When Jake spots a bird or something, his tail curls right over his back like a spitz, during ringcraft I have to use a command to get him to keep it down otherwise he slowly lifts it above his back level, I feel bad telling him off for effectively being happy but its not what they want in a show...

I have a sheltie and an Inuit dog who is a little smaller than a GSD and they got on brilliantly http://pic60.picturetrail.com/VOL1723/8342838/15558242/322216088.jpg http://pic60.picturetrail.com/VOL1723/8342838/21701703/362471211.jpg As you can see quite a size difference especially as...

Jake will still make a bee line for my other dogs, but luckily Dante is pretty clockwork so I just pick it up after he has been, I figured if im going to the affort of spraying it with something nasty tasty etc, I may as well just pick it up :lol: What does gross me out is Jake licks D's wee...

Another thing how long did you try the DAP for? It took about 4 weeks to have an effect with Dante (this was the diffuser type)

I sadly have a dog who is now 2½ and still has SA, he cant even cope with me popping upstairs but with my OH he is 10x worse, (Jake just bounces around waiting for his Kong :lol:) These are two articles they may help. http://www.deesdogs.com/documents/teachingyourdogtostayhomealone.pdf...

They are nosey arent they :lol: Yup, everytime I go in the kitchen I have a follower, if I go upstairs I can hear him race to the bottom of the stairs so he can watch me walk up them (he good boyo, doesnt go up the stairs unless he's told to), Ive even seen how many time I can go between two...

Elaine, to my knowledge dogs arent generally sold in petstores over here, its certainly not common practise and I have never seen them being sold in shops, but think there is still one or two places that do. Sorry to hear about Merlin Debs, a hello from the UK too and I cant give any advice...

Jake has grown up with hubbys Inuit dog, who is very friendly and happy (unless we leave him) and I think it has made a difference, they will quite happily race around and even playfight, The Inuit knows his strength and is careful, Jake isnt scared of much at all and is very confident. Ive...

Yes sadly Jake is a face kisser, but I have explained to the kids not to let him kiss their faces for said reason :rolleyes2:

Ironically, Jake has recently started doing this, eating my other dogs. I try to pick up straight after he has gone, but it can be tricky at night when I cant see or if Im not here and someone else is who doesnt think to pick it up. Yukky habit and Jakes breath does stink, just going to try...

Yup. Dante is two and fixed and Jake is 10 months and not fixed and there havent been any 'handbags' between them yet nor no sign of it :yes: I did worry about two intact males but we were getting Dante done anyway. I hope to bring a girl in in about 6 months, I just hope it doesnt throw...

Jake has a very soft coat and he's a blue merle, so soft he has a slight wave but I have always said Im not going to be put down for him having a nice coat in the ring :razz: I dont treat his any differently except I have been told not to put a slicker near him as this can break the coat, so...

Thank you Crystal :smile2: He didnt do too bad, his first show he got 2 x 2nds, his second show he got Best Puppy in Breed and Group 3 Pastoral which was good :yes: so pleased with him so far.

Aww thank you, thats made me feel better about them :yes: Yes sorry, not a good photo, but he still barks at the camera so his ears go back, this is one of the few face ones and even then they have gone sideways a little lol. Thats the thing Barb, I have shown him twice and have another...

Oooooooo I have been glueing and fussing around with Jake's ears since 10 weeks. He's now approaching 10 months and his ears are still too high. Do you think now is the time to accept this is how they will be? http://pic60.picturetrail.com/VOL1723/8342838/20413311/353331562.jpg I...
