Somewhere I got a really big file full of pictures of Dobermans serving during WW2. They would not have chose that breed back then if they were known to be 'difficult' to desensitize to pretty much anything they wanted. (sounds, lights, pressures, etc.)

As a general rule I do not allow crate sharing or 'stealing' from the other dogs crate. 'If it is inside the other crate - It does NOT belong to you' :) I think what is left of these knuckles has transferred ownership about a few dozen times now! (back and forth from one crate to the other)...

Much wisdom in this post from JanS. :) Set an example for your dog by remaining calm. Also, Don't give up. Keep on doing what you are and exposing him to the things that you want him to get comfortable with as much and as often as possible. You don't teach a dog to not fear fireworks if you...

I will never forget that first time when these girls were puppies and the trash truck came to empty the dumpster. As soon as it started banging the dumpster to make sure it was empty - they both pissed themselves WHILE running backwards to get away from the sounds of it! :( I feel fairly...

That crap is WAY more difficult (for most dogs) than most would think. The sounds it makes, the uneven motions as it is moving with them on it! Stick any fido on pretty much anything that moves like that (furniture dolly, warehouse cart, etc) and then move them around on it some and see what...

Current girls were done like that. (Not 'exactly' a single stitch in my case - up the long edge was the single but down by the bell there were a few more 'individual' stitches) Freaking love the way that all turned out (the edges and all + how smoothly and fast the stitch removal went). Looked...

How much weight were you expecting him to put on it two weeks??? :) No. The weight is not 'horribly' unusual or 'off' for that age. Don't agree with what the other member said about runts either. There is no way of knowing for sure at that age where the adult dog will fall as an adult. I...

Yep! But few mention the importance of this here. Getting the dog 'tuned up' and actually 'using' their ears the way that cropping was supposed to help the dogs use them and such.

Low calorie and inexpensive as well. :) (Should say 'were' inexpensive. Thanks inflation!)

I looked up one time when my girls were pups and playing tug with each other using one of those long tug ropes that I found at TSC. Between the two of them there were puppy teeth everywhere! :) Guessing the teeth were 'ready' to come out as they were not even really going at it that hard. Ive...

One of my girls found the box of milkbones behind the counter at the beer store tonight in under 5 seconds. Guessing the box was close to empty as she darn near had her entire face and head inside the box before I reeled her in. :)

Looks like he scratched the mess out of it. Learn to do the ears by yourself. You should not 'need' 2 people to do ear work. That and find some neosporin / antibiotic ointment and a cone to keep his feet away from his ears. After a while the dog forgets the cone is even there.

Betting you 'trained' him to go for the throat! Hard for a burgler / home invader to cry out for help with no voicebox! :)

I think it took 2 cycles here before both girls had the rules figured out with respect to the underwear and the cycles. 'If you take those off - you better be IN YOUR CRATE' is the main rule. :) Healthy females living in close proximity will sync up quickly. They do not have to be the same...

Looks to me like a medium crop where they went easy on the bell (less bell instead of more). Looks very well done also. I would be pleased with that. :) Ears look very clean as well. You have definitely been doing your part. :)

Had the girls with me at TSC one day and they were in heat and wearing their underwear. I think one was in some red Haynes underwear and the other in green. Nubs poking out right below the elastic waistbands... Was a little girl and her mom in line right behind us and I heard the little girl...

Yep! Same experience here! :) They are always friendly and ask how the individual dogs are doing! Was a few orders back when talking to one of their reps that I mentioned buying their Apoquel locally from Walmart because it was cheaper than their (the PetMeds people) listed online price...

Not sure how much I saved this time over buying locally. I suppose I need to check because these people will price match anyone (including Walmart prices). I do know they saved me some money on the HeartGard by charging me for the big box instead of the two smaller boxes that they sent! :) 6...

Got 6 months worth of their thyroid meds and their heartworm preventatives. :) I like this company for my doggie meds. Would suggest them to any friends of mine regardless of any stupid prize they were offering just because of my personal experiences with them so far. :)

I had a zero tolerance policy when my boys were young about them messing with the Doberman when it was in the crate. If I caught them anywhere near the crate while the dog was in there - They had a problem. (the boys not the dog) For the exact reason that you describe... That crate is the...
