Broken Glass

Thank you all, I will definitely try your advice. GentleLake he is a rescue dog and I think he is insecure. It would be OK except he is super heavy he is almost 50 pounds! I will post how it all goes.

I feel I must be in an odd situation but hopefully someone here can advise? Stanley my 5 year old dog from the shelter steps on me daily and it leaves really bad bruises on my feet. I am exasperated at this point because it also really hurts! I don't know how to stop him because I'm not even sure he knows he has stepped on me. Help?

I am not an expert but she looks like a border collie to me. she is also BEAUTIFUL!

He is so silly.

Thank you, I apologize for my oversight.

Thank you GentleLake and I will try to get my hands on those books. Also thank you to everyone who replied.

Any idea why Border Collie popularity has increased in the last 2 to 4 years? Is this surge harming the breed? The local shelter gets BCs and BC mixes regularly.

What is Border Collie culture?

Randy HATES anything agility like but Stanley likes backyard agility. Don't feel inadequate all dogs are just different, Randy is stubborn and ornery but I love him. So please just enjoy your dog, he totally sounds like a winner.

D'Elle, thank you.

GentleLake thank you for the warning that would be very bad.

Cressa! Thank you so much for telling me about DMWYD thank you thank you!

That is so sweet. Randy has a stubborn streak, he hates being told what to do. LOL But Stanley is a pleaser.

How about Doggy Daycare? Most have options where you can enroll for 2 or 3 days a week to reduce cost. Even if she only went to daycare twice a week her alone time would be greatly reduced.
