For those of you who went the e-collar routine for training (not yard boundaries), did you do so with a trainer or own your own? I can't find a trainer around here that I like that uses e-collars and I'm a little leary about taking it on myself. I've been working Ozzy on heeling, and walking nice and he's better than he was, but still no where near to the point where I could trust him off leash with or without another dog around.

We did it on our own. The beep function was pretty easy to use as a substitute for clicker training, lots of info available online for that. She learned the buzz from the vibration came before a shock correction because we a used the vibration EVERY TIME before the shock. She probably only been zapped 5 or 6 times. Now when I beep her she looks at me, if she's focusing on something other than what I want her to do I give her a quick buzz with the vibration button and she stops, sits and looks at me.

Dear Killian (named after the street we found you on)

You were the best brew dog ever and will be forever missed.

Sincerely,
This grown man will cry next brew day.

Someone lied to the Howdy

Oh man, sorry to hear that. That's always really hard.

Thanks, it's been a rough week. We forget how much a part of us they really are until their gone.

He was great, over the years he had honed his internal timer razor sharp. He would show up at the end of a 60 minute mash, knowing he would get a big handful of grains. A 90 minute mash with Pilsner would throw him from time to time, but he was ok with it.

Not interested in posting pictures as it will take too much effort. I am curently staying with friend/co-worker/former roommate at my house. His dog continues to to be a "burden" to him.

Manny is sleeping at my feet after a massive 30 seconds of head petting. He has integrated himself into our pack without an issue and 90% of his behavioral issues...gone.

My dogs are all damaged in one way or another but they are bonded. The pack mentality is a real thing. Outside of his marking, he can realistically be a member of our family...so why is he such an ass the rest of the time (ok, probably because he is a lone dog that needs a pack...did I answer my own quenstion?).
Frustrated...

My russell girl is the best dog in the universe. Subjectively speaking, of course! She's sharp as an arrow and fast as one, too. She practices a personalised greeting style for each member of our family and even our regular guests. She even has amazing mind control super powers. And she's fearless, except when my wife takes her to the shower!

Had to look for a little bit to realize which end was the front on that dog.

 

[Rotor_Head]

Ever curious what bad dogs look like?

 

[AnOldUR]

Agree. Looks like something my dog would drag in from the fields and proudly leave on the porch.

The first time I brought him to the vet, I told them "Good luck to take his temperature". They thought I was kidding... They had a hard time finding the brown eye!

He got shaved last in August, at 3/8". He hasn't fully grown his coat.

Before his first haircut:

The best, most spoiled dog on the planet...George!

Bentley and Radar... You can probably guess which is which. Bentley is 4months, Radar is 5yrs.

Ha, I had a "radar", too. Miss her :-( This is Cinna.

 

[hunter306]

Great Looking Pup, look at those ears!!

I'm surprised, I get nothing but crazy looks when I tell people her name is Radar. Personally, I think it's really fitting.

 

[Misplaced_Canuck]

I bet he picks up Atlanta from Miami.

Here's my 4 year old when he was like... 4 months old.

He eventually grew into them, but looked like a big doofus for several months.

 

[Hello]

I just started fostering and this is Bronson, my first foster. He's 18 months.

Here is Wanda. Tail wagging. Never met anyone she didn't like, especially if you scratch her. 10 years old now.

 

[Onkel_Udo]

This is Wally when he was just 13 (year after we adopted him). He is playing Princess Buttercup in our "Prince Bride" theme at the Road America Lemons race. He is over 15 now and looks about the same. Slowing down a little everyday but just lives for the next race where he gets bacon and unlimited pretty girls to pet him and brush him.

 

[Onkel_Udo]

I guess I should show the rest of the pack.

Roxy is my blond...no fear,no concept of personal space and never met a stranger. Stolen by the ex-wife when she was being neglected. Actually had NEVER been inside a house and had three grass seeds growing in her ear. Estimated age...7 now

MJ is our most abused dog. Long story on her but she is likely going for the big sleep soon as her desire to maintain "alpha" status has made her a danger to herself and the other dogs. She is 13 and showing all the signs of severe dementia. Considering the head trauma she experienced as a pup (most of that skull is not original) it is not a surprise.
