I have a 8 week old puppy and also a 6 year old dog. We have been trying to crate train the puppy to sleep in the crate at night. Our older dog loves her "home". We thought of putting both crates next to eachother, in hope the puppy would not feel left alone. However, she will only sleep when I'm in the room with her. If I decide to let her sleep in the bed with us until she is a little older, will I be creating a larger problem? Will my older dog be jealous? Both crates are in a separate bedroom from ours. Would it help to move the crates into our bedroom at night? I can only get about 3 hours of sleep at a time right now based upon the puppies schedule. I understand having to let her outside to go potty, the problem isn't that. The problem is the hour it takes to get her to calm down in the crate, only to be awoke by her cries when she discovers I have left the room. Any suggestions? Or any recommendations on good literature for crate training? This is our first time having to do it.

hey um i bought a 13 week old jack russell, he was like any puppy just needed some traning and tought stuff like not to pee in the house stuff like that. When he bit my 6 year old brother i would hit him multiple times because when i hit him just once he kept doing it. so when i started to him more like multiple times, he is becoming visouse but now I tried something. no hitting and i gave him so treats and love.... and he stopped biting and grouly at me. could he be stopping because i showed him love? < thats my question

Ok, I understand this is, mostly, personal preferance, but I would like input none the less. I know there are some very knowledgable people perusing this section. = )

Phenotypically, I prefer: Northern breeds(Malamute, Sibes), GSD(Same reason as the northern breeds, the "wolfish" look), Great Danes, and Rat and Smooth Fox Terriers.

My lifestyle is highly adaptable. I'm 20, and I'm getting ready to move out. I have adequate space RIGHT NOW for any of those breeds, however I intend to move North soon, as I have always perfered colder climates. I enjoy space and plan to own a decent amount of land.

I am willing and capable of giving any breed all the walks they can possibly tolerate, and all the affection and company they happen to desire.

I have read and understand a general, novice amount about the breeds I have mentioned, however don't hesitate to provide ANY information or suggestions, or breeds I may have overlooked. Any discussion that leads to a happy me and dog = good

I bought a pair of gerbils about 2 years ago. I now have 3 fish tanks full of them. I have to flush baby gerbils down the bog at least once a week. The pet shops say they don't want them and my cat is bored of eating them! What can I do?

Hi.. Can anyone give me some techniques on how to toilet train a baby rabbit? I've read that some have asked the same question and there were great answers, but still am curious if all rabbits can be toilet-trained or some breeds just can't?

She is 18 months and a little timid... she keeps either hiding from me, or jumping at me with the occasional 2 hour cuddle thrown in! Very confusing... I am sure she is confused too.
Also, how do I settle her more during the night so I can sleep better? She is not too noisy but she does claw at everything and I hear her move around jumping about.
Any help much appreciated! Thanks.
