The choke collar makes my dogs eyes pop out of her head (literally). She's a corgi and I'm having a hell of a time teaching her heel! So I thought either a halter or harness would be easier to use when doing heel lessons. Any heel command tips are also appreciated!

My parents have a 1 1/2 year old yellow lab. Recently, she has been acting very weird. Sometimes, she will not come into the kitchen and whine and cry because we are in there. Her back paws will not leave the living room carpet leading into the kitchen. Could it be her eyesight or ghosts? We do believe there is a ghost in our house...my mother has actually felt someone poke her before and no one was there. My mom has tried once telling the ghost to go back in the basement and to leave the dog alone, and then the dog did come into the kitchen, but this hasn't worked recently. Any ideas?

How old does a Bengal have to be to start spraying? Takarra will be 4 months on Nov. 26th. I'm getting her spayed, but it's going to be next month when my husband is done with his truck driving training and I can afford it without having to go broke. She's an indoor cat and all my others are fixed, so I'm not worried about pregnancy. (she can't get out at all she'd have to make it past my door and 2 other doors downstairs to get out.)

Anyways, I'm concerned because sometimes she won't use the litter box. I have 3 cats and 3 litterboxes, including a kitten litterbox that my adult cats won't use at all, but for some reason if she's mad at me or I don't feed her the very second she demands food, then she'ss squat and pee. She's even tried doing it on my bed. If the litterbox has just been changed, she has no problem with using it, but once it's been scooped a few times, she's right back to peeing on the floor. think she may be tying to spray. yes female cats do spray!

He is a really great dog. He is current on his shots, neutered and 1 1/2 years old. He is a black lab x. He is very cute, friendly and good with people and kids. He would never hurt a fly. We just found out that my baby is allergic to him so we can't have him in the house anymore. He loves to be outside, but where we live he has to be tied up. He weights 130 lbs and he needs his room to run. He has been a great dog for us and we are really sad to see him go, but I can't watch him everyday on that chain, only getting to come off when we walk him. Now that it is getting colder outside I really want to find him a go home. He has a nice dog house that my husband buildt for him and we will give him free to a good home. Please email me if you are interested in him his name is Onyx. Thank you. My email is kaiser2befreed@yahoo.com

Why will cat's ignore the twenty dollar toys you buy them, but spend all day playing with a string tied to a stick?

I have a wolfdog and a german shepherd, and they both are getting shiny new collars with new tags and several new squeaky toys (absolutely a huge hit with my boys). The cats will get new pink and purple collars with ribbons (the cute girl look).

What are you planning on getting for your pets this year?

My lab is 5 months old and I would say 4 times out of 10 he will not retrieve a thrown toy. Is this because he is too young or is it because they have to be trained to retrieve? I thought being a labrador it was in his genes to retrieve anything that moved!

My German Shepherd Mix, Spooky, (she is about 2 years old) She lives at my uncles house, I visit her all the time, but I cannot get her to stay at my uncles. She has lived with my uncle for about 1 year now. Before that she lived with one of my neighbors. She is just now starting to wander all over town, the only way I can think of to keep her home is to chain her up, but i can't do that ALL of the time. I also can't lock her in a kennel all day and all night. So is there any way to teach her to stay home?

Please don't post if your going to post rude remarks!


Thanks!

I recently got a long haired kitten, he is about 8-9 weeks old. I have noticed that when he uses the litter box he often messes on the long hair on his legs and needs his bottom cleaned often. I would like to know if you have had the same problem and if you think I can expect him to out grow this problem or is it something that I'll need to learn to live with?

Also, how often should I brush him (as he gets older)? Right now his hair is like fluff and I have to brush him a couple times a day to prevent tangles.

I've always had short haired cats before. So any advise for long haired cats is welcome. Thanks :-D
