The vet came over this morning after she struggled last night. Char went peacefully while we laid in bed together. Thanks everyone! The vet waited maybe 2 minutes and said you going to get another pointer? I laughed said why would you think that? Then I said OF COURSE! I have a big heart and can't w...

Well she has fluid in her lungs. The last few nights were really hard for her to breathe. I said my goodbyes last night and hoped for the best today at the vet. The findings, fluid in her long and low grade soft tissue carcinoma of a type that's nerve sheet tumors under both armpits. The plan was to...

Been a long couple months. My dog had a mammary tumor removed. Then a month later had a second false pregnancy. Few weeks after I took Char skiing with me, 30 minutes into the day she stopped walking. Started panting really hard through her nose and would not breathe through her mouth. I had to carr...

Otherwise grind it up in put in their food like I do with the daily dose of Dasuquin.

Thanks for this, the Dasuquin was the exact pill she isn't eating. She started eating the soft chewables from the vet. So thats a start. Great tip though.

I need a way to give my dog pills. She won't take them. Shes almost 10 and has outsmarted the pill pockets, cheese and peanut butter tricks. Now what? Crush them up and add them to her food? What else can I try. Really not wanting to play pry the mouth open game anymore. 1 chewable soft 2 chewable h...

been a while since I posted. Any ideas what could be causing this? 7 Year Old is forgetting her Commands acting neurotic? We were walking today and I gave her the heal command and she laid down? I told her to lay down inside the house and she was trying to shake my hand. Seems the last few months sh...

UPDATE:

Dogs is 11 weeks old, asked if the dew claws had been removed his reply "no not yet"

media310

thanks team. Appreciate the feedback.

I wonder on the dew claws, I wasn't paying attention. But just seems weird all around, however I guess some people breed these dogs to make a buck. I just pray he is able to grow up fast (the owner) that is.

Ok, I am now working 12 hour shifts. My dog is being watched by a local trainer / dog boarder during the day for $30. The money is tough, especially since I make $18 an hour. So the guy said today that if we can't figure out how to stop her from digging, she won't be welcomed back = I either quit my...

I have been going back and forth as to whether or not I want to put more GSP out into the world. Char is papered, great on birds, wonderful family dog and a full on athlete.. Plus she has a very classic GSP look. So lately I have been thinking of instead of breading her, having her spayed and then a...

night and day dog, thanks again team! So much better today all around

media310

Not clear on what your question is...is it the quivering that bothers you, or that you feel pressure from the dog to do something? I think it's normal for a dog to get quivering with excitement especially when they know fun time is about to happen. There's not much you can do about that, they can't...

I really should come to this board more often, and not just when things are challenging.. But here goes. Char is now 5 years old, we hunt in the fall. Bike and run all summer, and get lot of days backcountry snowboarding in the winter. She gets a TON of exercise... Is too much of something a bad thi...

The dog seems to know it is better not to run on a full stomach. Don't turn this into a "power play."

Bill

Bill,

We tend to not get out into the field until after 12pm, most times its closer to 4 or 5pm..

media310

I tend to not get physical with my dog, especially a GSP.. So thats how you win so many metals is by force? Swell

media310

I won't put up with any of that crap. Enforce her obedience . X 10 Sounds like the dog controls you. Maybe grab her or him by the nap of the neck and butt . Shake her up a bit. Be firm, you rule and let the dog know.it Might do you and the dog some good. I agree with part of your statement :) Not s...

Thank you good to know! Funny when she used to go to day care in the mornings she learned to eat her food as soon as it got put out..

media310

this has continued big time.. I am now making sure I walk out of the door first. I make her sit, I open the door, I tell her to go potty and she sprints out the door, so high strung. She does her business sits on the porch to come in and then boom, runs straight to her water dish or kennel. I cant f...

oh here we go again.. my 4 year old GSP is not eating in the morning. She will ONLY eat after our runs which happen daily. I am sick of this and feel that when I put the food down it needs to be eaten, just like a parent would. Right? I have started pulling the food dish if she doesnt eat, its hard ...

off leash for 30minutes - 2 hours a day going wild in the mountains.

But good point on the athlete at its peak.

media310

Lately my 4 year old GSP has been sprinting in and out of the house. Is this normal? She is so high strung inside the house unless shes in her kennel. Do I need to leash her and walk her through the house to show her "inside" pace? Is me running with her, backcountry snowboarding and mountain biking...

Can anyone recommend a good front seat cover for hunting season - mud season? I have a full size Ford Bronco.

Interested to know what everyone else uses ( or do you just kennel the dogs )

media310

Wow, that method looks great!!! I will be sure to try that next time.

Today was our 3rd day ever hunting! Char was trained over the summer with a great guy names Nick Muckerman for 3 months in Idaho. Can't believe how well she is doing. Was great to see her pointing birds, and best of all bringing them back to us!! http://mtnweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Wyomi...

My dog lives inside, we play outside normally in the snow. We can drive about an hour up the road to the snowline and she loves playing in the cold for hours and hours. However the rain is different. I have to assume there are a few people on this board living in WA or Oregon. If the rain coat helps...

Help, we just moved across the country and can't find the box that holds our Sport Basic G3 EXP charger??? Does anyone have any extra they can sell or know if I can order one through Tri Tonics?

Ezzy,

"May be time to change dogs if they can't handle a little rain." - I hope your kidding and thanks for wasting space on the boards for a serious question.

Thanks team, I was wondering did I do something wrong to bring this on? Or is it more of genetic breed thing? She has been acting really kooky!!

Any advise on this? Vet noticed it the other day. She has been swollen for months..

Thanks for the Mental Stimulation for Dogs link. I also appreciate the info about mixing up the runs, smells etc. We live on a 300 acre ranch so were out exploring daily. Mostly off trail, hills, ponds, streams etc.. I think the problem is my Irish guilt, I feel awful if my dog is not getting to run...

Do you keep your dog in a kennel while in the house if your there? The reason I ask is my 14 month old GSP is really driving me nuts.
