How can you tell if your dog is enjoying the whole dog park experience?

BKHB asked:


My dog is a little bit fearful and excitable. When we visit the dog park, she seems to have some fun (plays and runs with some dogs), but she also seems a little bit nervous and unsure around other dogs. She always shakes it off (like when she’s wet) after we exit the gates to leave. Should I keep taking her and hope she overcomes her shyness, or am I doing more harm than good?

How can I develop a grooming routine for my Sheltie puppies?

Anca asked:


I have equipment and information about how to groom an adult Sheltie. However, there is a big leap from grooming a full-size adult dog that is used to the routine and grooming a small, squirmy puppy whose coat is still growing in.

I’ve been trying to groom a little bit every day, just so they get used to it, but I’m not making much progress. I haven’t tried using treats yet, but that’s my next step.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, but especially those that apply to puppies with this coat type. Thanks.

Readygo asked:


Im looking to buy a really cool dog for my first dog. Something that is sort of medium in size that can be very loyal and playful. I have a golden retriever and i love it so maybe something a little bit smaller. Jack russel terriers are also really cool, so maybe something a little bigger. So in between those two is my range, and those are the biggest and smallest sizes of dogs i will go buy.
