Hey, welcome! Are you on Facebook?

I don't believe in corrections at all. But that is for anothr thread lol

Besides, collars can cause thyroid issues and blindness if they pull, and if you leash correct, those 'pops' can cause spinal injuries, and throat issues.

As do I. I also trust my research.

And I've heard of many doxies whose back problems are attributed to collars. Harnesses must be properly fitting and shouldn't ever affect their elbows.

Boo got sick a few weeks back, requiring a vet trip who is not my regular vet. He wanted me to buy the Hills B/D because it's so bland. I didn't argue with him, just threw out the can when I got home, and fed rice and slippery elm. I truly will never feed a Hills product. Sent from my...

Sorry, I totally do not agree. A crate is a safe, happy place for a puppy, if trained correctly. You will not find a single trainer here that doesn't recommend them, vet associations also recommend them. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

That's what happens here. Crates are actually recommended here by everyone. We all have to work. We cannot stay home with our dogs, so crates are necessary to keep dogs safe and ourselves sane. My Oliver still chews plastic, so he is still crated when I am not home, even though he's almost...

Mouse is allergic to stainless steel and vinegar. .. the odd dog that she is! Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

Mine wear harnesses. I believe tgat collars put too much strain on their necks, and can increase the likelihood of IVDD. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

I disagree with Vizzla. Crate training helps them learn to pee in the appropriate place. But it needs to be done correctly. Do NOT give your puppy run of the house. Keep him leashed pr crated. Take him to his "spot" every 1/2 hour or so. Party when he goes appropriately. Ignore the...

It should grow back just fine. Shaving will ruin the coat, but a little scissoring here and there wont. Not sure how long it'll take tho. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

She's gorgeous! And is a purebred or so close that you can't see any other breed in her. Lucky you! Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

I used to dislike the breed because every one I met before I adopted Mouse was like that. I worked very hard with Mouse, socializing her and making sure she wouldn't get like that. It worked, she loved everyone and everything until the last year when her sight started going. She has started...

Here (Canada) there are no limits. A person could breed a bitch every heat until she's dead. The US is the same. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

I am not a runner, and neither are my doxies, however, I would think runnong with your boy would be completely safe. Just make sure to condition properly :) Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk

Well, I use food, so what's on the ground doesn't matter as much. when I first start leash training, I just give a treat every time they look at me. Eventually I refine it to giving food when beside me and such. However, I also do "sniff walks" where the dogs are allowed to do their own...

I don't use training tools at all. And prong collars DO HURT OR THEY WOULDN'T WORK ANY DIFFERENT THAN A FLAT COLLAR. This is not something you can debate, it is absolute fact. I'm not saying you dont love and look after you dogs, I'm saying I don't need to use pain to train. And positive...
