    Lupi got her RATN title! And Lacy got RATI!

    We enjoyed a weekend of Barn Hunt with our Doxies. Our older girl got her Novice title in one weekend, as well as passing both Instinct tests we entered and our younger girl passed her Instinct test! All the Doxies there were enthused about the sport. It's really a lot of fun!

    your best advice

    There's so much advice I would give! But I agree with both suggestions: Teach your dog to love a crate, and only train using positive reinforcement methods. No matter how difficult the training can be, whether house training, teaching him to be quiet or not to pull on leash, remember your dog...

    Support needed IVDD surgery

    I haven't been in your situation, so don't have much advice that way. I just want to offer some encouragement. When my Doxie went down I found Dodgerslist.com to be a huge help and support. If you haven't already, please check that site out. So many good outcome stories there. Our girl...

    Constant lip licking and yawning?

    I'm so happy to hear that! You are awesome for taking the time to teach your dog about the world instead of sheltering her from it. Just keep doing what you're doing and the progress will continue, however gradually.

    Low Riders and Puppy Tales

    I chuckled aloud over the cake incident! That must have been such a shock when you saw it, but it seemed to have ended well! You're making me wish I had written down all the funny things my Lupi has done over the years.

    Non destructible Bed

    It's totally the stuffing! I swear mine think dog beds are just giant stuffies, waiting to be killed! We probably went through at least 10 beds in the first 6 months after I got my puppy. I hope the Maxx bed works for yours!

    Non destructible Bed

    Yup, you can dry it on low heat. The material stays intact. My older girl is almost 8 and she seems quite comfortable on it. I give my girls a few blankets in their kennel to burrow in since they don't destroy those!

    Non destructible Bed

    My girls have destroyed countless beds. I finally bought them an indestructible one. It's called a Maxx pet bed. It fits perfectly in the medium-sized crate they share and is machine-washable. They've had it for almost a year and have done no damage to it whatsoever!

    Lupi got her Rally Novice title!

    That's cool you looked it up! I only heard of Rally from Vizzla on this forum actually! Lupi really enjoys it, and it's a nice intro to competitive obedience-not too difficult, but challenging enough to be fun.

    Lupi got her Rally Novice title!

    This past weekend was the Purina National at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, Alberta. Lupi ended up having 3 out of 3 qualifying runs, and got her title. She also got High in Class for 2 of them! It was our first time competing, so I was really proud of her
