I’m looking for a dog trainer who also specializes in service dog training, and I found one 40 minutes away from me. I’m a bit skeptical because I’m not entirely sure if they actually TRAIN the dogs to behave on leash. I noticed that in the photos most of the dogs had tools. So I asked the...

Okay so my gf and I moved in together last January. We both had one dog. Hers: an Aussie F age 4. Mine: Pit F age 4. The transition was not easy for the both of them as her dog had been used to it being just them and mine was used to a literal forest to roam. Over time our Aussie has done well...

She does NOT listen to me outside on a walk when people, bikes, kids or/and dogs are around, and there's usually a few around at all times during the day. I have tried to lure her back to a heel, but she doesn't care, even if I had a whole cooked chicken breast with me, she gets quite nervous...

Can you share any pros/cons about it and why you started using it?

In about a span of 5 minutes, my year and a half old clumber pup has lost the ability to move his front leg. One minute he’s wandering around the room and the next he’s whimpering on the floor and can’t get up. This was a complete 0-100 turn for him and it’s too late at night to bring him into...
