Adorable!!
It's funny when people post photos and 75% of the photos are of a sleeping Bullie. It at first made me wonder why i never see mine like that? Then it came to me one day, all those shots are taken when they are sleeping, truly one of the easiest times to catch their cuteness. The rest of the time they are causing trouble and being a typical EBT pup. No one wants to show the bad side of their little angel. But I just love these pictures. I'm Digging the name since I am a Bill. With that name, she will go far.
Bill Murphy
Lol if I even attempt to catch moscow sleeping this is along the lines of what I get
Hi Bill, thank you! I hope she does McKenzie is so cute, I love her profile picture! I have to take 10 pictures to get ONE good pic of Billie bc she's always moving , haha. Here's a similar pic, except I whistled to get her attention
Oh my goodness lovely_jdw, Moscow is adorable!!!! He's very alert!!
I was putting stuff away and whistled Billie over and this is what she walks over with, haha. I had to take pictures 😍
She makes me smile and laugh everyday! Don't get me wrong, she gets in trouble everyday too!
HaH. Are we going to the store? Target of all places.
McKenzie doesn't even look when she is in the Sassy position, she is too busy trying to cool off in front of the AC vent.
LMAO, Moscow looks like a pistol.
Right?! Out of the bags, the Target bag, lol. She cracks me up!!
Billie has the only child syndrome, everything is hers, lol. She got a new chew bone and she's hoarding it all to herself 😂❤ I need to teach her how to share!! I love this girl to pieces 😍🥰
She's still such a baby....when I take her on walks, she whines and wants me to carry her! Still working on walking manners. Any advice is much appreciated 😊
This may sound a little dumb. But only reward her when she is doing what is acceptable. Remember that even negative feedback from you is positive to her. Only walk when she is not pulling, if she pulls, you stop. When she lets up on the leash, reward and move along. This is a fool proof method to get her to not pull. Use this same method in many ways to yield good results. When she shows aggression or excited behavior toward other dogs or kids, stop and go the another direction. Reward when she has settled down. Always reward when you get what you are looking for. She has to understand that you are in charge. Most Bullies think they are the rule makers. You make the rules and they must follow. Otherwise, they will do whatever they want, whenever they want. I am no expert, but I know what works for mine. They are hard headed and need to be socialized regularly if you plan on them getting along with other dogs. Go to trails and highly populated areas to condition her to accept other dogs, people and children. Use the methods above and follow through. Be consistent and in charge. Maybe even go as far as getting her a harness that says "In Training" to let others know you are doing just that. Hope this helps.
Hi Bill,
Thank you for your advice! It's as though you already know what she does on our walks! She pulls, gets overly excited, whines and whimpers, or just stops and refuses to move. I will definitely take your advice on stopping, going the opposite direction when she is overly excited. She's 5 months and 10 days old today and she is so darn strong! I literally have to dig my heels in when she starts pulling on the leash. I immediately give her the sit and stay command so many times during our walks. And yes, she is sooooo stubborn, it's as though I met my match, haha. Thank you again
Billie's swim session 🏊♂️
Yours has the swimming down to a science. Mine pretty much just likes to watch. Runs in the rain and loves a good shower with her Mom. But never anything above her knees.
As always, good luck and even better patience. PEACE
Looking back from when I first got her, she has come a long way, so that always gives me hope. Sometimes I get so frustrated with her bc she is so incredibly stubborn, so thank you for your encouraging words
I'm STILL working on walking manners with her, lol

I read your post on pinch collars to help both of us on our walks. She is doing really well with her "walking manners" I also took your advice from another post you wrote on health and nutrition and got her Nuvet and Grizzly's salmon oil to help with her allergies and overall well being. Her allergies are so bad, but im apprehensive on putting her on any kind of medications. Ive done some research on allergy medications for dogs and the side effects are awful. So hopefully the salmon oil along with Nuvet with help her
Thank you EVERYONE for all your posts! I have learned so much from this forum
