Thanks Caro. I really hope it never happens again. My sheltie is such a confident little dog that I would hate for her to lose that. Thanks so much.

One of my shelties does not seem to like many other dogs. She loves our other sheltie, and there are a few dogs at the doggy daycare and at the park she will play with, but otherwise, she growls at them to back off and leave her alone. Most of the time, the other dogs just back off and leave...

I have two Shelties (13 months and 11 months). They are wonderful dogs, but my goodness, they are barky! We have a fenced in backyard, and, although my neighbours are incredibly good about it, I can tell that their patience is wearing thin when our shelties bark at everyone or everything...

Thank you Thank you everyone so much for your replies! It does sound like this is just her personality. My suspicion, from reading your replies, is that my other sheltie may possibly start to become a little less social with other dogs too? Thank you again, I really appreciate your responses.

Thank you, everyone so much for your comments and advice. This as my first time posting, but this forum is amazing and full of wonderful people! We have decided to go with the puppy! We will make sure that each dog has individual time with both my husband and I; as well as time together...

Hi, We have a four month old sheltie who is the first dog that we have ever had. We brought her home when she was eight weeks old, and, with frequent walks in the dog park, puppy socialization classes and some doggie daycare, she really is a very socialized puppy with both people and other...
