    2 questions on my GSP.

    She is 11 weeks old. # 1. For the last two weeks I have had her, her ears have been like this: Straight up and pricked. Now they are like this: Hanging down and floppy. Is this OK, is it nothing to be worried about? # 2. Sometimes I take her off her leash on walks for a...

    Puppy Biting!

    I read it on a website, there was no harm in trying? It didn't work anyway. Today she bit me hard-ish and I said NO and left the room. I shut the door on her and she made a huge fuss.

    Bathing

    My puppy is 11 weeks old, I took her down to the beach and walked into the water, she followed me in and took a few waves head on, she didn't run away and seemed to enjoy it.

    Puppy Biting!

    My puppy has a biting problem. Here are the things I have tried: # When she bites, saying OUCH in a high pitched voice. She looks at me, bites again, I say OUCH again, and then growl. She ignores me and conitinues to bite, so I walk out of the room, but she follows at my feet and slips...

    Hello everyone! I just adopted an 8 week old German Sheperd and was thinking about teaching her Search and Rescue? Would anyone be able to provide tutorials or some helpful tips on how to do this? Thanks!
