    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    I Definitely do not think he has learned on thing from his ordeal, he tries to gun it as soon as the door opens, to get into the front yard. Now I have been working on him to sit if the door opens and so far so good..but I don't trust him.. Either way he is feeling much better in his body, his stomach is still upside down, severe diarrhea, has lost 1.6 lbs since monday, not good. I just came back from the vet and they ran several tests, nothing came back suspicious, so we are doing a 30 day cure of probiotics, a wormer to be on the safe side, as well as a 3 day cure of antibiotics. He is not acting as if his stomach is sore when palpatated, which is good, according to the vet..He ate two servings of food when we got back, well I actually just gave him one more, because he was acting as if he was still hungry.. Again, thanks for all his well wishes.. On a different note, the vet was giving him some treats and after giving him a few she continued to talk to me….he wouldn't have any of that..he started talking to her in a really weird growly manner, it was so funny..he has never done that before..needless to say he got more treats after that.

    yes the M is for Mia in the tree, and we all have one since our names are Michelle and Mike lol. People say her coat looks painted on all the time actually. It's very soft, and she barely sheds unless she's nervous. I feed her these natural/organic treat. Vida for coat and skin, and Pet Botanics Omega Treats with chicken and sweet potatoes. She absolutly adores them! http://www.petco.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=1107534&cm_ven=pricegrab&cm_cat=14&cm_pla=1107534&cm_ite=1107534 I was trying to find a link for the Pet Botanics product but no luck. I get these at Petsmart, but I am sure they have them anywhere. Just look for something promoting Omega 3 or 6, and natural or organic is the way to go :) I noticed a diffrence in her coat maybe after a month. I give her about 2 treats of each kind a day.
