I know in people, whatever pain is the most current is usually considered the “worst pain they’ve ever had” compared to anything they’ve experienced in the past. It’s hard for humans to compare pain in the now and pain in the past, so I wonder if d…

From my experience, Kohji understands more equals better, I believe this because he will offer the same trick over and over to try to get more of whatever reward is being offered. He will not stop after one trick and one reward. I have never reall…

When Kohji got into that big, nasty fight with News the Dutch Shepherd I had, he came out of it with no punctures or open wounds. I'm sure he was bruised but I couldn't see it with all of his hair. He was bitten on the back and side of the neck, a…

Kohji knows the command "get in your cage" and 99% of the time he goes in perfectly. One time he went and hid under the kitchen table, and another time he ran behind a plant and waited wagging his tail at me. I swear he did it just to ma…

@Brego_mellon_nin, take a look at this "ladder of aggression", I found it pretty helpful: http://www.angleseypetclinic.co.uk/pdf/dogs/aggression.pdf

@Brego_mellon_nin "Any ideas/thoughts om this?" I would study canine communication, body language specifically and you will eventually begin to see when Eowyn will start showing signs toward the another dog that she wants it to retreat. …

When it comes to people taking their puppies to dog parks to "socialize" them, I think of it like this: would you take your child to a prison and throw them in to socialize with big scary adult men and expect everything to just work itself…

Wow, those pictures are breathtaking!
-
Maybe it's not his hips, maybe it's his lower back. Does he carry his tail down a lot?
-
I dunno, with all that said he could have mild hd, a luxating patella or it could be nothing. I wonder if that's why he was snapping at Ahi when she was near his rear in that vid you posted in the other thread. Taj also has underdeveloped muscles …
-
What does he do that makes you think he's in pain? And when you say weak in the rear, like wobbly, laying down on walks a lot, dragging his rear legs, knuckling over, ataxia, slowly moving his rear end down in the middle of doing something, trouble…

His hip sockets look a little shallow to me, I am not a doctor however. But, comparing them to x-rays of police dogs who come in for hip and elbow clearances for police work, they don't look as deep and seated as those. Jmo Now if you search no…

Kohji did the exact same thing with my female former roommate's things. Never caught him in the act, but he constantly destroyed her things, primarily clothing. I don't have any other good advice for you other than telling her if she seriously doe…

http://www.ireinforce.com/zoomility.shtml Check that link out real quick Renae, even better if you have a chance to actually read the book the little excerpt is from in that link.

All of those links posted above support a better way to communicate with your dog. Science is constantly changing, people are learning new ways to communicate with their dogs every day, Cesar on the other hand isn't teaching anything new, he's sti…

Hey Renae, thanks for your comments. Just a few things I wanted to point out. You mentioned you use the shh verbal punishment, the finger touches and the leash jerks to stop your dog from doing the unwanted behavior. By using a positive punishme…

Renae - what methods have you used on your dog that made the dog improve it's behavior? What type of behavior was the dog exhibiting that you were unhappy with enough to try Cesar's methods? Which methods did you try on your dog that did NOT impro…

I think we started doing agility when Kohji was like 3, 4, 5, I don't remember. He was well into adulthood though, and we had completed obedience and rally obedience classes first.
-
Kohji loves agility, he's really good at it. The trainer I was working with was pretty impressed with his speed and jumping abilities. He's good at obedience too. They might be good at flyball but I've never tried it with Kohji, it would be a rea…

A hoarder is someone with a degree of mental instability who continues collecting animals despite the fact that they cannot properly provide food, water, vet care and clean living conditions. A responsible owner or caretaker provides all of those t…

Xanax can create a low grade amnesia effect on your dog depending on the dosage. It also increases your dog's hunger, so Koda would be hungrier than usual if you were to use it along with some classical conditioning. Kohji was prescribed Xanax by …

Taj, my black and tan Shiba, has that same teeny tiny dewclaw on her paw too, but on the inside of the paw where a normal one would be. When I got her, the breeder said she had her dewclaws removed. After further inspection, I realized she had one…

When I used to ride horses, I used a spray grooming product called Show Sheen to get burrs and mats out of their mane and tail. It smells great and makes hair super shiny. I used it to clean my guys up for professional photos they had taken awhile…

He's looking great! Such masculine features, his ears are shaped really nicely imo. I don't remember, is he going to be used for breeding down the road?
