I don't think it's unusual for breeders to ask for a deposit to hold a puppy, at least in my area. Some breeders are very particular about their...
The collar does not shock the dog or hurt it. It just vibrates and you can set the level of vibration. It's better than surgery to debark in my...
I have been using the treat method to get my Daisy to curtail barking at other dogs when we're on walks. The problem is my other dog. Trying to...
@mxt161 There is an enormous German Shepherd that frightens her, although he does not seem aggressive. I think she would have responded better...
I agree @danisgoat, and it looks like I should wish you a Happy Birthday! I think trying to work around other dogs will help her immensely,...
So, Daisy just began a beginning agility class. She is 9 months. There is one 8 month-old Australian Sheepherding dog and the rest of the dogs...
Good to know! Should've checked Piper's full name.
Just curious if you're getting the male because you are planning on breeding? Like me, it sounds like Piper is your first Sheltie so I am...
I've had success using the carpeted pet stairs. Sometimes they still leap off the bed onto the rug, but they will use the steps. I started by...
My Sheltie is nothing compared to my white Persian cat. I have never seen an animal produce so much fur! So fine and it gets everywhere. That...

Update - In case anyone else has an early bird dog, I thought I'd let them know that is does get better! Daisy will be 8 months soon and she is...
Congratulations! She's such a cutie. Coloring is similar to my Daisy. I tried wrapping Christmas gifts today with her around - boy was that a...
@ghggp Regarding the "bad" neighbor, we had a similar experience. Our neighbor was too lazy to walk their Doberman Pinscher so the guy would...
Thanks for your reply @corbinam! Everyone seems certain their way is best, and I have been unhappy with some of my glue jobs. I did end up...
Daisy's ears have come unglued again, thanks to her antics with my other dog. She is 7 months and one ear is still sticking up, with one pretty...
I had this same question. I bought another bag of puppy food just this morning, debating whether or not I should move onto adult since my puppy...
@Hanne. Thanks for the link. I also saw that SN has a list of old threads regarding the "when to spay" issue. So many factors to consider. I...
My 11 lb. miniature pinscher is extremely active, although slowing down a bit now that he is 11. He used to jog with me, but now just goes on...
