Aslan got his second Master Agility CHampion title today and is now MACH2!! I wasn't expecting him to Double Q because of an injury he got this summer. However, he pulled it out of the hat.

Do they really help housetraining? My friend's 4-5 year old male rottweiler has been marking the house. He marked on the side of their bed the other day and they actually gave him away but the person who got him gave him back the next day. She is now ready to find him another home. I mentioned belly bands to her, but do these really work to help train a dog not to mark in the...

I haven't posted this yet but Sunday at the dog park Gabby had some concerning behavior. There is a little Beagle x chihuahua cute as a button and probably about Maggie's size. The dog was very non aggressive/submissive and had been to the dog park many other times they were actually there the first time we came.

So I dislocated my knee today. Luckily my fiance was able to come home for a while and help out with Sherlock. He's been doing so well with the potty training. I can't really go up or down stairs and to get outside I have to go down like 4 stairs. Anyway, I asked my dad to help out while my fiance was at work tonight. I am beyond frustrated! As soon as he got here I had ...

Two questions, figured I'd lump into one thread. First-our new house has almost an acre fully fenced in. But..it is a 4ft chain link fence.
