Thank you for the input. We are on the way up to our breeders house who also happens to be a vet tonight. We are hoping its minor...

hi chris and charlie! wow charlie is SO handsome and getting big! i can hardly see the butterfly on his nose anymore. they grow up so fast! take care!

Hey Chris - How you and Charlie doing ? Brynn and i have been very busy with out of town guests .She is getting ready for her surgery next weekend . My baby is growing up so fast !
Hope all is well with you guys :))

ok Bailey's got down DOWN!! i couldnt help but try again when i got home and he finally did it consistently. haha. well only if theres a treat on the floor. gotta work on that. once perfected.... bye bye treats! thanks for the encouragement!

Haha.. But guess what.. I've already seen that video! LOL! I was trying to look for tips, and I actually ran across that video.. And at the end I found myself scratching my head saying.. Wow oh great that was a lot of help! =P Yeah he'll eventually get it!!! It is a short legged thing!! =) Thanks!

hes actually a VERY obedient dog, so i am really starting to think the nipping is just out of instinct/wanting to play and a puppy thing. He'll sit whenever i tell him to, even without a treat. That's cause I taught him the first day he came home at 8 weeks. he's really good about that. And he knows wait (for me to put down something and say OK! before he can go near it like treats/food bowl), jump (over my leg since hes still a tiny thing) and im having the hardest time teaching down (I haven't much attempted cause it seems to be goign nowhere). I'm going to work on drop it/take it, I saw your post in another forum. Going to try that this weekend! I think he's just easily bored. Gonna get him some kibble dispensing and other toys this weekend.

Thanks Chris and Charlie! =) I'll let ya know how it goes.

Hi Chris & Charlie! This is kinda a side question on the snapping issue in the forum. Instead of posting it there, I thought I'd ask you there. As you might know, Bailey currently has a problem with biting peoples pant leg's and then if we try to stop him or get him off the pant or shirt- he'll go for our feet or hands. I asked my breeder, and she recommended a spray bottle. Spray and follow with a "NO!". Before trying this, I was wondering what you think?!?!

not a problem... I had heard of alpha rolling before and remembered that article when I looked it up the first time. It really puts into perspective what your dog is feeling when you do that.

Definitely not the message I want to give to my little ones :/

I firmly believe that true pack leaders need to earn the respect of their pack without violence... they can't just take it.

Your corgi has the same crooked white marks on his face as mine does. I think it gives them character instead of being so symmetrical.

Charlie, you sure are handsome!! I love the pics of you and your cat friend.

:)

Chris - your answer was not too long - it's what I had been guessing about Kai. He is the sweetest dog, just every other dog seems to want to prove how macho they are around him - and Kai just looks at me like "what did I do" I'll take your advice! and maybe we'll let Luna be his guard dog....

Charlie is really cute!!! It's almost hard to discribe him!!!

Hey Chris, I thought you might be able to help me with this. Last night, the "bad one" Luna decided she was gonna run up to a couple Huskies and introduce herself - which the dogs had no problem with. Kai saunter's over, tail wagging and everything, and one of the Huskies instantly goes agro on him. This is the third time a dog has gone after Kai - you know all about the great dane. Are some dogs just targets for attacks? and what do i do about it?

Lol! I don't even think I could pronounce it! I'm not even going to try!

Thanks, Chris for your thoughts on Kai! he's in love with his ball! and I think secretly enjoying scaring the crap out of Luna! How is Charlie?

I didn't know about the taping til just recently. What is
the procedure? What kind of device, and tape? I think
he is adorable as is, but he would be MOST handsome
with his ears at attention.

Chris - Thanks 4 your kind thoughts - Kai is feeling a bit better, Luna is "trying" to help (NOT!) but we are very hopeful. Kai has always been a special boy, and will continue to be one. BTW - your knowledge and your facts that u share are not trivial - we quite enjoy them.

Hey Chris - Nice new layout :) want to thank you for all your advice !!! Your so helpful .I went back to using a harness yesterday , and guess what ? No leash chewing !!! Yay!
We seem to have good and bad days on our walks .Brynn is so hyper at times and will not listen to me on our walks. I have to say "Sit !" a few times and she will do it , but it takes awhile.Other days she is so in tune with me ,and wants to please me ,and is aware of everything (with the exception of a blowing leaf )
I'm finding out Brynn is a tad jealous if i pet other dogs on our walks .LOL She doesn't like to be ignored .:)
How is Charlie doing ? Still walking with you ?
