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. |

| Sorry, I have to just brag a little bit. So Bode is a year old now and (fingers crossed) we haven't seemed to have too much "teenager behaviors". He's actually doing really well with everything. He's getting over his shyness with strangers, though it's been slower with men than women. He is also just fantastic in public. Took him to my BF's softball game last week and he sat there with me on the ground like a perfect angel the whole time. Then this weekend we were coming home from up north and stopped at an outlet mall. While someone was inside a store, another sat in the shade with him on a bench. He just sat and people watched. Our cabin up north sits on around 50 wooded acres with trails running through them and all that fun stuff. Bode has been listening really well, no signs of bolting and his recall is very good. So we decided to work with him off leash a bit since we were in the middle of nowhere and my parent's dog was there too who Bode basically just follows around anyways. So we attached a 15ft rope to his harness for safety and let him go. He stayed within visual sight the whole time and came back when we called. There were even times when my parent's dog, Riley, took off and Bode stayed with us. I would never risk him off leash in even a remotely populated area, but the fact that he listens well up north is really great since we go up there a lot and it's tough if Riley is running around off leash in the woods (he's a bird dog, so that's what he's trained for) and Bode has to stay on his leash, he gets too excited and pulls the whole time. I'm not fooling myself into thinking he can't take off after an animal or anything, but we're making progress =) Here is a picture of Bode and Riley snuggling after a fun filled day. It's from my mom's ancient cell phone, so not great quality photo. And just for fun, a pic from our kayak trip down the AuSable river. Bode and Riley sat this one out. |
