Dixie ★ Golden Retriever

I'm starting work on a trick video of Dixie! =D They're not really special tricks, mostly basic commands and obedience, but I'm hoping to include a few like "Smile" and "Do the Dishes" in the vid. And also some of her first steps in training alerting me to the sound of an alarm clock.

Here's the first vid. Nothing special. Mainly the basics. I'm putting the other video together. c:

*Note: Please excuse the mess. XP I filmed this BEFORE cleaning up and doing dishes. Haha, bad idea.

On another note, I'll have two more videos of our public walks uploaded later today! And a video of some 'leave it' training.

edit; Here are the videos from our walk!

I've created a Golden Retriever club. viewtopic.php?f=39&t=2122083

Dixie has been a real goof this morning. XP So hyperrrrrr. With this rain and mud she hasn't had any heavy exercise for two days. Just her public walks.

Dixie's puppy days <3 I can't believe how fast she grew!
When she was a pup, she had a little white spot on top of her head. <3
She lost it when she blew her coat the first time.

<--- she looks mad XD
<---lol so lanky <3

<--- A few months after her first birthday <3

Dixie attacked Stitch this morning. (He's fine but very shaken up and has just about lost a back tooth.) :c There were no toys/chews/etc lying around, and no food or water either. I was brushing her while she was lying on her side and Stitch came in the room. He didn't look at her or anything - was just walking past us. She didn't give me much warning this time either. :c She's always gotten along well with Stitch. And she was fine earlier - even played with Murdoch awhile.
I don't want to give up on her, and she's even shown some improvement, but...She's now being confined to one room 24/7. That's not fair to a big active dog like Dixie. I keep thinking she would be happier and it'd be best all around if she found a good one-dog home, but I don't want to lose her. Or maybe I'm just being selfish. I know she's happier as an only dog. She's so stressed and tense here.

After that ordeal I took her out to help us both loosen up. It helped us a lot. <3Thanks, Saracirce <3
