My dog goes off leash with us all the time (obviously as long as its a safe area), is up for any training or activity, not reactive at all! Totally one of the most versatile breeds. I shave my guys down into a sporting...

    Let's Be Controversial

    Okay, I'll bite. :) I like and use prong collars and E-collars. I do feel like I "know" how to use them though, and use them as a tool. My dog doesn't use or need either now as I've faded them out. I strongly encourage people to rescue dogs, but all my dogs so far have come from good...

    Dry weather causing dry skin and itching?

    Hello. Yes dogs to get dry skin. As long as you have ruled out other things like you mentioned then I would add some Omega Fatty Acids (fish oil) to his diet. They will help better than lotion will. OFA's are a good idea in any diet as they help many areas of the body.

    The dog musing/vent thread

    Unfortunately you are probably going to have to get a longer/bigger collar. Would he bother the bandage if you spray bitter apple on it? Bandages are tricky though because of little circulation, moisture and temptation for them to lick/chew it off.

    Those with multiple dogs...

    Do you find that your dogs play with each other? If you brought in a second dog, did the established dog eventually enjoy it and play? Do they initiate play in the house if they are bored, or do you just have two bored dogs that you need to play with? I know that a lot of it depends on the...

    Draco pictures

    Thanks! Draco is a total twerp! Very few regal moments here! He is our only dog currently (though Im pushing for a puppy in the spring). My last dog was a standard too though. Standard poodles are the only breed for me! I have met some great mini and toys too though!

    Draco pictures

    I don't think that I have ever, or very rarely shared pictures of Draco here! This is Draco, my 3.5yo male standard poodle. He is the most fantastic dog ever (according to us)! ;) He really is such a joy and such a good dog!
