Well, we made the decision to neuter our pup; deciding that we didn’t want to stud him out and we didn’t want him roaming and producing litters with random females. The decision to neuter or spay an animal is always one that can cause controversy and...

As we have been working on our “walks” suddenly, my puppy has taken to try to take me for walks. He grabs his end of the leash, puts his head up high, and walks me. Interestingly enough most of the time he is walking right next to me, which is where he is...
