So far so good here, we're getting Saskia out a lot more, playing ball and things more instead of just taking her to places where she can run and play with other dogs, working more on reinforcing basic obedience, making sure she sees the baby as a ... | |
We have a 5-month old 50 pound lab and an 8-year old neighbor boy who love to play, wrestle, roll on the ground together. Unfortunately, the dog now thinks that any child it sees is fair game to play the same way. Whenever the dog sees a child, it ... | |
Have you heard this story? It infuriates me. What doesn't make any sense is that the original owners were at the shelter every day looking for Bella and she was there the whole time. If the Humane Society has explained how that can happen, it ... | |
