. It’s hard to say much based on that particular clip - as the POV is directly behind the dog, who’s walking away, plus the camera is angled slightly down, not at the level of the dog’s rump [from that distance, or even further away], or better yet, his hocks. My personal hunch, however, has...

. Love it, love it, LOVE it!... so glad that George gives Murphy a boost of confidence, & they look thrilled beyond words as they play. :) A happy ending for everyone, that’s the best kind! .

. I am so sorry - U must be devastated. :( Keeping her comfortable & happy is the standard Rx, i hope she’s not in much pain. This is completely superfluous now, but is she intact, by any chance? Intact Fs run an extremely high risk of mammary tumors, which quickly metastasize, & the...

. Get a 2nd opinion - ASAP, would be my suggestion. :) If U can swing it financially, i’d ask for a referral to a k9 cardiologist / veterinary cardio. I would want a chest x-ray to look for fluid in her lungs, & to see if her heart is markedly enlarged; a chest ultrasound, or an ECG / EEG...

. Ummm... :oops: @hollysh , I hesitate to say this, but no one can “share” their seat-belt by putting it around another person. :( Seat-belts are single occupancy, only - any shared use is not only futile, it’s downright dangerous. Physics is very unforgiving - everything in a car is...

. Another vote for a post-puberty pup or a young dog, rather than a baby puppy who’s 8 to 12-WO. // The infant needs to go out EVERY 3 HOURS for scheduled potty breaks, in addition to ‘triggered’ potty breaks - triggers include: * waking from sleep, even if that’s a 15-minute nap * a meal or a...

. Bounding into the trampoline & literally bouncing off the walls is hysterically funny, his manic attack is a riot - but i also enjoyed his OH, YEAH! digging into the water-filled deep tray, he actually bit at the water as it slopped about, dug like a mad thing & sent it splooshing over the...

. I am so sorry! :eek: - i don’t know what combo of keys produced the automatic underlining in my post, above, so I don’t know how to fix it... i will try to edit the underlining out, but I can’t guarantee it will work. :( My sincere apologies, - terry UPDATE: i fixed half of it, & must...

. The good news? — this is definitely a retrainable issue. :) The bad news is that she’s been rehearsing this reaction for TWO YEARS... it’s a highly practiced, very fluent, completely automatic response, by now. :( The longer a behavior is practiced, the longer it takes to reduce, re-direct...

. What a little madman, LOL - but also such a sweetie. :) Awww... now i’m getting pup-broody, oh, dear! :eek: .

. I am late seeing this thread, & i apologize for it. :( I’m so sorry to hear that Lady has left this life, but for as long as someone remembers her, she’s not truly gone; memories are powerful, & happy memories are especially-potent medicine for those times when we feel lost, alone, or sad...

. Teats are open at the tip, & that duct can get bacteria, plain old dirt, or various micro- or macro- debris in it, or be traumatized - hooked by a twig or stabbed by a thorn while crashing thru shrubbery or brambles, snagged by a hind claw when the dog scratches an itch, etc. Please update...

. Thanks, @JudyN - it’s surprising to me, how many dog-owners think “it’s just a word!”, when they use ‘command’ rather than cue, or announce, “he’s being bad”... referring to their dog’s current behavior. The N word is “just a word” when used to refer to a black person in the U.S.A., but riots...

. Re classes - U might be able to find a training club that has a more spacious area, indoors or outdoors, where U & Ur dog can work within earshot, but beyond his threshold of reactivity. :) Many trainers will also provide a visual barrier on request; something as simple as an 8-ft long...

. I’d erase the word “obedience” & all the related terms from yer vocabulary, re dogs - leave “obedience”, obey, command, GOOD dogs / BAD dogs, etc, entirely out of any discussion, & try to avoid using them, even in convos or observations that are inside yer own head. // Labeling a dog’s...

. I suspect [but of course cannot know] that his shadow-chasing & fascination with glare / dazzle spots from light on reflective surfaces, is a mild form of OCD / Obsessive - Compulsive Disorder; this can be inherited from either parent or from a grandparent, or it can be the result of profound...

. Most vets don’t mind at all, if clients bring their dogs by to use the walk-on scales - Plus it gives a dog many, many happy, brief visits to the vet’s premises with no scary personal assaults, always a plus. :p I’d weigh her once or even twice weekly, at approx the same time of day - so...

. As others have said, to my eye, she doesn’t look underweight in that photo - she just looks fit, which is great to see. :) Pitties & their crosses are among the breeds & blends that are MOST likely to be overfed by loving owners who think any visible bones, aside from elbows, are Not a Good...

. OTOH, @JudyN , if it *could* hold the dog, U could deliver the dog to the groomer from home & fetch them back after, or send a dog by “air” back to the owner when their pet-sitting visit was over... There’d be all sorts of ways to send a dog at low altitude, with a proper body harness & a...

. Sorry for the long absence - I was one of the many? / several? forum-members who were denied access by the forum software, & Josie had to restore our connections. I couldn’t fix the issue, it had decided my e-addy was not legit, & demanded a different one. :eek: I’m also trying to...
