Well I've lived with dogs my whole life but they've always either been house trained or a puppy from a shelter where it was already being house trained. My boyfriend and I picked this buddy up last night from a pet store and I didn't realize how much of a bad idea it was to get a pet store puppy because they're basically trained to eliminate in their crate.

I called the store this morning because he's basically been holding it to go in the crate. I can sit for hours with him outside or at the pad at the door and he'll just hold it until I put him back in his crate. They told me to try putting the pads in his crate without the divider, but they didn't tell me when to start moving it to the door. He's 12 weeks old now so when should I start working him into the outside? Any other advice would be helpful.

I am inheriting another abandoned cockateil. Tried to registar on a site that a fellow q&a'er (em),said but the site will not let me register. The site keeps looping. I have a male, the female that is coming to my home has lost 2 of her companians, (parakeets). I will put them through the 30 day quarantine period, but if they get along I do not have time for the caring of any offspring. Should I keep them seperated for ever? If they do get along and have offspring how bad will it be to take away the eggs? If I took the eggs away will she try to lay again? I've read about binding, and do not want to cause any undue stress, but If I don't take the female more than likely the owners would just let her go! Gosh help me to do the right thing. There is another male around here I fear the owners are getting tired of. Hand raised Cockatiels are social birds not for show and tell. Anyone? Please.......

(Our Queensland heelers have knocked our socks off with their cunning, their reasoning ability, their "human" type of intelligence.) What other breeds are smart?

Hi guys! I recently got a 6 month old puppy. She is a shy puppy and is very scared of humans. i understand that it will take a long time for her to get out of that shell but what worries me is that she doesn't eat a lot and sleeps all day. She will eat maybe once a day and only about 1/3 of a bowl then. She is drinking water but she sleeps all the time! I havn't ever seen her not sleeping. She doesn't play or anything. She had a new pet visit with the vet and the fecal/heart worms both came back showing nothing. Am i just paranoid or is there something wrong with my puppy?

I guess my cat stepped in wet litter last night and it was stuck all over her back paw. It seems better today but I cannot really tell because she won't let me look at it. I'm sure it was probably worse when it was wet, but I'd like to know how to remove it wet or dry. Thanks.

I have had an allergy to cats ever since I can remember but have always been fine around dogs. My eyes swell and I itch all over my body. Despite my allergy, my boyfriend and I adopted a stray cat because we couldn't find a no-kill shelter with room for him. He is a paramedic and swears to me that I can't be allergic to just cats and not dogs. He told me the allergy does not come from hair but from dander and all animals have dander. I swear I am allergic to this cat because I constantly have to take allergy medicine or I am miserable. Can someone help me prove a point and give me some good hard medical facts that could back up my case?!

what can I do? My dog is being given away tomorrow. I might be able to visit him, I'm not sure! What if he doesn't forgive me for leaving him? I love him to much. He'll hate me! I'm depressed! He has a serious skin condition and bites little kids. Since my 3 year old cousin comes over all the time, and we have to lock him in his crate. My parents think it is best to give him away. I can't take this! What do I do? I hate feeling like this, it's horrible! I'll miss him too much. I'm trying to stay strong, its just too hard. Please help, I'm sad!!!!!

We just went to the animal shelter and they had the cutest, but fattest, beagle I've ever seen. She weighs 44 lbs! I want a dog so bad and fell in love with her. How do you help a dog lose weight?

If there is no such thing, what about a small sized turtle, that will remain small for about four years (college).

Thanks!

We have an unfinished, fieldstone basement. I have put things along the walls so he can't get to them, but he still manages sometimes. He is very insistent on getting to the wall and licking something off, maybe salt??? Anyone have any ideas, advice, knowledge, similar incidents of some sort? I already asked the vet and they don't have an answer - only to keep him from doing it, of course. Thanks!!
