I agree with the use of baby gates. Only allow the puppy to be in the same room as your child if an adult is there with them to supervise. If you...
I've only had one dog I needed to do that with. The rest happily gobbled down the pill with a bit of peanut butter, liverwurst, cheese, etc, or I...
Welcome. And good on you for giving her a good life. I have owned mixes that contain a bit of shih tzu (my Tornado-dog has a bit in him), but a...
He has an akita because he's got the "I am a loser and need a macho dog because I have nothing between my legs" syndrome. Fortunately, akitas don't...
You need to separate your relationship with him from his relationship with others. It's not a competition. My Moose-dog absolutely adored his Aunt...
No, he will not "grow" out of it. You will need to teach him to not jump on people and to not be afraid of such things. You do not indicate where...
My Moose-dog had a tumor on his lower eyelid starting around age 10-11. The vet and I decided to watch it and see if it grew any more or bothered...
I love how dna twists things. I fostered a lovely all black lab with basset legs. Everything about her was lab except for those stubby wrinkly fat...
Some things about mixed breeds: 1. Outside of "designer dogs", most mixes have at least three breeds in them. Often more. 2. Not every breed in the...
If you haven't done so, teach him to sit on command. When he does, praise him and give him a treat or favorite toy. Get him to sit when he wants...
Moose-dog was very sensitive - to touch and emotions. I've had dogs who didn't enjoy it that much, but he really hated it. Cat-dog isn't fond of...
I guess mine wasn't what you wanted to hear.
I've never had a reason to use it. My dogs have always been healthy and have responded well to traditional medical treatments when needed, so...
My Moose-dog used to leave the house as soon as he felt the brush. That was it, he was out of there. Unfortunately, he had the shepherd undercoat....
Check out the kikopup loose leash walking on youtube. Non-aversive methods that work.
So do shepherds, but I've always been able to manage the shed fur. With Tornado-dog, I have to wash all my throw blankets each week because they are...
Oh, I remember that shedding. I don't envy you. The good thing is that it comes out in clumps so it was easier to deal with - I didn't have it...
First, don't think of it as "being part of the pack". Your wife (nor you) isn't going to be seen by the dog as pack or alpha, etc. Instead, think...
You don't need to buy anything special really. A game of hide and seek can be you hiding behind a door and having him find you. Or playing with one...
