I can't wait. I adopted a 6 month sheltie 1 1/2 years ago and now I am adopting an 18 month old sheltie named ringo. He was found as a stray. I can't wait for tomorrow and I will have a family of 2 shelties. I know a lot of you guys have more than one sheltie. What is the best way to...

I had never heard of them. It sure sounds great when looking at their web site. If you don't mind me asking how much is expensive? Can they cure a sheltie barking issue? If so i would be interested!!!

My heart hurts for your family. Losing a family member is so hard. I lost my 11 year old in july and i so miss him. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Welcome..... I have a 7 month sheltie. My very first sheltie and i am learning they are a lot of fun. a few minutes ago i heard some noise in the bedroom and i went to investigate and Jasper was under the bed looking like he found the best hiding spot in the house. He was so cute. My...

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my 11 year old cocker on 7/17/08 to a tumor behind the eye. I miss my dog so much and i know you will go thur the grieving process also. I remember the good times with Hershey and enjoy the new puppy Jasper. Here is a hug. Julie

I do have a question on how to re- teach him sit and down. He knew the difference before the bad experience and now he just looks at me like i don't know what you want me to do. should i just focus on sitting for a couple days and then work on down for awhile and then mastering that --work...

I think i will try the tennis ball just to have a good laugh. Jasper loves his tennis ball and i wonder if he would pick the food or the tennis ball.

Thanks for all the support. I was feeling bad about putting Jasper in the situation but I didn't know she was going to do that. the instructor had used all positive clicker training to that point. It was class number 4!! thanks for telling me it isn't my fault. i needed that. I looked...

Jasper has been with me for a month now. He is now 7 months old. He came from a rescue that got him from an empty foreclosed home with a rope around it's neck. When i first got Jasper, he was a typical puppy i guess--biting at the heels, herding me, and learning the basic commands. we are in...

Update: My friend and I exercised downstairs --Jasper couldn't see me or hear me. He was fine. He barked about 10 seconds ( 5 barks) about 15 minutes into the exercising. afterward the exercising i let Jasper out and he played with my friend and everything was fine. Jasper seems to...

I adopted my 6 month, Jasper 2weeks ago and need some suggestions on training. He does well in the crate when it is bed time or when i leave but when i am home it is a different matter. I put him in the crate when my friend comes over and we exercise twice a week together. Currently the...
