Our Stella had incontinence when as she got older. And that is what the vet told us, that it happens to females that have been spayed a long time because of lack of hormones. At first she just leaked a little only when she was asleep because her muscles were relaxed in sleep. It got to be more...

That's funny about the cactus. They do seem so alike! Daisy is exactly as you described! When she cut her leg and needed stitches, she kinda licked it once and kept running laps! I do see that now that she's 13 months, she isn't equally as hardheaded every single day, but she is still often...

I'm re-reading back through some of these threads. Less sensitive to correction should be part of Daisy's name. We about had a knock down drag out last night. A certain time of the evening (most days) she is pretty consistently purposefully annoying. Like kids have the witching hour while...

I'm glad things are going better for you both ! It definitely is one step at a time :)

If Daisy wasn't such a complicated order ;) I would never have considered it. If she hadn't tried to pull me into the street I probably wouldn't have considered it. I think one issue is, unless you are in a group like this, there's a good chance you don't know how they're used successfully and...

I don't have a lot of advice because I'm definitely a novice at training my dog. However, I will share that I was super hesitant about a prong collar because they look painful and it just seemed mean. My doberman puppy was hurting me though by how hard she was pulling and she is/was (getting...

What a good girl !

I feel permission now to do that 😍 If I didn't want to put her in the crate I felt like I had to be hands on with her and felt like she would never get better if I didn't. In the kind of situation like I described last week, I'm gonna give myself permission to do this. What I think she will...

That is a really good idea. I just don't have a great place to gate. Our LR and kitchen are open with too wide of an opening for a gate. The only place I could gate off where she could see me is our bedroom and I would have to put up and remove the gate each time (so that i would still be...

This made me laugh. I'm sorry. If it weren't for Daisy being so incredibly sweet at times I think I would have given up. But I don't know what giving up would look like because they would just terrorize you more :sweatsmile: It does make me think though that Asha has Daisy beat in the...

After telling how psycho she is I felt the need to share a picture that shows her sweet side ❤️

Like a turkey buzzard until we remove her :rofl: I feel like training on the hard stuff is always 2 steps forward 1 step back.

That is such an excellent and helpful clarification about reactivity and whether to use the e-collar for it. And pitiful that Asha would flatten herself in anticipation yet not be able to help it. That hurts my heart for her. I think some of the time that is how it is for Daisy with cars...

That's good clarification for me of when it isn't inappropriate to use crating as what some might consider punishment.

Stop accepting friend requests :rofl:

Gorgeous dogs!
