Mental note to self: Always ask dog park haters if they send their kids to public schools and then ask them to explain which is potentially WORSE and why. :)

It is very difficult to train a dog to work both ways. Do you want a guard dog to protect your property or a dog that is friendly to anyone and everything they come across no matter what or where it is? You did say - "She will be a working guard dog for us". :) Example: Back when I had Mojo...

If I ever get out of Dobermans I am for sure getting one of these - If I can handle a pair of Dobermans I am pretty sure I can handle at least one of these. :) I can see me now sitting in the Vets reception area with it waiting for our appointment while ALL of the other customers wait...

Completely understand your reasons for staying with him. Trust is definitely important - Also matters what choices are available near you.

Just so you know - I had to report your post cause you did not fuzz out the dangly bits. :) :p

At bare MINIMUM a pole on either side of the driveway set up so a heavy duty cable can be easily strung between them to stop the cars from coming down the driveway. (obviously placed well BEHIND the NO TRESPASSING signs) The neighbor would get a single polite warning about their dogs on my...

No shipping charge if it is over $50.00 I think? (or if they have to split an order up for whatever reason) I would have not paid the Vet that. Would just got the written RX and went to Walmart for the weeks worth of pills. Before you fire that Vet (they need to be canned if they are not...

My wireless, solar / sardine powered door bell alarms - I use ear buds a lot and could simply not get by without the girls. :)

I feed once per day at 8:30PM. I don't need a watch or clock to know when it is that time because the girls (with their biological 'food time' clocks in perfect working order) will be 'eye balling' me looking for their dinner! :) At that age it pays to be extra cautious about what (the volume...

Glen Beck goes to extreme lengths to fact check his stuff BEFORE releasing it so he does NOT get sued. If you are going to call out The Blaze (owned by Glen Beck) please cite specific examples of false statements and proof that they were false. I personally would not give a dime of my money...

I have done a bunch of Doberman ears over the years and never, ever used sticks in their ears. That missing chunk is not going to grow back either.

I am a BIG believer in crates but - Have an 'open door policy' with respect to them. :) If I got to go to the grocery store (or wherever) there is no way I am locking any Doberman of mine inside a crate. Same thing at work - If I decide to leave the shop for a few to go grab some lunch or...

All of my birds had names. :) McNugget, DogFood, EggCrapper, MeatyTreat, etc. Never were intended to be 'pets'. :)

For several years Dystopia always had her spot up close to the headboard and Patience had her spot down towards the foot of the bed. Here lately Patience has preferred to spoon with her back up against my tummy and her face close to mine. My only hard 'rule' is no Dober butts pointed at my face...

Get another Doberman for him to play with. :) (and a bigger bed!) :)

Don't think about it as 'butchering'. You are simply 'processing' the chicken! :)

Older picture but shows about where the girls were at today and how the street divides a line of commercial property on one side of it and residential on the other. Girl in the front (closer to me in picture) is Dystopia. :) 50% of the time she is my favorite dog. :)

Patience on the left, then Whitey ('Ass Tray Uhh' (all one word) is how her real name is pronounced) and Dystopia on the far right. Like I said before - I don't normally 'allow' crate sharing garbage but Whitey and Dystopia fell in love as soon as they met each other and it quickly got...

That was an awesome post and very informative. :) I don't personally use food treats for training but 'different strokes for different folks'. :)

Fight, flight, wait and see what happens, or just submit. Lots of possibilities for sure! I took the Dober girls outside for a quick pee break at work today and they got run up on / charged at by the neighbors dog from across the street. :) Going to blame it on Dystopia because she barked at...
