Ok- my shnauzer has this bad habbit of growling while he plays with other dogs. How can I discipline him for the growling without him thinking I'm disciplining him for playing?

Why does my dog consistently roll around on his back and make strange noises? Simply because it feels good or something else? He just started doing it a lot more often recently. He has a clean checkup at the vet, is bathed once a month or so.

I recently adopted a one year old dog from a pound. He is a very loving boy and wouldn't harm a fly. My problem with him is that he has a submissive urination problem. Whenever he thinks he is in trouble (even when he doesn't do anything) he cowers down and pees. I don't allow him on my bed anymore because he pees on it everytime we come in the room and find him up there. I've never banned him from the bed before because our other dog gets up there.
I don't know what happened to him with his last owner, but I would guess by his behavior that it was not a pleasant experience.
If anyone knows what I can do to help him with his problem, without putting him on meds, I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!!

she started throwing up last night and today is the same. its not like vomit its more like white flym. she goes out of the dog door all the time so I dont know if she got into something out there. there is a fern like weed that sometimes grows along my fence and my neighbors dog (only 4 years old) died about a week ago from kidney failure. I dont know if that is the plant that is causing this illness but I have seen her eat it from time to time. If the spitting doesnt stop I will take her to the vet on saturday but have any of you had this kind of problem before? what should I do for her in the mean time?

My golden retriever has what I think are called Hot Spots. Anyone ever treated their dog for this and what did you use? I bought Burrows Solution and applied it. Anyone used that? How long until it clears up?

Mine is 8 and is getting quite bossy. Jumps on me, barks, and won't respond to "Here". I wonder if older dogs get difficult or my training is becoming slack. Any answers from people with older dogs are welcome, thanks.

I was told you shouldnt give a dog a name that starts with a "S" as it confuses them. The sound is too close to "sit', "stay", "stop", etc. I know there are lots of dogs with "S" names, but has anyone experienced that problem?
