I have an intermediate, and my 71# lab is fine with that for even long distance traveling. My 75# chessie likes it too, though I like him to have just a scooch more space. As stated above, the...

Ok is the release around here. Example, all 3 have to walk at heel until we go around the gate in the driveway. This gives me the chance to check for traffic on the dirt road. If the coast is clear,...

Hmmm.... I just clicked on it and it worked. Just a link from the Facebook post, but I could get the photos.

I like this! WAITING has worked for me on a number of problems and I believe it helps to put the onus on the dog, making him responsible for getting the next retrieve or reward. I use this type of...

No more snow. There are just a few isolated patches on the shady areas of the north side. It has really been gorgeous here for the past week, once the dern wind laid down a little! We have also...

Ralph and I were driving up the road to the ski valley yesterday. These three rams were duking it out on a STEEP slope on the side of the road. The noise they make slamming their horns into each...

The girl is a writer for sure! I hope she keeps it up.

Thanks for the info. But I guess starting at 2 is probably too late. Stuck with blind and stoopid! :p:p:p

I too would like to know why you give a young puppy fish oil. What is it supposed to do for them that his diet does not?

I had this happen in a Qual. Dog was running straight to the bird but stopped suddenly, turning to face me. There was no slowing down or wandering. Seemed like he did hear "something". Anyway, I...

Thats ridiculous Ken. By saying I do not watch TV does not mean I do not look at a lighted screen! I simply do not watch any broadcast, cable or network programming. My Mac is not a TV that I read...

Can anybody translate the above for me?????? What exactly is he suggesting that the op do to "punish" the "not lifting head"???

This is by far the best reply! Whether for good or ill, each person I have shared a day's worth of dog training or more, has left ideas and impressions. My original mentor was an amateur of the old...

I don't watch TV at all. My news comes from online publications from the Wall St. Journal to the NY Times and The Beaufort Gazette! (wish Mad Magazine was still out there) I try to read both sides...

This is the only article I have read. Where did you guys hear about blaming it on Bush? If the above is at all accurate, the bad move was made by IRS career employees, and pointed out by a...

Wait a minute! The article I read this morning about this said that The O Administration was jumping down on the IRS for this blatant politically based attack. I guess we all read what we want to...

Mark I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe "Ram" was a hall of fame dog. He is also my Chief's grand sire on the dam's side. And oh yeah, they were both Labrador...

If I ever have another pup, it will be Hillman all the way. His FF DVD came out a tiny bit late for my last one, but from what I have seen the FF is just an extension of his puppy video.

Why do I keep hearing Joan Baez singing "Winds of the Old Days" in my head? Seriously, you know you are close to senior citizen status when all your contemporaries keep on about how much better life...

I think that treat is for the handler at the end of the session?

Ken, I think you are on to a very deep concept here. Notice how the more experienced trainers/handlers on this board seldom use the word, "command"? Yet most newbies refer to the "commands" their...

I'm callin' PETA on you Sharon. Aint gonna be no Chessie Tossin' on my watch! Have fun and enjoy the pup.:D:D

If one of the Labs attacks the food, I put the Chessie on him. During the fight I give the food to the other Lab.

That is great news! Since your vet has gotten her this far, I would trust him on this part too. He can always change the RX if there is a problem, but if he says let it be, I'd let it be. The post...
