My daschund gets into the trash when I am gone sometimes. I have not caught him in the act, but he knows when he gets into the garbage he is in trouble. How can I train him to leave it be?

My neighbor has a daughter who has a big lab. I have 2 small yorkies. We have a chainlinked fence separating the yards. When the lab comes to visit he charges the chainlink fence and gets under it and in my yard. He has bitten one of my dogs before, dont know if it was playing or not. Needless to say my dogs are terrified of the dog. I am a bit scared of him myself. This has happen multiple times with not even an apology from my neighbor or daugther. Any advice??

My roommate and I just bought a new puppy. We're not for sure if he's house trained (no accidents so far but we've only had him for a couple of hours) and the woman at the pet store couldn't tell us for sure. He's also been nawing on us and pillows. We believe he's teething right now. For the house training, in case he isn't trained, what are ways we can trained him that have worked for others. And how we can we teach him not to naw on certain items. Any info would be great. Thanks.

In case anyone needs or wants to know, he's 4 months old and a terrier/brindle mix.

My dog has had at least one seizure a year since 1999. She hasn't had a seizure for 2 years. This morning she had a seizure that she was in and out of for a total of one and a half hours. During the seizure she started breathing real heavy. Then threw-up. Then she wanted outside and did not want to come in. Then her seizure got real bad. She just lay on the deck going in and out of the seizure. Then after the seizure was over, she just keeps lying around. Breathing heavy. She did eat, and kept it down. But I am still concerned. Her behavior is not like it has been when she has a seizure. She always looks for me before a seizure and I sit on the floor with her throughout, Today she wanted me and my daughter. She has always been a mama's girl. But she has never just layed about for the whole day. She has never gotten sick. Also, 2 months ago we put her buddy to sleep. He was older than she. I know she is missing him. Any advice? What do I look for?

Lately, I've been having a lot of bad dreams about my dog. I've had 5 or so nightmares of my dog dying of various causes - cancer, drowning, running away, my mom putting him down, old age.

I've had my dog for over 7 years and he's running strong. I recently left for college, but come home every weekend just to be with him. I think more about him than anything else!

Has anyone had similar experiences? (This always happens to me on vacations, going to summer camp, sleeping over at friends house, etc...)

I have a shih-tzu and when we bathe her at home, she only smells good for about 1-2 days. We take her to the groomers and she smells great for about 2 weeks. How do they do it??

My 3-year-old miniature pinscher has this little moving lumpy thing inside her lower stomach where her last nipple is on the right side, right above her genital. If you touch it, it kinda moves around in there.

We were palpating it around and after a while, it disappeared (and we keep trying to find it again but to no avail). I'm still going to take her to the vet tomorrow to ask them what it could be. She also has this tiny little lump on her leg so I should kill two birds with one stone and ask about that as well.

She hasn't been neutered yet (although I've been seriously considering it for a while now). What are the chances that this is uterine/breast cancer? Are there free-roaming tumors that like to just float around as they please?

my female dog keeps getting into my lap when i'm at the computer. Is she trying to find a nice boy dog or just trying to figure out how to use it so dogs can take over?

I had one for 16 years. (!) And I've been looking for another one for a year and a half, but it's all minis, minis, and more minis. I don't want a "show" animal, just a pet. I'm getting to the point of looking for a doxie/beagle or doxie/terrier cross, which might be easier to find than a Standard. Yeah, I've looked on the various websites, nearest place that had one was four counties away. Too far, unfortunatly. So what's with this craziness, anyway? The Standard is only 1/3rd larger than a mini!

I have recently purchased a seven month old Doberman. Thus far I have spent 24/7 with him. We exercise about two hours, go "out and about" three hours, and play about two hours every day. At any point when we have free time he only wants to sleep; is this normal?

Also, how much should a 7 month old Doberman eat? I have been told that the breed does not have problems with overeating but he eats about 6 cups of food and 4 snacks per day. Is this too much?

I have two dachsunds, one pure blood miniature and one mixed breed. This fall I'm plagued with Great Horned Owls that are considerably reducing the stray cat population. This evening I actually saw one of these BIRDS try to get my mini-doxy. We're talking HUGE BIRD. This sucker had at least a four foot wingspan. I'd actually guess closer to five feet. HUGE!

I'll be donning my bath robe and bedroom slippers when I let them out at night now, and clutching my old 16 gauge loaded with bird shot, but there must be a deterrent, eh? If I must I'll buy a regular "dog kennel" with a mesh roof.

My doggies are not part of the food chain! I live in South Central Kansas if that helps.

This is a 2 yr old rat terrier-a rescued dog who until recently has been perfectly housebroken. Why would she suddenly begin peeing on the carpet? She has ample outdoor time and is outside during the day.
