Let's See Your Dogs!!

My 11 year old Chesapeake comfortably laid out on the sofa.

 

Bad ass picture dude
Was that with your phone?

 

No phone. Was playing with my DSLR. Couldn't believe the damn dog stayed still as long as he did.

 

I was building fence, but every time he would lay down I would grab the camera. As soon as I would lay down to take his photo, he would grab his tennis ball and bring it to me. I finally got him to stay down, and got him to relax.

Beer, dog, Tacoma....does it get any better? Took this while enjoying a post ride(mountain bike) beverage in the driveway.

 

So Lucy helped me work from home on Friday by making sure no one molested my truck.

 

More puppy Denali...Dang, I have forgotten completely what it's like to have a puppy (18+ years)




I was told today that grey hair and kids don't mix well.....no shit!

 

We just got this new buddy a couple of days ago ..

 

Puppies

 

What kind of dog is that?

 

And my boy Max

 

This is "Colt", our Shiba Inu.

 

Cute! Weim?

 

My bloodhound has been gone since early December in kennel training. She's coming home next Wednesday.

 

I hate all you guys right now... missing my girl, and I'm just not sure how feasible a new dog is in my current situation

 

Yes ..

I'm tending to disagree with this. I'm not an old timer and all of my GSP's have been completely finished (stay/whoa & come when told, steady to wing & shot, retrieve to hand and steady in blind...that's my definition of a finished dog) and I've never used an e-collar. Having said that....we don't have gaiters up here either. I run no collar while waterfowl hunting....don't want to risk that collar getting caught on anything.

Edited to add: E-collars are very misunderstood and are often misused as "punishment" tools and in the wrong hands can totally ruin a dog.

In the right hands, they are valuable training aids.

 

since we're on training again, how do I train the people around me to not be dicks and undo training that im trying to instill on the pup? I have literally considered giving the dog away because people are infuriating me with it. asking doesn't help, yelling doesn't help. should I put the shock collar on them and zap them when they interact with her wrong? man that would be a beautiful thing.
