Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Welcome to you and yours Taz.

Check out our training, medical, and nutrition sections and you should find everything you could possibly need, with ever so few exceptions Smile.

Most of the "normal" stuff has been asked and worked through a number of times by the great people here, and even the out of the ordinary things have posts all over.

If you can't find what you are looking for feel free to start a new post and everyone on this forum will offer what little advice they can with what they went through or what worked for them.

Either way congratulations on your Foster and welcome to the forums again.

~Chris~

Welcome from Northern, VA! wave

Group classes would be really good for you're pet, because not only will you get the training, but he'll also get the socialization. The dog park is a great way of burning off energy too!

Congrats on the adoption! Smile

Welcome from a fellow new member and parent. We got Jeter our 14 week old one week ago today! I agree that this site is amazing. There is so much knowledge here and just reading it has really helped us in our first week. I'm positive without all that folks have posted we'd be insane right now. So PLEASE spend some time reading all of the great posts and congrats on the addition to the family!

He seems to be really nervous about car rides and when he walks he seems to be looking for something, with his nose almost touching the ground, also he is afraid of stairs

Hi Hi,

I also got my 2 at an older stage and one thing I can really recommend is to get the Cesar Millan's (the dog whisperer) Mastering Leadership DVD Series. It really helped us a lot!!
Lindor was sitting and giving paw in the first week that we got her.

The other thing that also helped is a clicker, it really works!

Kale and I welcome you from California Cool

Living with a Husky can be stressful at times, but extremely rewarding! With positive reinforcement training, and lots of love, I;m sure your boy will adjust perfectly Very Happy

Gf just texted me saying that he had diareea after pooping outside, I think I need to switch his food to gain free wildness, since I think the food I was given is Walmart brand

I really don't want him to eat anymore Purina, can I just give him some raw chicken or is that too fast?

Odin is BEAUTIFUL!!

Give him a change to adjust, its a new home where everything is different. Luckily he is eating, Zimba in his first week just took 3 bits and sat and looked at me Neutral

So I will say give him a few days and see if it gets better, in the meantime get some nice meaty snacks.
