I just watched Edan's videos. You make it look so easy! Edan looked so sweet going through the course. Thank you for sharing and congratulations!

I know this is a stupid question. What is a Q? :~)

Thank you all for your advice on this! I've been having Zoe go into a sit when I vacuum or sweep the patio and treating her when she does. Later putting small treats on or under the sweeper. It is working! I'm seeing hesitation when the equipment comes out and thank goodness it is so much...

Thank goodness she doesn't go crazy over the iron board - that would be the end. MeandAmber - I am going to try it your way. Giving her an ah-ah and trying to catch that moment when she stops (if it happens) and treating her. She is highly motivated (like most Shelties) by treats, so maybe...

I never thought about it being a herding thing. I'll keep working on the leave its - and new to me -its mine. Thank you!

I am at a loss at how to keep Zoe from going crazy everytime I take out the vacuum or shovel the snow. She barks nonstop (and she is not a big barker); attacks the object; just goes crazy. Any suggestions on how to deter this behavior? I've tried to hold her collar with one hand, and vacuum...

I'm so sorry; the poor little love. I'll keep him & you in my prayers.

Congratulations! That's awesome! How old is Hunter?

powder on the ears do you mean putting powder on the soft hair below the ears (the hair that gets all tangled up)? She is always getting tangles no matter how much i brush. Will this help? Thanks!

I recently heard that you shouldn't give rawhides to your pets, but always gave them to Kate and Logan (my angels) and there were no issues. Decided to look into it and this is what I found: http://www.daneangelnetwork.org/rawhide.htm Thinking there are plenty of other things out there -...

Hi Marilyn: Welcome! I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your little girl. I think you are doing the right thing jumping right in and getting another sheltie. Don't feel guilty; you know the puppy won't replace your girl, but she'll sure bring you a lot of joy. I waited two years after...

Hi Raya: She is so beautiful! What a face! I miss having a sable. I wrote in for the first time in December because Zoe (who is now 8+ mos) was chewing everything - suddenly it has all but a bit stopped. All the advice that you got worked for me; it just takes time. I always told her to...

Zoe gets excited to play with any breed; however, in classes we've noticed all the black & white dogs "hang out" together. So maybe it is a marking thing...

I'll get on it then. I don't want any problems if/when when compete in an AKC show. It is so hard to pick a full name though! Thanks!

I haven't registered Zoe yet. (The breeder did give me the papers, but I thought no rush - having trouble with the name too.) Will do it now. Does she have to be registered with AKC before competing in obedience or agility? Thanks!
