obedience

I have a 1 year old female that will not listen to any commands. Even ones that she was taught from a very young age. When I leave the room, she immediately jumps on counters looking for food and digs through the trash. I have a shock collar that works perfectly on my other dog, but I just don’t...

Hi all! Just wondering if any of you put your pups through AKC STAR Puppy classes and evaluations, and if you would recommend them to other pup owners? Our local obedience club will be starting the puppy classes at the end of October and I’ve been considering it for DeSoto. I’d just like...

I did something I've wanted to do for decades, show in Brace Obedience. Brace is very rarely offered and I was fortunate the Doberman Pinscher Club of the Tappan Zee offered Brace Obedience this year. The show chair was very gracious when I asked for Brace and included it in the offered classes...

I was impressed by an article I read on Wikipedia; it was about the Borzoi, a breed I had before Dobes, but I thought the insight into canine intelligence was accurate: Borzoi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia So often you see a rating of the top ten intelligent dog breeds, and the BC is in...
