They are amazing dogs.
A close family friend had a American cattle dog she was more black than blue. she passed earlier this year at a very old age. She herded the cattle since she was a puppy. Always left the cats alone, kids no issue she loved people. She went blind in one eye. She still...
I guess not really a full training question. If i fully fulfill Tucker both mentally and physically, would living in a apartment be any different than a large house?
Next year we will be moving again and im hoping to secure a different place but if that doesnt work ill be renting a apartment...
Did heel work and sit stays today. Tucker heels perfectly on both sides off leash and auto sits. He also switches sides nicely. Id like to touch up on that a bit.
Denver heels on my left better. She was also taught that way. She can heel on the right and knows finishes on both left and right.
He is on a long leash. And i do lure him in then praise. He doesnt do it a lot and we work through it but i normally only do one or two more retrieves after that. Then we end.
If we are down at the park he only does that when fully tired and then i take the toy. But thats normally once we are...
It has been rainy, i dont mind the rain unless its colder out which it is so we stuck to indoor training. Worked on sits, stays, and then the fun tricks. And lots of different enrichment. I split meals into 3 training first, a enrichment toy second then into their puzzle feeder or bowl for the...
Im sorry.
Even if they arent our dogs it still hurts to loose one you know so much.
The lab golden mix i helped with at our last place he was put down in February a month after we moved. He was starting to struggle to get up. And he was in so much pain they said. He was really old, but He was...
i use the command middle for center. They love to randomly do the trick after you teach it. 😅
And then i use watch my six for the command to watch my back. Tucker is the only one i taught it to but Denver was watching and just started doing it.
Denvers birthday was today. Cant believe she is 4 already 🥲 . Made her some pumpkin and banana pupcakes with some frozen yogurt +banana. She got a new toy, technically 2 but Tucker always has to have one. They share most of the time. Then she got to go to the park and run around.
Did some training with Tucker. It was dark and there have been so many skunk spottings in town. I figured it was best to stick to a road i know with lots of street lights. I just had a slip leash with his regular collar and a traffic handle. He heeled when asked and not asked. He only barked at...
