Thanks for the reply! No he does not do that on walks. We have all tile floors over concrete so nothing there and haven't seen anything running around the house!!!!

Finnegan has recently started running around the house with his nose to the ground at a frantic pace! He actually wears himself out and it is almost like he is on the trail of something! We have only been in this house for about 2 months but he started this about two weeks ago. I cannot figure...

aggressive female I feel for you and your situation! We have a very dog aggressive female setter mix who is about 9 years old. We rescued her when she was about 6 months old and brought her home to our 8 year old golden (a very sweet boy) She terrorized him and after seeking professional...

Enjoy the puppy! Congrats on your first Sheltie! We too have our first Sheltie, Finnegan, who turned one year old in February. Fun breed - all that your read. Very smart, quick learners and masters of making you do anything they want! Because they are so cute and wonderful, we all spend lots of...

did some checking on chicken jerky Of course when I saw this post with the warnings on chicken jerky I was frustrated and mad because I had just purchased a bag of Wellness Pure Rewards Chicken and Lamb Jerky! It wasn't so much that it is quite expensive, but Finnegan loves it and we have made...

Thanks for the encouragement! It is good to know that all training that has not been secured as a puppy can still be achieved! A good friend commented when we told him we got a sheltie pup, "That dog is smarter than you!". No kidding! I find that they are also good at outsmarting us! Thanks for...

I am so impressed and thankful for all the great information I have received from the members on this forum - so I decided time to join. Finnegan is 11 months old and our first Sheltie. In the past we have had Golden Retrievers, a shepherd/collie mix and rescued an English Setter mix, who is now...
