Dogs - November 2006

I picked him up from the vets office at lunch and brought him home. He's walking very slowly and seems nervous almost as if he thinks he's going to get fussed at for something. Is he mad at me or am I just paranoid? Possibly a side effect of the anesthesia??

We have a 5 month old border collie and her ears are erect. Is there anyway we could encourage them to fold, as our older collie's do? Her ears make her look like a fox!

My hushand and I are debating over what kind of a dog to get. (I had a yorkiepom for over 16 years, that recently was put to sleep.) My husband would like a lab or a jack russell terrier, but I would like it to be a house dog - and I think the lab is too big, and the jack russell too hyper.

Any suggestions on a good "in between" compromise?

I'm going to see a puppy on Saturday and the owner has said he's getting the litter KC registered as both parents already are.
What age do the pups need to be to be registered and if I buy one can I get my name put onto the registration papers?

I recently adopted a dog from the humane society with only 3 legs, the other was deformed at birth. He is a Yellow Shepard and an absolutely fabulous dog. He gets a little bit too excited sometimes and I have a problem getting him to chill out when I am putting him on his leash, and some other minor obediance issues, such as staying when I say stay and what not. I am doing my best but I would like some pointers on how to best train him. Can anyone help? Oh yeah and he will be getting his bad leg amputated soon and I an nervous about his aftercare, as far as his temperment goes. I need some experienced advice.

My puppiy has an red swollen bubble protruding from the lower inner core of his eye. Should I be worried or will the sweling go down on it's own. He is a very healthy puppy otherwise.

I asked '' How do I get dog urine out of the carpet ? She peed in the same place several times. The answer I got was this:

She pees in that same place because of the odor. To remove the odor, mix 12 oz. hydrogen peroxide, 1-1/2 teaspons baking soda, 1 teaspoon of liquid dish detergent. Mix well and saturate the stain and let sit until it dries. Make sure you pour enough to saturate down to the padding. Do not scrub! The liquid should start fizzing and bubbling (the combination creates oxygen) and it will lift the odor and stain from all the way down to the padding! If she has been using this same spot a very long time, it might require two applications.

I did as she instructed. It worked for a week or two, but my dog peed in the same spot again. I think the urine soaked thru the carpet to the wood floor. I do believe the remedy worked. But I think she smells it because it went to the wood floor.

.How do I fix this?

Does anyone have a trick or something we can purchase somewhere that can protect our new grass from our puppy's pee? I heard that if you water the grass REALLY frequently or if you put apple juice in your dog's water it will neutralize the acid in the urine that causes the grass to die. Anyone have a tried and true suggestion to help?!

My dog is about 6 or 9 or something and I only started looking after him because he's my Nanna's but she had never even taken him for a walk once. He goes balistic when I pick up the lead he runs around jumping on everyone and he chairs. He did a backflip one time haha. But yeah I would have like to have taught him stuff like sit and roll over but the only thing he knows is his name.

I have an EBT who's nearly two, he is a nutter in the car, i also have an Akita who is nearly nine years old and he's no problem, we've taken the Akita to Cornwall in the car and he was brilliant, i can't even get to take them both down the river without the little fella going mental. I've tried a special spray from the vets, that made him worse, i've tried calming pills (I actually overdosed him by accident) that didn't work, any ideas please. Even when i get them both to the river the little one cries constantly, does that mean he doesn't like it there??

My 1 year old dog chews everything BUT his toys.. i buy him rawhide bones and bring sticks from outside but he prefers my shoes, cardboard boxes and plants... He did the same thing when he was a puppy but we thought he outgrew it because he stopped for a while. is this a behavioral thing?
