@countryboy14 Some old school german trainers used to not do much obedience training on their dogs for the first year. Then they'd get started with schutzhund training. I like to continue training all the time with short breaks as needed. I adjust the training when they are going in & out of...

@kouchris Personally not a fan of the round educator transmitters. Dogtra is a good brand. Educator Pro is better than the other educator collars imo.

@bpps Since you mentioned PNW, Sarah and Marko (Canemo) are in Southern Oregon. They are running a Xmas sale on their videos right now. In Salem, you have Kevin Schutzhund. In Portland you have Rose City, which has a ton of trainers involved. Huffman K9 is also often recommended in the Portland...

Oh and seminars are great, even to just audit...schutzhund ones you find from your club primarily, or following trainers you admire. Others you generally find the person you are interested in and check their schedule. Local kennel clubs may do seminars too. A lot of people are willing to help oh...

@bpps Given you are into IGP, I'd start with Canemo Dog and Tobias Oleynik videos. Tobias covers a ton of theory and Canemo are phenomenal trainers and good people. Depending on what your club is like, often they are run by trainers who are also willing to help mentor.

@devotedinhim Why is your vet checking for parasites by waiting to see if he has diarrhea rather than taking a sample in and paying for a definitive test?

@graemewagh Have you retested stool for giardia? It can be stubborn to get rid of and easy for them to reinfect. If that's not it, talk to your vet about EPI if she is losing weight while eating. Be care about creating a picky eater though. Dogs are gamblers and if they think something good is...

@kitchenlady 2 weeks of no jumping and keeping calm. Ask vet for meds to help with that.

@texasmustang Know your dog. My 8 yo female hates puppies. I'd definitely get a male.

@oranget Actually the trainers suggestion to scrap walks until have loose leash walking is a good one. This doesn't mean you stay home, it just means you stop putting the dog in uncontrolled situations where it practices the behavior as the behavior is self rewarding/reinforcing.

@mnewyork If you can I'd suggest a Pet Trust set up in your state so that there is something to enforces your wishes for him.

@passion3545 Leave it is a great command. Mine learned "out of the kitchen" as a command the day I dropped a bowl and it shattered. Very useful piece of boundary training. I must've made an impression as they still remembered it.

@anonymousbl Planet Dog Orbee Tuff balls

@kfalla1984 Actually, I think you did a pretty good job.

@pete1507 How old? Probably training and teaching him to relax and chill some vs constantly needing/pushing for attention. Limit access and establish boundaries so you don't have to constantly correct him from things he shouldn't be into.

@lisab123 Could still be move stress, or still getting over the Lyme disease?

@oranget Sounds excited, frustration based (wanting to check things out or chase) vs fear based (attack or run away). What have you done to teach loose leash walking under distraction at lower thresholds? I would skip walks in favor of controlled training situations to work know that.

@biblelesson How was the grass allergy diagnosed? Skin testing? See a dernatologist. You can do allergy shots, benadryl, apoquel, cytopoint. Definitely check for yeast and treat with Claro if yeast. Antibiotics are not for every ear infection. Look into gut health. Given the rounds of...

@chinyereukoha Honestly, I think one of the best programs out there right now to cover philosophy is Tobias Oleyniks subscription service. There is a wealth of theory in it. He runs a 3-5 day free trial period. It is mostly sport oriented, but some of the best trainers I know are also sport...

@yozefel You don't say what training you have been doing to stop this problem? Sometimes, you just need to tell them to knock it off. Other times different methods are needed. It is really dependent on the dog. I would strongly suggest a balanced trainer.
