    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Seperation anxiety at it's finest lol

Their master that they are bonded to left to visit a neighbor down the street, yes they are mine as well but they freak out when he leaves, I am always coming and going so they do not do this when I leave lol. Only if I take one of them with me will they freak out when I leave. This is the only real issue I have with my pack and if we left them alone for any length of time this is what they would do amongst other things like eat the doors trying to get out.One time we left karl and his mother at home and we were gone maybe 2.5 hours and when we got home he was outside and kiva was still inside lol and apparently he must have barked the whole time he was out there because the next day we had spca here to discuss a noise complaint lol, that is when we found out karl can open doors lol and last week we found out he just mastered opening round knobbed doors as well , so bring on the high up slide locks hahahahaha BRAT he is!!!

How fast does Prozac take effect?? lol

Turn your speakers down, its loud hahahahahaha

I turned my little security camera in-wards facing for a week one time, to see what Apollo does when we're gone, turns out he basically sits at the front window watching everything the entire time. I guess I should be glad he doesn't fuss the entire time, cause yah, even with every door and window closed you can hear him bark all the way out at the street!

We brought our pup into Walmart yesterday.. He rides in the cart.. I had to use the rest room and when I got out of his sight my wife said he went nuts!! Barking and trying to jump out of the cart.. When I came out I heard him barking(embarrassed)as soon as I walked into his view he stopped sat down and cocked his head.. Kinda like oh me? Just waiting patiently for you to return:) lol

Is that poor Steve sitting by the camera quiet but stressed out? It's a protest. I seriously wished Hector understood what STFU meant.

and Karl is like "oh hell no. You don't eat without me"!! That was hilarious and the rest of the crew were like lawn ornaments, they didn't even move!

Those pitiful cries make you feel sorry for their obnoxious asses! I also have a door opener (Magnum) and have already had to install high up locks. ALSO, I just realized that Magnum has separation anxiety BAD if left home alone. He is fine regardless of how long I am gone as long as Ruger is there but last week when I took Ruger to the vet he went nuts screaming, crying and attempting to tear the house apart. Luckily my sister was there very shortly after I left and although she could keep him from tearing things up, he still cried and howled for a long time until he just couldn't anymore. I didn't realize that he had never been left without Ruger. As soon as Ruger was home, he checked him to make sure he was ok and passed out for hours peacefully.

I would start leaving him at home more, it will curb this, just short times even if you kennel him and just go outside and then come back in like 10 mins if he is quiet, and then try longer periods by himself. I find this quite annoying, we have to take all of them everywhere with us just to have peace of mind that they are not out terrorizing the neighborhood.

LOL. I understand. Magnum is perfectly fine if I (The feeder of peanut butter sandwiches, the buyer of kibble, the giver of weekly baths, they player of flirt pole, the walker of dogs, the teacher of sign language and the treat buyer and food cooker and etc.) is MIA but goes apeshit if Ruger isn't home. Sigh....

They dont do it if i leave but then again i make them mind their p's and q's, the other human lets them run around and do what they want lol the dogs probably think "Good the bitch is gone" lol

I should have known Steve was going to be a handfull, when i got him off the plane and home and noticed he had no toenails, they were so wore down, you could barely see the nubs. Breeder had the pups in a cement floor kennel, so im assuming he did alot of moving or pacing around, he was a hand full, now hes a huge pain in my butt belive it or not hes like driving a fine sports car, he on his own is very nice to walk, very light on the leash, very minimal correction, he even came with a built in heel, i never had to teach him that, i said heel he drop back behind my knee, i was amazed but be to hard with the corrections and he will start to shut you out, like the lights are on but nobody is home look lol.

I have a female like that too Mounainfila. Very strong nerved, super smart and obiedient, but if I am too hard or loud with her she will stop and stand there motionless until I make amends with her. She is such a bitch but can play the victim when she wants.
