    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!

    Better that they get a check up at the vets as this doesn't seem to clear up. Might they have licked the bird poop as well as the feed? I know that birds can carry disease. I would haven't have thought suet would cause caused an ongoing problem. Let us know what the vet decides please.

    Shaye's MomS
    The first time I brought Shaye to her vet, he had never seen one before - he told me he was delighted to be able to get to know another breed, and has since gone online and has talked with other vets and researched everywhere he could think of so he could find out if there were any special things to be aware of in treating her. Most vets will go out of their way to school themselves if your dog is one he/she has not treated, I think. He is now wonderful with Shaye and with Gemma too, and I'm glad I let her be the "guinea pig."

    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.
