Today was Tornado-dog's third birthday. We cuddled. He barked at the Amazon man. He annoyed his cat, Looney1. He played with his birthday...
You don't indicate where you are located. The first thing is to get both dogs checked out by a vet. Either one could have a health issue. Or it...
If you are worried that the puppy is not a purebred, then don't buy it. You can't know for sure just by looking at the puppy, or parents - let alone...
Tornado-dog will lie about someone outside to get my attention. My favorite burglar/guard dog example is from the TV show, It Takes a Thief (not the...
Ah, but you pay attention to him in the first place to know that difference. So many people have no idea of the difference between "there's...
You can get a listcof CCPDT certified trainers for your area by going to ccpdt.org/dog-owners and searching your zip code. These trainers use the...
Dogs barking are like car alarms. They go off so often for no reason that no one pays any attention to them anymore. And if no one is going to...

Tornado-dog has many toys - more than fits in a full size cedar chest... Just tell your partner that the kong is a training tool not a toy. Like...
Thanks. I think the older ones were in better shape all around. The four little ones had a rougher start of it. Gertie was the second smallest....
My normal routine is the take them out first thing when I get up, after every meal, after every drink, after every nap, after every playtime, every...
I have a sad update. Gertie suddenly failed in her new home. They got her to the vet's but they couldn't save her. It was likely FIP. Punx has...
Personally, if he is doing well now without a crate, I would skip a kennel inside completely. I've never used one. Baby gates work great and are...
