Shamas has gone a while without a bone, and we got him some new ones this week. The first thing I noticed: Matt walked by and got growled at. I'm not too happy about this. Shamas has never had an issue with resource guarding before. He had to be taught that the cats also needed feeding, when...

I'm heading out into the work force. Any suggestions for busytoys for when Shamas is home with hubby while he sleeps? I have 1KONG....that's about all. Shamas destroys all of his toys, so I generally keep them on top of the fridge. He gets a bone once a week, and he steals water bottles and...

Hubby is taken with the videos fromt he Canny Collar company-out of control shelter dogs, returned because they are un-walkable...now well behaved because of the canny collar. it's basically a modified head collar as far as I can tell- when the dog pulls, his nose is dipped, rather than pulled...

I'm so proud of Shamas! My boy was so fearful of other dogs when I got him that he'd automatically pick fights and threaten them. Today two young shephards charged us with a clear "THIS IS OUR PARK!" and Shamas simply turned and said "I'M BIGGER THAN YOU-BACK OFF" and air snapped above their...

What's a good weight for adult male lab? When I got Shamas, he was 55lb, and seemed pretty thin, lacking muscle mass he's now 62lb, and looks pretty near perfect to me....well muscled, no longer limping on that back leg except during damp weather, good shape.....what do you think? I'm from a...

I thought it would be funny to share some of the weird things our dogs do. You know, the everyday stuff that they do every time. Shamas wags his tail exactly twice every time he goes to lay down

I have to choose a grocery store food brand. As we were pulling out of the dog park last night, we grazed a pole. The damage is significantly worse than it looked, and the van's a write-off. We can bus to the grocery store and cab home..and get meat at the butcher. Also hubby works in a...

Time to set up a training regimine for cat tolerance. When we brought Shamas into the house, we did everything youre supposed to do. For the first month, we had him in one room, then he was on lead. He was not allowed to chase, he was rewared for calm behavior. The works. Problem was, the...

We adopted Shamas on October 27, 2017. Those of you who know me, know our story. He was afraid of everything, from traffic, to dogs, to noises normal in the city..and people too. He chased our cats, pulled my arm badly chasing a cat on the walk, went after a neighbour's small dog...and was...
