@thejoshbro Yeah! So with happy visits and sensory they are leashed and with their groomer for part of the visit, then kenneled at increasing increments. Happy visits are 20 including tax, sensory are 25, first bath is 20% off their normal weight based pricing, and the full groom is a special...

@alex001 Strict laws and federal licensing to be allowed to breed animals with strict penalties for being caught doing it that are enforced If the data on dog health weren't pointing to altering damaging the health of adult dogs if they aren't allowed to get the hormones (especially large...

@thejoshbro I'm a trainer rather than groomer, but I wanted to say how much I love it. I built a training plan for a salon here for happy visits and training visits. Happy visit is just desensitization to the stimulus of a salon with lots of high value and Jack pot treats but no service done...

@mcpugh 100% no one bothers my partner when he has the dogs, but even in his neon yellow "stay back, in training" vest people always bother me and my chow/Aussie/acd who doesn't like being closed in on by people in a direct way. Every time. Even more so with my young adult Pyrenees mix who is...

@jesussavedme2017 Thank you - I really began focusing on dog training after covid - I have degrees in microbiology and epidemiology and covid absolutely burned me out to a point that I've been shifting into training as my primary profession. It's always been a passion of mine when I did it part...

@jesussavedme2017 Yeah - my senior's fur is AWFUL to manage. the overcoat is brittle, the undercoat is fine and really crimpy and mats really easily. I have to use a rolled collar or he mats there, and we brush three times a day. The shedding is horrific as well. When he goes, it will probably...

@jesussavedme2017 It makes me think of the people who breed Merle into Chow Chows. I have an aussie/chow/acd rescue and as much as I love him, each of those breeds when well bred are lovely to keep, I struggle to understand why you would want the very difficult personality that results from...

@mgrehab I make the 4 hour drive to Houston and I can't recommend the practice enough. It's pricy, but they are managing the cognitive decline in my reactive senior and have been so wonderful.

@laarni You will absolutely want to read up on early socialization as Shibas can have more reserved temperaments "Puppy Socialization: What it is and How to do it" is a great starting point. Socialization is really important to giving the puppies the best chance of working out in the homes...

@mitchell 8-12 weeks is usually when you want to place them in homes. Barking is pretty litter dependent, I think, though I've only worked with breeders and shelters for early socialization and temperament testing rather than breeding dogs on my own.

@mitchell I'm a trainer and wanted to talk a little about socialization in case you end up with them longer than planned. You'll want to be sure to do early socialization starting at 3 weeks. At 3 weeks, you'll want to start introducing weird textures into their environment and begin gently...

@home4good Adopting a dog is usually a rescue or rehome, the fees in those cases are typically considered a donation to the organization that sheltered the dog, or in private rehoming as a way to help prevent the dog from ending up in a harmful situation as people with malintent are less likely...
