Sgt. James Adolfson "chats" with his military police dog J.R., who is undergoing noise training at Fort Huachuca. The training will help desensitize the dog to loud noises when they deploy to the Middle East. (Ed Honda-Herald/Review)

Dogs associate events pretty well.
Anka probably associates loud noises such as gunfire with her concussion.
My dog associates gunfire with being allowed to run out and pick up a duck or a bumper. You can fire a shotgun right over her head, and all she'll do is prick up her ears and start looking for the duck.
If the ducks shot back, I'm sure her reaction would be a little different!

Military dogs are indeed a 'grunt's' best friend.
The ONLY reason that they can train for combat is that they love us.

Your right. My dog, Schatzi, associates seeing a open door or gate as a way to run around the neighborhood and drive me crazy. But I love her!

She usually gets NylaBones and rawhide rolls. She goes through a pig's ear too fast (those Lab jaws!)

My dog loves the pig ears. She is chowing as we speak :)

How cute! Mine are sacked out in their crate and on the sofa respectively (we just got back from a walk in the rain!)
The puppy is actually walking on leash really well now (she graduates from her first obedience class on Monday night!)

My dog is a pain to walk with. She is half pit bull and half collie. She herds me while we walk. Nearly knocks me over when I take her running.

My dog, Schatzi My late grandma had a (less than purebred) dachshund named 'Schatzi'. It brings tears of fond rembembrance to hear that name again.

Pinch collar?
I never used one with my big dog, but my obedience trainer suggested one with my high octane puppy.
It's like power steering (and power brakes). She is now a perfect lady on the leash!

I don't know. Collies are bred to herd. So it is instinctive for her.
I don't think she will be a running mate too much longer. She can't keep up any more.
I may retire that role and keep her for the brisk walks. Then adopt a greyhound or something.

It's Yiddish (or German) for sweetheart. Literally means "precious one" or "treasure".

Oh that is cute. I'll have to find a site with audio annunciations to hear how it is pronounced.
