@Pegs I don't normally use treats either. What I do use to reward varies upon the dog. Different breeds and individual dogs have different...
@Lifew/dogs as you are new to this site, I would like to point out that the one real guideline on this site is: Don't be Contemptible It is fine to...
@Pegs please don't use punishment or intimidation (ie, squirting with water, etc). It is no more effective than using positive techniques and can...
Then a different vet is in order. As @CaroleC mentions it could be a problem with the bite. A good vet should be able to see if that is likely an...
@Lifew/dogs I have given her advice on how to fix it. No where did I say she needs to live with it.

I love it! She is so lucky to have found you and you her! It's amazing how well they can track and trail. My dad did tracking with his first...

I have a barker. He could bark nonstop forever if I let him. What I found is that dogs bark to tell us things. We bred them to warn us of...

@CaroleC thanks. Obvious names: Paddington Yogi BooBoo Baloo Fozzie Little John Br'er Bear Gentle Ben or Ben and of course: Winnie the Pooh,...
