    Anyone own a Gunner Kennel? Crash tested kennel recommendations!

    Haha we are first-timers... Hopefully go for a BH this year, depending on COVID. :) I think I may just place a custom order with TNC Crates... A single crate to ship to Canada is only $100-$150 USD, but a double would cost $300 via freight. My only concern now is the custom duties and taxes...

    Anyone own a Gunner Kennel? Crash tested kennel recommendations!

    I forgot to mention that we train Schutzhund so he is in the crate for long periods of time. The dogs must be in crates until it is their turn to work, and then also trials they are in crates. He has his own fan constantly going and a solar blanket to keep the heat down. Right now he's in a...

    Anyone own a Gunner Kennel? Crash tested kennel recommendations!

    Hi everyone! It's been awhile. :) I'm looking at investing into a crash-tested dog crate, as I'm on the road a lot with my guy, so I'm constantly worried about his safety in case we ever get into an accident. So far the ones I've looked at are: - Gunner Kennels - Ruffland Kennels (Though I'm...

    Cost?

    One thing I learned about dog training is you get what you pay for. Good, reputable trainers will have a cost. I strongly recommend doing research on the trainer, their accomplishments, training methods, and also maybe ask for previous clients for references if you're able to. Although I...

    Winter Walk

    Surprisingly he loves the snow even though he hates water? LOL It's funny to watch him prancing like a deer through the snow. It's me who didn't appreciate snow taller than my boots!!

    Winter Walk

    Good for you continuing her training, especially during winter chills! I am jealous - we got over a foot of snow and unplowed streets, no work for my dog and I for awhile lol Snow is up to his chest!

    Issues with dent in ear

    The one ear looks to be a pocket. I've had the best results using cotton balls as a "bumper." I put in however many I needed to push the crease out and secure it, then backer rod inserted and taped. The thing about pockets is you absolutely cannot let it crease again - this will essentially...

    Pockets?

    Yes, those are pockets. Bumpers are a must and you're on the right track on fixing them! :thumbsup2:

    Need help from anyone in canada.

    I'm in Ontario and unfortunately I do not know of reputable vets who can do good crops... I am sure there is someone in Toronto or in that area I assume. I heard Dr. Staples in London, ON was amazing apparently before he retired, but I heard from someone else that he trained the new owner of...

    Need help from anyone in canada.

    I believe ear cropping is still legal in Ontario - however, they are unfortunately gearing towards banning it some time or another. It's really only a matter of time before ON bans it too...

    Thoughts on those himalayan yak/hard cheese chews?

    I've seen those himalayan yak/hard cheese chews seem to be very popular lately - what are your guys' thoughts? Any risk like how antlers may risk teeth breaking? It says it's hard cheese - idk how I feel about that LOL. Debating on trying them, but can't find any pros/cons about them online.

    Help! Constant whining? I am going crazy

    Everyone above has given some good advice, and I just wanted to say my 2 cents! Although exercise is very important for this breed, relying on exercise alone to "tire them out" will only increase their endurance for the future. A 2km run might've tired them out this time, but next month they may...

    Congrats! I still have a sedan and I am just itching to upgrade to an SUV - I have a little travel crate shoved in the back seat but still not enough space LOL

    Hi. Another ear pocket problem

    When my puppy had pockets in the beginning, I continued to post with bumpers until he finished posting... I didn't want to risk it coming back again. I've heard some ears were fine for a little while and then the pockets came back. Personally, I suggest continue posting with bumpers until he is...

    E collar recommendations

    I have the Mini Educator and used it for about a year. Only critique I have is the battery seems to be dying after a year of use. Other than that, does the job and also has good distance coverage. Once this one goes, I'm hoping to try the Dogtra ARC!

    Jasper's VoyagersK9 Winter Coat

    I saw these coats before and was intrigued due to their design. I did read some reviews that the coat isn't very warm though, I heard it's fairly thin? How warm is it from your experience?
