Off Leash

Christmas in July.

So, I just discovered today by accident that my female 1yr and 5 mos old, I thought was a gsd mix, I now believe she is a pure gsd, Panda Shepherd, they call her. Apparently it is a mutation and when I look it up, I see 100’s of dogs that look just like my Iris.

Well, let’s see how the pups do with fireworks on the mighty Mississippi.

Awesome day for my board Luna. At 5 mos she got to go off leash with my pack.

Yeah, another “common sense” law finally put into practice.

The Kennel Club which led the campaign has welcomed the news as a ‘historic moment for animal welfare’

E-COLLARS
Effective tool?
Lazy way of conditioning/training?
Harmful?
1st choice or last resort?
Necessary for Advanced training?

Here is my thoughts:
did they Not have well trained dogs before the invention of electricity?

It is clear in this short video,my gsd mix Iris, commands respect just by asserting herself into a situation she doesn’t like. Watch how the pups Luna and Ajax straighten up instantly.

Question for all dog owners. I got something in my left eye today and apparently I scratched my cornea. At any rate, tonight on 2 separate occasions, my GSD mix Iris licked that exact part of my eyeball! She has never licked my eyes before and - TWICE she has licked the exact spot my eye hurts.

To all your GSD owners, we should build a co-op just to make tennis balls and don’t charge anybody. We just ship them for free. We all pay four dollars a month, we get enough people we can do this.

One for the wife and kids and one for the doggies!

Just a basic training video with Marley, Ajax, Iris and Luna

Is Iris pregnant? I’ve noticed a quick change in her protective behavior towards a puppy that is staying with us. She seems to be “mothering” Luna all the time.’

After bath time!! Luna is such a good girl!! Not sure she is very happy with me right now.

Everyone waiting patiently for breakfast at the Offleash Camp.

So Ajax wasn’t listening to me this morning, all I wanted was a drop and  leave it and it was all over a dirty diaper
GROSS

Is there a way to run a poll?

I wanna know, what is the longest lasting treat for your GSD? (bones/antlers,etc don’t count) must be a destructible treat, edible and natural preferably but will allow a few synthetics if they are top notch.

And. How long does it normally last

Actually, I’ll go deeper I just started a new training method two days ago with my 6 1/2 month old GSD and my year and three month old gsd mix and I’m getting about 95% compliance using no voice even on blind recalls, one just now where Ajax was in the front yard and I was at the back door.

Patience! I learned that a couple of seconds before acting makes all the difference. Ajax was a bit too excited this morning and nipped my face! Fortunately, I paused with a pretty shocked and disgusted look on my face about to scold him, that pause is all Ajax needed, 2 seconds, licks and kisses right where he just nipped me. Wow, what an eye opener.
