Dogs - August 2006

I take him to the beach often(he loves it), give him ice water constantly, give him ice cubes. He's a 11month old Springer spaniel.

Most people have a problem with their dog walking them, I am having the opposite problem! My 5 month old female boxer does not like to go for walks, and it's not because of the leash. She does her business and wants to go right back into the house or lay down. She pulls backwards and puts on the breaks when you try to move. She plays this game for about 30 minutes and finally she starts getting a little better. When she knows we are turning around to go home she walks perfectly fine on my left side. I have tried driving different places so she doesn't think we are leaving home, I have even tried a choke chain and a harness, I've tried being the leader and tapping her butt or making a noise with a tug. I know she is a puppy but this behavior has been consistant for 10 weeks now and everything else she is improving with. She only moves to other people or dogs, she loves them...but then she is pulling forward. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have an 8 year old dog. He has always been the sweetest most loving dog. We now have a 1 year old son. My dog hates him. Every time they are even in the same room, he snarles and barks at him. My dog loves other kids (as he always has). My nephews cam over recently (1 is the same age as my son) and my dog played with them like he was the nicest thing. I can't figure out what to do. I don't let the baby pull on him or hurt him in any way, but I want for them to at least get along. Please help as I don't know what to do! Can the vet help? Can he be trained for something like this? Aghh!!!!!!

Just curious as some of the anti-mutt people sound like Klan members or Nazis... Yeah we need breeders to keep the lines going but mutts deserve love just as much as any pure-bred!!!

our trainer has given us some great tips and ideas, however, i was wondering what worked for you???

we have a baby doll that cries and we use "leave it" and "gentle" commands with the dog around the doll.
i also have plans for a friend to bring her baby over so my dog can get used to a baby smell, even dirty diapers, and used to seeing the baby as a part of me, like when i hold the baby.

so, any other tips??

thanks!

p.s. our dog is a chocolate lab...he'll be about 8 months old when the baby is born.

We do not have air conditioning because we are not allowed in our apartment and it never gets this hott anyways! But its hott today. I left the shades down a BIG BOWL of water and ice and there are two fans and two ceiling fans on..but I am still so worried about them. Do you think they will be ok?

She is a mutt, and we just got her from a shelter on Sunday. I know she may be a combo of a million different breeds, but I'm just curious what everyone thinks she resembles. She is so wonderful and happy to have a home!!

I would like a small puppy that stays small, and isnt so yippee. I live in an apartment by myself and would like one, that I can try to train to pee in kitty litter box, when I'm at school (I'm a college student---however before you go on a rant, I only have class tuesdays and thursdays.) I want to train it to not bark as often by wearing those magnetic (not electronically shock) collars. What is the best puppy for me?

My Dachshund puppy is terrified of my stairs. I have to carry her up and down many times a day. I've tried sitting on a step to get her to come up one by one and tried pulling her with a leash up, nothing works. She's scared stiff and cries whenever I try to get her to go up. She can go down if I leave her in the center of the staircase, but not from the top. Is she physically unable to go up because of her long frame? Any tips to help her with this?

My fiance' (Pam) has a 5 year-old male Cocker Spaniel that will pee in the house. He has been house-broken but Pam thinks he picked up the bad habit when she took him to her mother's, who has a Cocker that pees indoors with impunity. This morning he left an ocean of urine just below my office chair, and he does it in the kitchen where he's kept during the day, even though he has access to a doggie door. He's been to obedience training and nothing seems to work. They say we need to catch him in the act but he knows he's not supposed to do it so that's not likely. I moved in with Pam a few months ago but he's been doing this before I moved in. I'm open to any ideas. Thank you.

I really want to get a dog and have done for ages, at first my parents said no but now they are saying that they will review the situation on the 23rd of september. My mum is much more sceptical and says that i should be wishing that we won the lottery instead as it costs so much to keep one and that are house is too small. Does anyone know how much it would cost to keep a dog each month and wether a three bedroom house, small garden with two cats is big enough to keep a small dog? Thanx!
