hehe at least he's wearing a body suit, that unfortunately doesn't cover his face for when he falls head first...poor guy lol!

Hi and welcome and yes, we love pics!! I bet you would have some fun stories to tell about working on that film. I jus watched that movie not to long ago but for some reason I can't remember what kind of dog was in it though...wasn't it a skye terrier in the story? *scratches head* Nice to have...

If I could I would take Pixie in a heartbeat, I love those eyes and she reminds me of a dog I had growing up, a border collie/austrailian cattle dog mix named Oreo. Unfortunately I have five already and can't afford to take another. I hope you find them all homes and what you are doing is great!

Either that or he will run the other way when he catches sight of the dremel just to annoy you more and then you will have to chase him all about the house...that sounds like what my Beagle would do. Although I like the two liter idea on Orson's part, very creative!

awww hehe that was fun! I'm dog-sitting a shih tzu for a friend, she is sitting on my lap right now and she started barking like crazy when I started to pop the balloons! She is still all hyper and can barely stay on my lap lol! Thank you that made me laugh and I needed that today!!

hehe sorry I realized this just a few minutes ago...I was pretty out of it last night. I have a horrible chest/head cold and I was doped up on meds....never pretty. Sorry, let this one sift to the bottom if you wish.

Yes, the more I thought about it (breaking down the behaviors) the more it made sense to me. It's going to be hard to totally revamp my way of thinking and training, especially the aspect of thinking of exercises in terms of how many behaviors comprise them. I should sit down and make a list of...

This is all so cool! I love seeing what everyone's interests are outside of dogs! I forgot to mention that I have a deviantart account as well. I should look up a a breed-specific forum sometime that would be fun!

I've never really watched CM or read any of his books but one day I did happen to catch him alpha-rolling a dog on one of his shows as he was flipping channels. That was it for me, I really don't want anything to do with his methods. The Dominance theory has been debunked in the last few decades...

I don't have a background in dog aggression and unless I miracously obtain one in the next few minutes I won't be able to offer advice with the knowledge that it works or doesn't work but is there any body language leading up to the bites i.e. stiffiening of body, staring, cheeks coming forward...

Thank you! Yes I think you're right about some dogs being at a disadvantage physically. I guess I just never noticed the "rock" sit verses the "tuck" sit before because the other dogs I worked with never rocked into a sit for whatever reason. Luck on my part I guess. I will start doing that...

hehe, my beagle lifted his leg on me right before we went in the ring! I think I just happened to be standing where he wanted to go though, although why he was going indoors is beyond me, maybe another dog went there. Anyways I had to go into the ring with dog pee on my panty hose! As said...

That could be it, she just senses that he has different needs. Hopefully someone will reply who knows more than me lol! Thank you I learned something about autism!

lol that is great!! I'm at my grandparents so I'm going to print that and show them!!! That should make them laugh!!

What other online forums do you belong to? What interests you enough that you joined a forum about it? Anything other than dogs? Yes? No? Maybe. Who knows, you might find someone who belongs to one of the groups you do! I belong to: TalkCSI (for the orginal series) Tattered Torn and...
