Re: Rescue JRT, cat chasing and separation anxiety

good progress on crate trainging! Unfortunately a JRT is probably not the best breed choice for a house with cats..They are MEANT to chase small furry animals..and as to wether you can train her against it is going to be very hard to tell...definitely have the leash while around the cats. But also w...

Re: distracted puppy doesn't pee

i know how hard this can be! Personally I have never used a potty pad...To me, it adds another step to train them to not pee there once the pad is gone. We spent a LOT of time outside...going out every ten minutes atleast and every time she went potty outside gave a big "good girl potty!" ...

Re: Puppy figured out that cat poo is DELISH!

we have had the same problem...and I guess they like cat poo so much because cat food is so high in protien...therefore their poo is high in protien! we have pretty much trained our dog away from it...at least in the cat box. Outside is another story. We used the leave it command and it hasn't been ...

Re: Food Obsession!!!

thats just it...we do all of that. We feed them all separately, monitored..and we feed her more than she is suppose to get fed...which i dont like doing anyway...she would eat until she threw up if we let her. Giving her more to see if she'll "get full" is out of the question. She ate six ...

Food Obsession!!!

Hi everybody! My husband and I have a VERY hyper aussie (and we're thinking lab mix)...she is crazy smart, and obeys....but she has over excitement problems (shakes and wiggles and cant contain herself!)...which is to be expected of a puppy of such breed (she's 8 maybe 9 months old). But the worst t...
