Dutch Shepherd Forum

She is actually laying next to me! She is laying on her back with her feet up in the air squeaking a squeaky that she stole from my Terra lol! Man I just love them. The energy is amazing and I wouldn't change her for the world. I tried to sneak a little blue one into the back of my jeep the other night while my husband was working on drug detection with another dog heehee! I thought I was being really good at sneaking her in the cage with Raven when I heard......."Don't even think about it" he hadn't even turned around WTH does he have eyes in the back of his bald head! I don't think I should be limited in the amount of dutches I have.....LMAO

haha, I know how you feel, I found my off switch with ball(s). Took forever to get my dog to actually get tennis balls.. until one day I bought a kong ball and it bounced so high in the air he took off after it. Now it seems I can't throw them long enough but it's the stimulation he needs to be ok at night

Right now, Sadies off switch is broken. The weather is cooler and as soon as I let them in after breakfast its crazy mad running through the house. The ears dont seem to be working either, there is major sensory malfunctions. Usually me saying "COUCHE!!!" stops them dead in their tracks, so far, nothing. Just some hair flying and these strypy things zooming past.

I am picturing this and it is funny!! I am having the same thing here - except I don't say "couche" "enough" usually works, but not lately!!

usually a HEEEEY works too but for some reason....... the ears are broken

Oh agree I think Raven's ears are broken too! I told her PLOTZ and she jumps up onto my bed and lays down......then I'm yelling HEEY!

WE FOUND IT! Right at the 10 mnth mark and we have found it! woohoo! It's more of a pause button than a real off switch but we'll take it LOL!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pause is good!

It's PLATZ not PLOTZ. You confused the poor dog

Oh no wonder she keeps cocking her head to the side LOL!

"Hey" along with a snap of the fingers is used in my household as well. And as far as the 'crazy' installed, well, Zip has an overdose. Even at 7 years old, if left outside in the yard to her own device, she is the energizer bunny who has lifetime batteries. She will pace and pace and pace. Now we are talking about a half acre yard. Did I say, Zip would pace?! Not very funny though because she will not stop, ever, so she definitely does not have the genetic intolerance for exercise. Therefore, I have to keep her crated or in her bedroom just keep weight on her. Thank goodness Gris, the DS/GSDx, has an off switch!

LOL! Poor yard probably has pace marks in it! Raven gallops around the yard chasing EVERYTHING! Her latest thing is rolling my westie as she runs over her......usually on rainy muddy days.....I don't have to tell you all about how white fur and mud don't mix.....

rolling the Westie !

Yeah well the westie doesn't find it funny at all LMAO!!!!

HAHAHA poor westie, the girls do that to each other too, run into each other and while one is rolling the other is running right over her.

LOL! Probably wouldn't be so bad if the WESTIE didn't turn around and look at ME afterwards like "WELL? You gonna do something about this or what?" LOL! Poor Terra

oh ya, the puppy dog eyes!!

Yeah she has them down to a tee and now Raven is doing it only it's funny because she's so damn big compared to Terra lol!
