) She does this while I am lying on the ground and move my head away and she will be persistent with sticking her nose up to me and lick me on the nose or mouth. Last night, got her...

I wonder if a special bark muzle needs to be invented the muzzle wont prevent the opening of the mouth but, with some kind of elastic , it would take more jaw muscle strength to open the mouth. the jaw muscles would tire quickly and thus the dog would bark less or very little. It is a idea that...

all this in the past about 5 months ago All this in the past. BTW, when I looked at her Facebook profile, she liked heavy rock and roll ie, iron maden, and others. I was thinking mmm wonder if she was a rebel in the earlier life. As far as taking back the dog, yes...illegal. Police look at...

She goes into written contracts with the buyers and while I do not know all the requirements, some I feel are to controlling. - Cannot take your dog to a dog park with other dogs. - must take it to obidiance training classes If I could list the rest I would like to. My wife mentioned one of...

I decided to just let the dog dig holes Not doing it as much. Told my dad over the phone and said "you know, since she is making holes, I just fill them with her turds and cover it with dirt. Saves me time. He laughed and said i did not tell my wife that. She still likes to walk off with...

just gong to let her dig I am not worried about it. Wife is the one who yells at me " I cannot watch her all times when letting her out" Its winter, grass is dead so, when spring comes, may till the ground reseed with screen over it. So far, she gravitates to me more then the wife since am...

Microchips are not a guerenteed way to recover your cat or dog. If the person who picks up the animal does not take it to the shelter, then there could be no way that you may never see your pet again. A good point is this case. Cat is returned home 12 years after it became lost...

I actually like animals but they should not take up all your time if you need to work My wife foreces things on me that are totally unrealistic. If I need to leave and market, I should not be home at a certain hour that is what dog sitters do when there owners are working. I put the garden...
