@zande She also goes for a 4.5 mile walk twice a week, other days its a 1.5 mile to 2 mile walk. Then she gets 2 or 3 more walks that are half a mile to a mile every day.
Her recall is getting to the point where, when she's done being in heat, I'm going to start taking her to a fenced dog park to start training off leash recall in hopes of giving her an athletic outlet that way.
@zande Oh my gosh, is she fat?
We give her 2/3 of a cup puppy kibble, a few shreds of white meat chicken, plus training treats right now That's for the whole day. It doesn't seem like a lot. My mom's always talking about how Rogue seems desperate for food.
I use a 1/3 cup measure for kibble, and judge a half cup, to get the 3/6 cup measure per meal, 2 meals a day.
We use small size pupford training treats, a mix of beef and sweet potato.
@tanza i just stacked her yesterday outside on a bench. It was my first time trying and I didn't expect much, but she's a natural!
Oh my gosh, i want to hunt with my dog too! Tips?
You can't see it in the pictures, but she's got a good scissor bite. I've been training her on heel since she was a puppy, and she'll do it for treats pretty reliably. We haven't done much stacking work.
You guys think she'd do well in a show?
is it too early to tell?
I got her a sweatshirt and a winter jacket from "Like a Fox" basenji cloths. I paid in rubles! lol
I'll get you guys some photos as soon as she's done with visit from mother nature.
She didn't want to show me the side of her face, so this is as close as I got.
Rogue is going through her first heat right now, and I'm hoping that that is a good sign that all her plumbing is working as intended.
I've been walking a lot with my puppy rogue. We go on half hour to 1 hour walks daily. She's 15 weeks old today. She really seems to like getting out and moving around, and she's much better behaved when I walk her. We don't go very fast at all, and her paws look fine to me. What do you guys think?
Was having problems with heel training, and rogue was getting a little bit irritated around the collar area from all the pulling on walks. Today I got a gentle leader head collar at the pet store, and I have this nice onetigris bungee leash, so I carabineered that to my belt, and hitched up the bridle thing, and rogue and I had a nice loose leash walk right away. She doesn't like bridle very much, but I feel like she'll get used to it. I have a treat stick and i was trying to use that to heel train her indoors, but even when I put chicken in there and did training right before meals, she would lose interest very quickly, preferring to sit down and stare at me instead of following. Rogue always has her nose down, and wants to follow scents instead of following me. I thing the bridle worked so well just because it keeps her nose pointed toward me instead of the ground.
i bet that when rogues adult teeth come in she will be able to do the egg test though. she has a very soft touch when she wants to.
@beth314 I just watched this movie today. Its a decent movie, but the training that they do is pretty barbaric. LOL
Wow. he replied and he's willing to help me out! I hope I don't blow it. Wish me luck!
I contacted him. I saw he's got the blue lives matter flag flying though. Makes me think he probably won't like me very much. I live in portland maine, which is a pretty progressive area, and even so, as a young man I had very different experiences as with police from my nerdy white counterparts who routinely got let off the hook for their propane powered potato guns while I could barely get out of my driveway with out seeing blue lights even though I never touched a firearm or potato gun. Its funny how people can't get their head around why someone like me, a non-land-owning, non-white non-neurotypical person who just can't get a job really doesn't have any choice but to be a radical socialist. And its all over my Facebook wall, as that's just how socialists get things done. I wish we could all just understand that there is no such thing as lazy. Its one of many mechanisms that insecure people use to convince themselves that they are superior to other people. just another form of bullying if you ask me. Anyway, maybe someone else who isn't adamantly pro-antifa could contact him on my behalf? I know its a big ask, but I have to ask, for rogue's sake.
@jengosmonkey Well, right now, what she loves is biting people really hard, sniffing the ground and the air, chasing leaves in the wind, and chewing on gullet sticks and pizzle sticks. She also loves greeting anyone who comes to the door, and napping in my lap when I'm wearing pajama pants.
