Both excitement and nervousness! Excitement is the most common, she is normally fine until people touch her

I am really hoping she grows out of it its really difficult for us to deal with!

We learned what it was that set her bladder loose when it was excitement (New people), so we would get her outside and introduce her there. When it was because she was sick, we would put her in the laundry room with towels down before we left the house to help catch her accidents when we were gone

I know for Tucker he outgrew it by 6 months. And Denver never had it happen. Hope she outgrows it!

If you have the breeder name. I love looking into breeders of all breeds. I usally stick to the ones i want the most Golden Retrievers, Bernese Mountain dogs, Australian Shepherds/other Shepherds.

I tracked the Sire through the ASCA and there was a litter available from a Bitch that was also ASCA.

I think that is rather common for Australian Shepherds, and that's how we got the one before.
He was a remarkable Shepherd! Saved my wife from a mugging, saved my mutt from a raccoon attack, took on multiple dog assailants multiple times and always came out the Victor!

I'd NEVER get a dog through a kennel after the fiasco my mother went through with her Great Dane.

So you dont know the breeder?
They sound like amazing pups!
I guess i buy from breeders and i will be very picky from this point on. I already have my next Golden Retriever breeder picked out.

I met the owners of the Bitch and looked over the whole litter. They were really nice people with lots of dogs and livestock.
We don't exchange Christmas cards, so I guess that doesn't count as knowing the 'breeder'?
I don't do big for profit kennels, as previously mentioned based on my mother's AKC catastrophe.
I found a formula that works and I am sticking to it!

Agility 099; Wobbly Board

Go slow! Unless your dog is exceptional (like mine), they can easily go over threshold. They are going to have to be very comfortable with the wobbly board before they can move on to the seesaw!

Whatever works for you, but AKC registration means absolutely nothing. Also, ethical breeders don't make money from their dogs. The best way to become a millionaire with ethically breeding dogs is to start as a billionaire

Anyone else have a dog that refuses to learn 'speak'? Our dog loves to bark, but as soon as we try telling her to speak, she goes silent, even when we're using her favorite treats.

Hmmm. Maybe try shaping with this one?

Blooper turned seven weeks today. I'm honestly surprised he has made it with our first go round of having to hand feed a puppy from birth.
