I have a dog, and he is almost one year old. He is one of the most adorable things I have seen, but he isn't the brightest. Don't get me wrong, he is a GREAT dog. He is smart too, just not when it comes to listening. Any tips on ways to get his short attention span to pay attention and listen. I know it takes time, but in this year we have constantly tried to train him to only get him to sit on command. He will come to his name when he wants to, but that is it. Does or did anyone else have this problem?

Have any of you taken this course? Is it worth the 200 bucks for the sessions? Our girl already knows how to sit, lay down, shake, roll over and she's just a super dog. However, we do want to take her to professional training in case there are good tips, advice we are missing out on. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thx!

My dog loves to roll in fox poo - I go out every morning and try to clean it all up but he still manages to find it in the undergrowth etc...is there anything I can put down to deter the fox without affecting my dog? Someone suggested vinegar??

"Dominance theory" such as it is applied to dog behavior, has been disproven for more than 20 years? Wolf "packs" are actually a familial unit, made up of the breeding pair (formerly called "alpha") and their offspring. Almost every wolf, regardless of rank, goes off to breed and form their own pack, and so becomes "alpha". These alphas also do not always lead the pack in activities or walk ahead of the pack (Mech 1999)

Domestic dogs, on the other hand, are NOT pack animals. They are social animals and when seen in the wild (village dogs that are seen around the world), form loose and fluid social groups for purposes of mating, but not packs like wolves. (Coppinger 2001)

I have two mississippi mud turtles. They are about five years old. and i have them in a large tank with just the right amount of water. One of the turtle is bigger than the other. The big one keeps messing around with the little one, and all the little one does is run frantically away from the big turtle. once the big turtle gets the little one he flips himself sideways holding on tightly until i seperate them. theyve just started to act like this last month. I want to know whats wrong with them? if you need additional details just ask.

I know the obvious breeds would be a labrador or german shepherd.

I just wondered what other similar sized dogs are good suggestions.

I don't want a dog that sheds a lot, but I do have the time for daily walks and I have a HUGE fenced back yard. A good watch dog too, I need to feel safe if I am home alone with my daughter.

Does anyone have mixed breeds such as the lab/poodle, goldendoodle?

thanks in advance for any advice from dog owners!!

, mellow, calm they are) how do you get him to stop? He was around my friends dogs last weekend (chocolate lab and big white wolf dog looking guy) and it didn't go so well. He barked nonstop for hours running around lunging at them. (He is a Pomeranian.) My aunt is bringing her lab into town this weekend. I don't want to look like I can't control my dog again. What do I do? TIA!

So I am at my aunts house and she just said that her cat has fleas and told me not to worry i won't get it. I'm really freaked out about getting them.
Can humans get fleas?
thanks

I really want a cat, but my dad says that if we get one it will scratch the furniture all the time and jump on the counters and we will regret it. I try to explain to him that having a cat reallyisn't a big deal, but he makes it seem like we would be adopting a lion or something. Could somebody tell me whether getting a cat would be a good idea or not?

I have had them for over 7 years now, so I know that summers they shed a lot, esp since we have no AC. But this summer (which has not even been that hot) they are loosing so much hair it is making me crazy.
One big problem is ever since they were kittens, they have HATED being brushed. They tollerate it for about 30 sec/day. I have tried many different brushes and towels and find I have to stick to the bristled one simply because it removed the most hair. My tabby is actually loosing so much hair that it can come out in clumps and it actually mating on her back legs and rear area. They are short hair cats. I didn't think this was possible. Giving them a bath is like suicide but I may be at that point, though I also know that I don't really want to stress them out. They are relativiely stress free indoor cats with a very good diet.
Can I get them to love the brush/comb? A magical shed less potion? Will I ever stop vacuuming every day???
