I know I'm a little impartial, but my little guy seems to be so smart, and getting smarter all the time!  I just want to know if there are any books, videos, etc. that can help me learn to train/educate Odie to use his full potential??  Anyone know of anything helpful for me?  Thanks!

I forgot about week 2, but it's about week 3 now so I shall give a Rowdy update.  He had his 9 week shots recently and was such a good boy at the clinic, no whining, nothing. My boy is tough. Downside, they didn't mellow him out like the last set did... so he was extra energetic because he got to go on an adventure. We still had some fun :)

This little man has a lot of energy. He also is very stubborn and is living up to my name. I've been patient, consistent, and telling…

My thanks to everyone for your helpful and caring advice. I gave Howie the kitchen, with a clear view baby gate seperating him from the other dogs when I am gone, feeding him, or when we have company. I wanted him to still be able to see out at everything but know he is safe. Get this, when I removed the gate (when I was home) he would come out and visit but he kept going back in there. It was obvious he felt safe when away from the other playful lab and westie. Last night the kids…

So, here in NY we get LOTS of snow.  Weeks ago we got hit with almost four feet of snow.  We have four foot fences around our yard and the snow sat just inches below it.  I was quite worried my puppies were going to walk right over it!  Luckily the snow was so deep they were too afraid to travel off the paths they had created while the snow fell.  They lived in these paths for at least a week, because the snow did not melt.  We were actually snowed in for a few days.  For a long time after…

I joined this group hoping some Corgi lovers can help us where our vet can't. My ex brought home a Welsh Corgi she "saved" from an un-caring owner last Summer. My ex has left Howie with us as she and her roomate have cats. The prior owner got a new Sheltie puppie and Howie apparantly did not like the puppy...at all! She claimed Howie was biting the puppy and was snarling at it frequently, she said he was violently jealous. She put Howie outside all day in the Summer heat all season.…

I'm pretty sure that watching Bear with his new Kong Wobbler is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.  He figured out that the snacks come out - but when they don't pop out easily, he growls and barks at it.

I was at CVS pharmacy tonight and thought I'd check out the after-Christmas clearance. I found a 2-mug "The Dog" set with a cocoa packet. The mugs have  puppies on them, and I'm pretty sure one of the pups is a corgi. What do you think?

After the discount I got 2 matching mugs and cocoa for $1.25…

Technically, Luca is not my first puppy. I grew up with several dogs in and out of my life. We went through a couple of animal shelter dogs that had biting problems with my younger brother and one with chewing problems. We finally found a suitable dog for our family after a couple of years of searching. She was a red mini dachshund named Jasmine. A few years later after a move to the country, we got Ginger. She is a sheltie/lab/chow mix and she is the sweetest dog in the world. My family…
