Raisin Won't Sleep Through the Night
Posted March 2nd, 2010 by nburikHi Aidan:
You helped me and Raisin last summer when I was having a difficult time walking her. Now I'm back with a different problem!
Raisin is now 10 months old. To date, she has never slept through the night. My husband and I go to sleep around 9:30-10:00pm. Raisin sleeps in her bed, in our room, and there is a baby gate up the prohibits access to the rest of the house.
Recall Training
Posted February 21st, 2010 by gcpetsI got one of your "lessons" and it was dealing with recall training.
{quote} Next, get a helper to play this game with you, calling pup back and forth. You don't need to toss the treat away from you, give pup the treat then have your helper call pup. Do this for a few minutes, as often as you can get help. {/quote}
What if you do not have a helper or cannot employ one ?
What is your suggestion for the next step in that lesson ?
Laser Pointer

Dog Dominance NOT a Fact ?
Posted February 5th, 2010 by gcpetsI received this as a reply to a comment I made on a YouTube video:
neither wolf nor dog dominance is not a fact. Read dunbar, Coppinger, Mech, Semyonova, McConnell, McDevitt, Overall among others. Aggressiveness, yes, but not dominance. resource guarding yes, but the same dog (a) that guards a food resource against another dog (b), will have no problems vacating a sleeping place to dog b, if that resource is not important to him or if it is more important to dog b. So dogs themselves have no concept of dominance.
Is This Separation Anxiety or Lack of Social Skills?
Posted January 31st, 2010 by dew19I tried to find out if my dog has separation anxiety from other dog communities but they kind of hazed me, because apparently 'all owners throw around separation anxiety'. My dog is a 10 mo old dachshund. I had him since he was 3 mo from a woman that bought him and his brother but could no longer keep them after losing her job. When I got him I was on vacation for a month so besides being in the crate for periodic naps and at night to go to sleep he was always with me. When I went back to school he started barking and whining every time I left.

last days for a husky
Posted December 30th, 2009 by smoke143we have a eleven month old husky. If it was not for positve reinforsment training he would have been put down. He snaped at everyone that tried to disipline him. He is still a work in progess,but things are getting better. Still a few problems to work out. But our family can not believe the difference it such a short time.

new pup-crate and loose leash walking
Posted December 9th, 2009 by bkorryHelp! I really don't want to kill any fairies, but my dog needs exercise, and i have to leave her alone for a few hours each day. I am getting a new Lab 98.5 weeks) named Kiwi and have looked at the crate training levelson Sue Ailsby's site, I have 4 days home before i am back to work at my vet clinic (I can take her, and her crate)-so
can she really not ever be walked on leash in neighborhood to meet and greet unless she is walking on a loose leash?
Where can she sleep at night, if not in her crate, where she will be safe???
