I am so glad she was ok! This sounds like a great group! There is also national snakebite support and they will help with dogs! I printed out some of their information sheets to have on hand because we live in the south and I worry about snakes...

Hey guys, for those in the states I hope you had a great thanksgiving despite the times. We're working really hard on the basics right now. He knows down, sit, leave it, drop it, come and focus. He knows stay and I can now walk around him and away from him in low distraction environments and I...

I’ll look up clean run. I am expecting to make an investment in our training so I don’t want to skimp. I’d hate to cut corners now and have Kester get injured because I taught him wrong. The few classes I have found don’t sound like they have you submit videos for review or anything which I...

Thank you for such an in depth response. We have a trainer we’re working with and you’ve made me feel so much better about the process as we are using “yes” as a verbal marker, focus (look at me) though I could work with him more on this and leave it which is basically stop what you are doing...

poor Kip. I hope he feels better soon and you get some answers :hugs

Can you share a pic of the mushrooms? And your location? I might have a way to see if they are safe.

I just need him to tolerate it for the test! I almost feel like it’s prejudiced against dogs who don’t want to be touched. If my dog sits and my feet and doesn’t care that I am talking to you how is he not a good citizen? Trainer suggested having strangers feed with one hand out to the side and...

Oh yes, one problem with a pandemic is all the drive through stops! Chik-fil-a is the least favorite because they stand by the window :playful:

Well I sat down at the table this morning with my coffee and cereal. Hadn’t taken a sip of the coffee yet when *whack, whack, whack* something starts hitting my pant leg. I look down... oh good lord is that dirt?! Turn around to find Kester digging in my potted plants. He was pretty proud of...

Oh wow thanks for the info! It confused me a bit because I follow a breeder on Instagram and all of their sable puppies are really fluffy (but maybe they are combing them somehow?). I love the sable colors. Your girl is so lovely. We couldn’t pass up a blue Merle when the breeder said he was...

of course! I don't know if you can see a difference, but the texture is so lovely.

So So fluffy. I didnt think it would be that much of a difference, but he is so soft. I love puppy fur (and not in a creepy Cruella DeVille way :whistle:).

we're only 5 months, but as his adult coat starts coming in it is a few shades darker then his puppy fuzz. we'll see if it keeps going. He has a mowhawk of adult fur coming in down his back. puppy and now

Hi Ed and Beau! I am a little late to the welcoming party. We picked shelties because of their gentle way with kids too (Although our 5 month old puppy thinks it is his JOB to herd our son). My pup is a blue merle named Kester.
