I just sent that link to my mom saying I wanted the sofa and loveseat covers for Christmas! Great idea Natalie, thanks for sharing!
In addition to Leave It, I also teach "Drop It" to get them to spit out things the already have. I taught this by playing fetch or tug of war. For example. when playing fetch, they bring the ball back, I take the ball out, say "drop it" and then i...
I have not tried a muzzle, but I do have two dogs who will eat anything and everything. The command "leave it" is your best friend. It is harder to get them to obey "leave it" where they are excited, like outside, but with practice they actually l...
As everyone else said, the slow 2 week method is the best. I also wanted to add, that when I first bring a new pup home, I like to keep him on his food 100% for the first few days to a week. There is so much stress already being separated from mom...
I used the Gentle Leader on my Aussie, he hated it so much he refused to take walks. The same company makes a no pull harness called Easy Walker that was recommended to me by a trainer, and I like it. It does help with the pulling. I use it from t...
I think you could with A LOT of practice. I really like this method ( I don't know if its really "a method," I made it up because nothing else was working, lol) because it teaches him focus on me. Anytime we pass another dog or person I say his na...
What?! Dogs on master loose leash walking?! Lol, just kidding (kind of). This is a tough one for my dogs. For me as a trainer, it ranks right up there with recall in terms of teaching. I think this one depends a lot on the individual dog too. Lyla...
Beth, I think the saddest thing probably is that the Aussie rescues are absolutely overflowing with deaf and/or blind dogs because Merle-Merle is often a quick way to make a buck. You tend to get a lot of Merles that way, which often can be sold f...
I don't know how it works in other breeds, and I won't act like I do. But I do know just a little about the Aussie world (just the beginnings, admittedly, but a little bit) and most respectable breeders would never breed a Merle to Merle Aussie. I...
I just have to get my two cents into this conversation because I find it so interesting. I am very interesting in getting into the world of Australian Shepherds. This is a breed that I love and I want to be involed in as intimately as I can. Howev...
That's interesting. I notice the same thing in Australian Shepherds (my personal favorite breed). There seem to be two lines. The bigger, stockier show lines with thick fluffy coats (more like the shelties) and then the working lines which are sma...

- About My Corgi(s):
- Lyla is my first Corgi. She is 7 months old and came from a wonderful breeder in Claremore, OK that I would recommend to anyone looking for a well-bred, pet quality Corgi. She is super laid-back and doesn't seem to have many of the typical Corgi traits. I don't think I've ever seen her FRAP (maybe in the backyard when doesn't want to come in yet), she is not food-motivated AT ALL and doesn't even finish her meals half of the time, and prefers being a couch potato to any kind of obedience training, agility, or walking around the neighborhood.... and don't even think about running, she won't. Training has been a challenge, but she has finally become reliable at "sit" and "down" and I am happy. She doesn't move enough to need many other commands anyway.
My other dog, Sky, is a Mini Aussie and is Lyla's polar opposite. He is tall and skinny, super obedient, and never ever stops moving. He loves Lyla, and she could care less if he's around or not. I guess that's just how girls are with boys! ;) Sky enjoys learning new commands and even as a 3 month old pup would do a 30 minute straight training session and still look eager to continue when I said it was over.
I like to say that Sky is my obedient dog that will excel in rally and/or agility, and Lyla is my naughty, lap dog that watches House, MD with me.

- You're telling me! Especially after getting to visit and then not being able to just take him home with me right there and then! But I've been biding my time by buying my puppy essentials, it's been a fun experience. haha :0)

- I did pick one out! Like Susan said in her blog, it came down to two little guys out of Ginger's litter and I just couldn't decide between them so I gave it a day and decided on one and I'm so excited! I'll be getting him the week of Dec. 7th!

Beni said… - I wanted to ask you about food, since you've done so much research on it. The only really good site i've found is http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/, and all of the top rated food has too much meat in it for a puppy. So what does one feed a puppy (or teenager, in our case) who is still growing? Is that how you picked your food? Are you planning to switch later, or keep them both on that food? Beni got a sample of EVO, and he really loves it, but I'm not sure it's suitable for him right now.

- I'm sure that the puppy will have a great temperament, every one I've talked to has been very happy with Sue's dogs. I will let you know once I know! And I love that blog too, I especially love the pics of the puppies with her granddaughter...

Rachael & TBE-Waffle said… - Everyone I tell just cracks up at the name "Waffle." They do look like waffles though! So flat (in terms of dogs, anyway) and waffle-colored-- the white parts are like butter or cream. Haha.
ALSO: Australian shepherds are totally my choice for a second dog. Seriously. You and your pets are awesome.

- They are stunning! Blue Merle Aussies are my favorite dog, but we don't have the life-style to handle Aussie energy. So we went with Corgis, and now I'm hooked on their goofy personalities.
Keep us posted on the breeding!

Jane Christensen said… - My Aussie was my daughters and then when they had a baby and Armani became protective...he came to live with us and our old weimeraner mix(the best dog ever) went to live with her as his hips are getting bad. Armani loves the country but he's had to learn alot...he is handsome! I love my corgis the best but I like having a big dog on our land!

Corgi/Pom in Tulsa area
Okay, this may be one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen! I have to stop this Craigslist addiction I have. He is up for adoption though in the Tulsa area if anyone wants him!

Halloween Pictures Up!
The Dog Dish put up the pictures from the Halloween party. Here is me and the puppies getting our prize basket. I can't believe how stinking young I look in this picture. I look like a teenager, lol. I guess I shouldn't complain! =)

Got Tacos?
Lyla waited until I left the room, and then decided to check out the Taco Bueno bag on the coffee table. When I came back, she was caught red-handed, so she just decided to play it cool with that "huh? I wasn't doing anything," face.

Neighbor Dog Woes
I think, for the first time in my life, I can truly understand what would drive someone to harm someone else's dog. I have put up with our new neighbors' dog for over a month now and all the horrible things that have come along with it. My dogs can't play outside unsupervised anymore because their dog starts fence fights (and as much as I hate to place the blame all on their dog and not think my precious pups could do any wrong, I have been working hard to teach mine that this is not acceptable… Continue
