You guys had a great time with all the variety at that show! Duchess looks great!

I guess I missed this last photo on here of Remy. His shoulders look awesome!

I think whatever color is in the open is what they go after, two white, one red, one dark mutlicolor and one dark grey. I use to toss mice that I'd caught in traps (no poison here ever!) onto the roof of the barn and the ravens would come get them. I need to start doing that again - I can get...

A dog staring and fixating definitely should be broken up, so you have the right idea. If possible don't let it even start. Not for one or two seconds. Stalking is a thing with Dobermans and it's almost always play, but with another Dobe the dogs understand each others play, Without the other...

That would be fun, yeah, but like you, not sure that they would be a sky-watcher. They definitely hate a coyote! A Livestock Guardian Dog would be best, but I don't want any more animals, it's hard enough to get someone to come look after the chickens and the cat when we go out of town. The only...

It would be helpful to know a little more about what's happening in the household. Is this while outside playing and she escalates and plays rough or is it actually fighting? Do either of the other dogs fight back or are they trying to flee? Are they male or female? You say she torments them...

Same here... I can't keep the hawk away. 🥲 In 10 years we had one suspected hawk kill but it was at dusk so it could have been an owl. Now in less than a year a hawk has killed 5. I've got reflectors up, streamers blowing in the wind, and yesterday added tables and cover areas for them to...

This is gut wrenching to hear. My heart hurts for you, but I know you tried hard and your hardest decision tells me you have huge compassion to end the suffering. 💔

Sarah Prelle (of Canemo / Marko IGP training) posted on this topic yesterday on her fb page. It was the first I'd heard about it. She stated that even though she rarely uses the tools in training, she does not and will not exclude them. She said they teach an e-collar online course and it's on...

Every dog might have different results, but it never changed anything on my dogs response to the use of the collar in other situations. As I was saying about equipment being indicative to the job ahead, but also being very savvy to the picture in front of her, she knows that walking downtown on...

I spend most of my efforts in everyday life damping her down. She was born barking and very forward at anything she thought didn't belong. Too much of what most people want. Basically too-thin nerve - everything is a threat, bark first/think later. Because I wanted to do IGP with her and I was...

This chat forum encourages conversation - that's the whole point of a chat forum - and even though I was addressing your comment, I realize that to keep the conversation open to all readers, I try to explain things as I go to people who may know nothing about the sport. I'm so happy for you...

More of this cloud in the Cloud Photos thread, but put this one here with Asha romping in the grass in front of it!

That's such a classic move! :rofl:

I'm so sorry you and your dog(s) have had such an experience. Hopefully you'll be reporting back on the progress made and it will all end well. Many times our gut feelings are right, I'm glad you pushed for more answers. ❤️ Yes, you can post photos, you can leave them small and anyone who...

I think it's great that you are stepping out and up with your dogs! The friendships with people expand as well as your relationships with your dogs. Congrats again on your accomplishments!

After mentioning this 2-line method in another thread I'll address this comment here, waking up a 5 year old thread. @Nordika said: Good grief. Do you think that the dog will differentiate the feeling of prongs in correction by the handler from aggravation by the decoy? Why would you use a...

I'll address this later in a training thread since it's gotten off topic of our random photos.

Big congratulations for your exciting weekend!!!
