Karen,

Logan is sure a beauty. I loved the pictures. You know it is
difficult to look back & remember all the behaviors of a dog as
they were growing up.Seems so long ago, but Buddy did have
a thing for running at me while I tried to work in the back yard.
Also tried to play nip to get me to chase him & play.
I had to resort to putting him on a time out chain once in awhile
just so I wouldn't have to watch my back for a full force charge.
He loved to chase a tennis ball & could actually catch it mid air
off a bounce from the garage wall.I would play this game with
him as long as my arm held out & he gradually accepted that as
a "people" game instead of the rougher stuff.I hope Sue and
others can offer other alternative "games" for you & Logan.
Hope your therapy goes well & your're feeling better soon. Hugs
and kisses to that sweet & beautiful love bug Logan.
This pic reminds me a lot of Buddy.

I was wondering if LoganII would maybe like Agility. That is a really fun sport.

Shiloh just LOVES chasing her ball around the yard and also her frisbee. She wears me out!

She is so adorable!

Oh Logan ( II ) is gorgeoous! I hope you feel better soon.

Wow! What a great response..thanks bundles, Angie, for your help and all of you for enjoying the website that BF, aka, John, did for me....he loves taking K9L's photo! Ah Ha! I think I have her number,,,, this evening after dinner, we all went to the back yard, I put her on the long lead and she ran and played with her squeaky toy and tennis ball and sniffed and had a blast..(this is after her walk and run in the school yard). I very carefully struggled up our slope to the patio and she came at my ankles, heels and legs. What a fun time SHE had, playing around, but it didn't feel great to me. I thought of the easiest thing..I had forgotten, as Cody just thought "ho hum a can of coins" but she jumped back 10 feet!! So, I think I found a solution, despite carrying it around! One shake, a "no bites" did the trick. By the end of the night, all I had to do is touch the can and she was as good as gold! I'll say one thing, she is the most affectionate dog I've ever met. She actually tries to hug me and rests her head on my lap or under my arm! I'm just relieved I loved Cody in HIS own way and that she is so different. Therapy is OUT. Too late according to the trainer..but that's ok, she's socializing well, I take her everywhere...except, if she's IN the car, she barks her head off at everyone... Thanks you (secret BF) Phred for posting the website........

Ahhhhh, the dreaded "coins in a can" trick!! Glad you found something to work. Soon just a correction will work. She is such a smart doggie!!! Sounds like you had tons of fun!

Take a soda can and put some coins in it and tape up the top.
When the dog does something you want them to stop doing immediately, shake the can. The noise of the coins in the can usually startles them (depending on the dog) and they will stop the undesired action. Sometime you can throw the can in their direction (do not hit them with it!). LOL Many dogs are bothered by the loud noises in the can and others (like mine) couldn't care less.

WOW - I think I am going to try that one!!!!

What a good idea. I KNOW Ruby will stop with noise, ....... not Captain tho ...... he has NO EARS!!!
