Just saw this.. but have you tried creating a donut shape with bandages? You place the donut over the sore (sore in the hole), and then bandage around the donut to keep it in place. This keeps everything off the sore. I suppose if you need to keep something on the sore (like a medicated pad)...

Fast fast shelties! I enjoyed those videos and also look forward to more! :yes:

Ditto everything Irene said! Congratulations to you and Lexi!! What a deserving team!

We're at 90 degrees with about 80-90% humidity year round. And the dogs are fine indoors with the fan on. I turn the AC on only when it gets even hotter and there is a dry spell. The marble flooring doesn't retain much heat too. At night though, when the temperature drops to the high 70s, we...

I've heard of this app before (I think it was mentioned in a Clean Run mag) but didn't look too closely at it. Do you use your phone to record your runs? And do you look at them just after your run to figure out how to improve, or do you wait till you get home, then make changes the next time...

I'm sorry to hear Tully's not improving. Hopefully with the pain meds back to the previous dosage she will perk up again. Sending both you and Tully positive healing vibes!

I wouldn't put an 11 week old with a group of larger 7 month olds for socialization! Don't beat yourself up about it! You took the advice of someone you thought knew better but didn't. At least now you're making the right decision to not bring her back. I would also recommend finding a class...

It's good to know I'm not alone in this noisy barking sheltie world! :lol: I actually do think it's possible to have them be quiet during obedience, and let them bark while running agility and flyball. I think it's a matter of making sure you never reinforce any barking when training...

I use the South Bark Dog Wash Blueberry Facial tearless face shampoo! It smells nice and I can use it without worrying about it stinging the dogs' eyes. My dogs eat raw and can be very messy (re: bloody) so I feel the need to clean their faces more thoroughly! There are other tearless options...

I know dandelions are beneficial to dogs (provided they haven't been treated with pesticides or other chemicals). I buy that as a supplement for my dogs! http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/dandelion-much-more-than-a-weed/ I'd maybe check to see if all the plants (that you've planted) are...

That makes sense. You wouldn't want to over do the physio in the beginning. Hope you got that list of exercises! Nothing serious on your end too I hope? As Kate said, we're on Team Tully! Please let us know if you need any help yea?

1. Puppy starts to potty inside. You grab him and whisk him outside. No time to grab treats, but yet you should reward for the puppy finishing his business outside. How do you do it? I'd try to manage the pup as much as possible so there won't be instances where he might potty inside. Take...

Did your physio recommend any work on a peanut or other such equipment? To help build muscle?

Hope everything looks alright! Keep us posted!

Pick up the book Control Unleashed. That has helped quite a few people with reactive dogs. What I typically do is click the dog for looking at other dogs (echoing what Caro said about letting the dog see first because not seeing I think does increase the anxiety), but I do this "below...
