Has anyone tried bully sticks? they smell gross but my dogs love them. does anyone have any feedback on them? thanks!

Wellness We feed our shelties Wellness too, however, I was just searching the web and found this you tube video. Do you think this is true? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB6K2BBd518 what do you think? I thought Wellness gave our shelties a beautiful coat.:confused2:

suave shampoo the breeder we bought one of our shelties uses suave shampoo on her dogs - she has about 10 dogs. I thought it was because it was cheaper than regular dog shampoos. I never tried it but I too read that it drys out their skin. Plus when we purchased our pups, i bought puppy...

I'd like to purchase a dog fur dryer but have no idea what kind to get. Can anyone give me any suggestions? I recently called our vet because I wanted to get them shampoo'd and they charge $60 per dog! ouch! Its too cold here to let them dry on their own. Thanks and Happy New Year...

Telly Sheltiemom, Telly looks great. I too have an extremely furry/fluffy sheltie. He is blowing his coat but has so much on his rear. I was afraid of using the furmanator because I was concerned that it would remove the top coat and leave his undercoat, which is the cause of the fluff. I...

thanks Maguiregirls! shedding or not, these dogs are great! they make us laugh and have such great personalities. I can certainly understand why you can't just have one! :biggrin2:

I have 2 shelties - one with a longer smoother coat (he is 12 months old) and the other with a very thick fluffy undercoat, which makes him look overweight (he isn't - he is 10 months old). We are relatively new sheltie owners and I love reading all your suggestions. Anyway, our older one is...

agility That's great. We took our two sheltie boys to their first agility class this past weekend and they loved it. They always get lots of physical exercise so hopefully this will challenge them mentally too....we're told it will. That said, they were exhausted that night and passed out...

2 shelties are great Congratulations on choosing 2 shelties. We started with one in February. Chase was 3 months old and in June, we bought another male Sheltie, Connor from a different breeder who we were familiar with. Connor is a month older and they both get along great. Two is just...

We've had pretty good luck with what was recommended while at Petsmart training. It works pretty well for cars or other distractions. We have Chase "watch me" by showing him a piece of food/snack and bringing it up to our forehead so we make eye contact. It took a few weeks but he got the...

Well made it through dinner. We tried the keeping the separated and did better than before. Keeping the aggressive one on the lead and putting more space between them was helpful...thanks for the suggestion! I'm sure with a little more work they'll get the hang of it!

We jumped right into shelties feet first by getting a lovely boy (now 7 mos old) and just got another boy (9 mos old). The 7 mos old is neutered but we have to get the 9 mos old boy taken care of in the next few week. So far no major fights, just lots of running around chasing eachother and...

Does anyone have a problem clipping their Sheltie's nails? Our 6 mos old goes ballastic when we try to do them. One of us trys to hold him still while the other clips, but the way Chase reacts you'd think we'll killing him. He flips out and we ususally have to bail out after only getting one...

Jade Mist Memo Our Sheltie's dad is also Jade Mist Memo, his mom is Casmor Marla. Chase is a beautiful (6 months old) sable and already has a very thick coat. Memo sure does get around! I was actually wondering what type of brush or comb does everyone use. Does anyone recommend a...
