    Solid Recall

    Can anyone give me some advice on how they trained a solid recall with their Dobie? I don't use an e-collar and he's pretty good about recall most of the time. Obviously, distractions is always difficult too. I have used the long lead and he does amazing with that. But when I think he's...

    Afraid of the Vet

    Hi Guys! I have an issue. My boy Prince is afraid of the vet. I took him last year for his annual exam, shots, etc. He would hide behind me and wouldn't allow any of the techs to touch him. (big baby 🤣) I stayed calm and neutral - I didn't want to feed into his fear. We tried peanut...
