Thanks! Dan and Kimmi, Thanks for the advice! I haven't dealt with this behavior before and its nice to hear from people that have. I'm taking Powder down to a professional trainer tomorrow to see what he thinks the best way is to train her. She's the most loving and gentle dog in the...

Hey guys, I just ran across this site and I thought I'd say hi to you all. I live in Fremont, CA (its in the San Francisco bay area) where I work doing computer stuff. I adopted a boxer mixed puppy, which I named 'Tuko', from a local animal shelter about a year or so ago. I named him from...
