Hi all :) Khaleesi is now just a little over 5 months old. She was a breeze on the lead up until about a month ago. We would spray her with a water bottle if the lead got tight and gently tug back whilst giving a correction of "no". Now she will sometimes flinch if you say no as she thinks...

Hello everyone. We are first time doberman owners. A 10 month old female (we have had her since she was 9 weeks old) We have a 3 years old Shetland papillon mix female as well. They, for the most part, get a long. The sheltie is the Boss. As for our Doberman, her biggest issues is pulling. We...

Hey everyone. I have a 5 year old Dobe who I had since he was a puppy. I took him to obedience classes and he did great. He was crate trained for the first 2 years of his life.

I have a nine month old boy, named Beau, who goes immediately into flight mode when he feels something isn't right - and it's over random situations; anything from walking past an aisle in a pet store, an animal he's never seen before (oh lord, you should have seen him the first time he saw a...

Hello Can anyone recommend a good dog trainer in the Vancouver BC area? I have a newly adopted 1 year old doberman. She is a lovely dog, however she definately needs some leash training as she pulls and some manners when meeting other dogs on leash. Sometimes she is great, other times not. She...
