Saying Goodbye: Memorials & Support > A year gone by

Shane DEC- '08-JAN '12- RIP In dreams I walk- with you..     Barked: Mon Jan 21, '13 11:05am PST  Today marks a year since you escaped the limitations of this life to explore the great beyond. My days.. dimmer.. my nights.. longer, colder, lonelier. Sincerely hoping there is yet another reality we get to explore together.. that land beyond the bridge my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Dog to Dog Corrections

Shane DEC- '08-JAN '12- RIP In dreams I walk- with you..     Barked: Wed Jan 16, '13 2:46pm PST  Just wanted to point out that this thread is a fascinating study in people giving and receiving corrections. Most of it good and useful communication, some just unwarranted snark. All of it enlightening and affirming. Carry on! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > What breed would you give him? :D

Shane DEC- '08-JAN '12- RIP In dreams I walk- with you..     Barked: Mon Jan 14, '13 10:51am PST  hmmm.. a dobie perhaps or a rescue greyhound/lurcher my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Shane DEC- '08-JAN '12- RIP In dreams I walk- with you..     Barked: Wed Jan 9, '13 8:54am PST  As others have pointed out, a dog lacking confidence doesn't want to give the appearance of challenging you, so might not want to tug for fear of offending you. I'd try putting a tuggable toy (I use a kong wubba) on a flirt pole. This puts some distance between you and the dog and he won't feel so confrontational. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Bitey Poodle.

Shane DEC- '08-JAN '12- RIP In dreams I walk- with you..     Barked: Tue Jan 1, '13 6:26pm PST  Have you tried blindfolding him? Maybe if he can't see the tennis ball or bumper he won't get as excited my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > Ideas (Mostly for fun)

Shane DEC- '08-JAN '12- RIP In dreams I walk- with you..     Barked: Tue Jan 1, '13 1:28pm PST  Cool! Dogster Bella and Daisy (http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1136436) would be a great resource for you, she has two and fosters for a rescue. I'm sure she'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > Ideas (Mostly for fun)

Shane DEC- '08-JAN '12- RIP In dreams I walk- with you..     Barked: Tue Jan 1, '13 9:31am PST  Would he consider a rescue coonhound? In general they are sweetness personified and couch tater extraordinaire! I'd go through a rescue that specifically puts their dogs in foster homes so you could ask questions about drooling, etc. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Shane DEC- '08-JAN '12- RIP In dreams I walk- with you..     Barked: Sun Dec 2, '12 3:11pm PST  Just wanted to say thank you for starting this thread, and thanks to Lou for the enlightenment. Gotta admit I was one of those that thought the E-collar was mainly used on high to deliver a punishing shock. My dogs are mainly pets and companions and as others have said I have no need for speed or precision and can get them where they need to be quite nicely using positive reinforcement and mild corrections. While I can't foresee ever using an E-collar, I am thoroughly enjoying the education and having my blinders removed. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
