Thanks for catching that. Yes, it looks like I had a bit of a mixup. Everything should be in order now. Thank you!

Also, 7:00am mirrors 5-10:00pm. Is that correct?

Thats Sheep Dog and Poodle. He’s 5 months old and likes his puppy pool (small pool) but is unsure of going into our back yard in ground pool. He wears his Doggie life vest with no problem. We’ve tried getting him into the shallow end of the family pool, near the exit steps, but he refuses to step out. Are we going at it the correct way, to teach swimming to our little guy? His vest is attached via a 6′ lease for safety.

Thanks! I’m glad you like the new logo. It’s been a long time since we made any changes.

]]> Comment on Australian Shepherd Lab Mix – Get To Know The Aussiedor by Karina W. https://puppyintraining.com/australian-shepherd-lab-mix/#comment-461300 Wed, 12 Jun 2024 03:57:46 +0000 https://puppyintraining.com/?p=30670#comment-461300 My Princess Lily-Pea has been my soul dog for 15 years now. I’ve always known she is a lab mix. By all appearances she looks like a lab. Medium height. 60-65 lbs. All black except for a small white patch on her chest. The only thing that makes it clear Lily is a lab mixed with something else is her longer coat that’s constantly shedding. But she is more than worth it. The BEST girl. Calm, loving, loyal, obedient. Trustworthy, even when your plate of food is at her level and unattended. Never chews anything that isn’t specifically hers. She is intelligent and loves hearing magic words like “cookie”, “ride in the car”, “is daddy home?”. In her younger years she was always up for an adventure. She loved long road trips, camping, even riding in the ATV. She was a good girl always – even when home alone while I was at work. In the last two years, her health, energy and cognitive function has started to decline. I retired from work so I could be home with her. It’s been nice but she’s really fading now. The light is leaving her beautiful brown eyes and there’s no longer a pep in her step. I know I won’t have her too much longer. Her 16th birthday will be 12/08/2024 and I imagine she won’t make it. Facing this painful reality made me realize I need to know her breed. She is quite literally the most perfect dog. I did a dna test and was surprised to learn that Lily is a 50/50 Labrador Retriever Australia Shepherd cross. My heart has been breaking little by little these past few years knowing our time together is coming to a close. She doesn’t hear or see well anymore. She doesn’t recognize magic words. We don’t have adventures together anymore. But I love her endlessly and she will forever by the BEST girl. I would clone her if I could, but since that’s not possible, I hope one day to find another Labrador /Aussie mix whose even half as wonderful as she has been.

That’s great! Every puppy has been different for us. Unfortunately, some will cry in the crate for several days/weeks while others will barely make a peep from the first night. Thanks for sharing your experience!

]]> Comment on How To Potty Train A Puppy by Colby https://puppyintraining.com/how-to-potty-train-a-puppy/#comment-458682 Fri, 09 Feb 2024 00:49:39 +0000 https://puppyintraining.com/?page_id=4072#comment-458682 In reply to Mark Sanger.

Unfortunately, I haven’t raised a Boxer. Based on my experience with my dogs most 6-8 week old puppies will have plenty of accidents during training. Most puppies that young do not have full control of their bladder and often won’t know they have to potty until it’s too late. If you’re having any specific problems with potty training your Boxer pup then let me know and I’ll try to get you an answer.
