My son has just bought an 8wk old french mastiff pup. He is gorgeous, but I know how big he will grow. We had an English Mastiff before and although she was great with the family she would bite anyone else which made it very difficult to look after her, I don't want the same problems again - so any tips please.

I have a 8 month old male dog by the name of Buddy. My husband and I are at witts end with Buddy because despite the constant training, he still is dumber than a rock and continues to disobey us and do things like dig in trash, chew and pee everywhere. We have tried everything we could think of from crate training, chewtoys, love, shouting no and rubbing his nose in it; to teaching him tricks with very savory rewards. We have had Buddy for almost 5 months now and we have tried (and at the time thought he was sucessful) to tech him sit, rollover, lay down, shake, speak, etc. and he will get the trick we are teaching him at the time and forget all the others. We also once thought that we sucessfuly potty trained him bu feeding him 2 times a day and taking him outside constantly, but now were noticing that there are countless little wet spots all over our carpets and discovered that he pees a little here and there everywhere letting the carpet soak it up. What can I do to train this dog??

To those experienced protection trainers amongst us, do you find the choke/prong collars really necessary for awesomely-driven protection dogs like Belgian Mals and Rottweilers, or has anyone been very successful with a verbal/bond/praise approach for "out" or correction for these dogs? If so, how do you do it?

I just find them so adorable and nice to just be with.

What do you think made them this way?

I dont see another animal really being this way with us.

I didn't think they had a soft palate but I'm happy to be corrected.

my great dane was at my dads for like a month while i moved back down here, and i brought him home because he was looking pretty skinny and depressed about four days ago. well today he was covered in ringworm looking things all over his stomach especially, and some on his legs. some of them are pretty big and others are kinda small. he has like over 35, but yesterday he didnt have a single one. the circles are smooth and not bumpy so i dont know if they are ringworms or not but they look like them a lot. does anyone know what else they could be, and how they could spread and grow that fast?

I feel so bad that i yelled at my dog for doing something when i didnt see! now i cant stop crying and its 2:44 in the morning here and i feel so bad! im the only one down in the basement who cares for the dog cause she cant go upstairs(cause of grandma's demon animal!), and now i dont even want her down here cause would if i yell at her again!? Thats why i want her upstaires but since rosie is such a stupid animal, Freak cant go up! we only take her up to go potty outside, or when grandma goes to bed so roseis with her. even though i know im a good pet owner, i still feel so bad like i shouldnt even have pets! i dont even think watching a Smosh video on youtube is gonna make me feel better!

I have a new small xbreed rescue dog. He is totally nuts but friendly likes people and other dogs, gets on well with my labrador . He comes back when called off lead but once on lead he whines and screeches like he was injured at the volume of a jet aircraft!!! (this is not popular with my neighbours). At 8 months i don't think he was ever lead trained. Can anyone suggest a way to stop him?

WE have a beloved family dog - she is a lhasa - apsa (spelling - please forgive mine).
Our dog is now eighteen years old.
She is in VERY good health - the vet says that she will be with us for maybe another 2 years,
THE ONLT PROBLEM IS THAT SHE HAS 'ACCIDENTS' !!! -
both # 1 & # 2
Does Anybody have any ideas about the # 2 type accidents ???
Old humans wear diappers
But what do people do for dogs AND PLEASE do not suggest putting her 'DOWN'
- she is a member of our family.
Any helpful ideas would be appreciated
Thanking you all in advance !!!

My brother and i got home and we went into the basement where we have to keep our dog Freak because grandma's dog is demon!

well, i discovered she got in the trash in the bathroom. it was from the bathroom all the way into the living room!

i picked her up, carried her over there, and rubbed her nose in it, yelled that she is a bad dog, and hit her once.

my brother then starts babying her!
he picks her up, makes her look at the mess she made, talks in babytalk to tell her not to do that again!

after i yell at her i always waite a couple minits, then be nice to her cause it always freaks her out when i punish her.

I got a puppy for my birthday on July 26th. She had recently been spayed and up to date on vacs. I took her to the vet for her checkup the next day. Vet checked out her stiches and said, "Looks good." Ok no big deal. Its been like almost 3 weeks, and tonight all of a sudden we noticed a red blister over where the scar is. I am freaking OUT! I don't think I can get her into the vet until friday! Has anyone else expirienced this? And is there any doggy remedies for infection that I can give her? I am so scared that its going to get worse!

I just got an English Bulldog pup and am trying to fill out his AKC stuff and am not sure what "piebald" is. I've looked for pictures and can't find any that specifically points out all the colorings and markings of the dogs. Anyone know of a good website with pictures and labels?

The Truth about Pit Bulls
Don’t believe everything you have heard!
. There are an estimated 4.8 million registered American Pit Bull Terriers that have been selectively bred for
companionship and conformation dog shows. This number does not include the unregistered APBT’s,
which would add significantly to the 4.8 million.
. The pit bull breeds have NEVER been bred for human aggression. These dogs, like all other dog breeds,
are not born inherently mean or bad! They can, like any other breed, become mean through lack of train-
ing, abuse, neglect and irresponsible ownership and breeding.
. Pit bulls do NOT have locking jaws; the pit bull’s jaw is identical to any other dog of a similar size.
. Did you know that pit bulls consistently rate higher in the American Temperament Society’s tests every
year than many common “family” dogs? The three breeds that make up pit bulls rate around the 83% pass-
ing whereas the Golden Retriever is in the 82%, Greyhound is in the 81%. You can view the list at
ww.atts.org.
. The United States Custom Service recruits pit bulls from Shelters to train in detection. One of their all
time top dogs was Popsicle, who was rescued from a refrigerator during a raid. Popsicle currently has the
highest money bust to date.
. One of the top-rated Search & Rescue teams in the U.S. is Kristine Crawford’s American Pit Bull Terrier,
Dakota. Kris has two other SAR pit bulls! They were hand-picked by NASA to aid in the recovery of the
astronauts from the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. They were also
involved in the Laci Peterson search and just recently saved a
woman’s life. You can learn more about Kris and her team at
www.forpitssake.org.
. President Roosevelt, Anthony Robbins, President Wilson, Fred
Astaire, General Patton, Humphrey Bogart, Helen Keller, Thomas
Edison, Bernadette Peters, Michael J. Fox, Ken Howard, Shannon
Elizabeth, Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson, what do these people have in
common? They are ALL the proud owners of pit bulls!
. There are many pit bulls who are productive members of society.
Trained to be service dogs, therapy assistants, educational dogs, nar-
cotics detection, actors, search and rescue and more. Many have be-
come public heroes saving peoples lives.
