Meet Sascha…I’ve been working with a friend/client who owns this Czech Shepherd and at the time you posted she was only 14 weeks old. She came from a reputable breeder and I’ve been working with this couple to get their dog started out on the right paw. They follow all of my recommendations and do their own research as well…so far so good. The…

@virginiad I love the idea of changing the substrate to give her a clue as to where to go. I’ll observe the new set up this weekend and talk to the client about all of these great suggestions ! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the suggestions @catherine . I will return to visit tomorrow and will check out the ease of opening the new door. As for limiting space, that makes so much sense! will suggest it but like you said it may be difficult with the other dog there.

(See video) obviously he’s very food motivated 😂 @grace thank you for introducing me to Mari…

This is such an important conversation, Evan, because new day care/boarding facilities are popping up all over my area. Many years ago I started to take my pointer/pit mix, Sydney, to a day care and occasionally overnight boarding facility. She seemed to do pretty well but they did comment to me that she didn’t have an “off” button. For…

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll check out that channel.

I’ve started walking a GS who is extremely hyper and reactive and her owners can barely handle her on walks. First walk was a challenge and she almost dragged me. After reading one of the LLW posts about letting a dog sniff at the beginning of a walk I tried it and made a huge difference. I was pet sitting her for a week and would take her…
