My 5 year old border collie/lab mix Jett is developing some separation anxiety issues and is occasionally aggressive to other dogs. I'd like to get some professional help with this before it gets out of hand. In the hope that this info will help with a recommendation, here's the situation...

I've been searching for a very long time for glow in the dark tennis ball sized balls or even ones that have flashing lights inside that activate when it bounces. All the ones I can find are bigger or smaller and do not fit in a chuck-it. Why is this such a hard thing to find? thanks

I looked all last winter and as the fall slips away I am again looking for the coveted glow-in-the-dark (or lights on bounce) chuck-it sized balls. All the ones I can find are either larger or smaller than a regular tennis ball. Anyone know where to find such an item? I never would have...

My dog is a 3 year old border collie & lab mix. She is friendly with people and good with other dogs. She is sometimes a bit afraid when she is on leash and another dog comes up to her. At work she often hears the jingle of another dog as it goes down the hallway with its owner. She will...

I have a 2.5 year old Border Collie / Lab mix named Jett. I've had her since mid November. She was housebroken when I got her and knows how to go to the door and ask to be let out. She has had one 'accident' but really it was my fault for leaving her alone too long. I have a new...

I've been trying to teach my border collie / lab mix to stop pulling on the leash so much and to learn how to "slow down" but I'm not getting anywhere. Most posts I see about this suggest stopping whenever the dog pulls so they know that pulling doesn't get them where they want to go. The...

There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on these forums about good & bad experiences with particular doggie backpacks. I saw one post saying that it is hard to find one that stays on properly unless the weight is perfectly balanced on both sides. I'm hoping to find a good backpack for...

This is partially a follow-up to a post I made a few days ago: http://www.chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44245 I'm wondering what kind of guidelines I should follow in regards to how far my dog might be able to run at a given speed. I will of course be watching her closely and...

I'm fortunate enough to work at a place where I can have my dog with me at work. A lot of people here commute to work by bike and all of them use various trailers to haul their dogs in. I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with alternative methods of having your dog with you while...

Not all stairs, just the ones in my house leading to the finished basement where I live. They are steep, wooden, and obviously scare her. She knows that I get her food from down there, that I do things down there, and that I sleep down there. She really really wants to go down but is...

I've only had Jetty for about 2 weeks now. She's a 2.5 year old border collie/lab mix. So far she is well behaved and rather submissive. She's been to the same off-leash park for 5 days in a row with my friend/housemate who doesn't work during the day. I've been told that Jetty plays...

Hi all, I just got my first dog of my own about two weeks ago. My family always had one or two dogs while I was growing up but after going to college, moving away, getting a job, it is now nearly 10 years later and I finally get to have a dog again. I found 2.5 year old Jett at the Oregon...
