it just makes me wonder why most deadly attacks done by dogs are by pitbulls? a toddler in our place got killed by their own dog. what's wrong with them? loving & feeding them doesnt seem to work at all.

i see a lot of advice on training your dog to go outside but it's almost like it's for people who don't really have to leave home for work.

so i'm curious how some people do it. does your dog just hold it for the time you're gone for work ? does it have a doggy door if you live in a house?

i've always used wee wee pads (they're great and really do work, just takes time and effort) since i lived in an apartment and do have to work during the day but curious as to if dogs really hold it for 8 hours or more until their owners come home. i mean i can't imagine making my dog hold it for that long and think that holding it is bad for their bladders, just like humans. And if we don't need to use the bathroom at a certain time, we just can't "go".

When our son left for college, we were left to care for his Fox Terrier. That has been 4 years ago. The dog is 9 years old. We recently moved to the lake from a large farm and he must now be confined to a small pen all day and tethered at other times. On the occasions when he is not penned or tethered, he runs away, jumps on people walking down the road, etc. He won't mind, he won't look at us directly..even after boarding him for a week while we were on vacation, he didn't seem to care that I picked him up from the vet, he just wanted to be let outside...it could have been anyone coming to get him. He isn't agressive toward us but he doesn't seem bonded or affectionate - but there is something demanding about his presence. My husband wants to find him another home. I feel too guilty. The dog is hyper and troublesome and neither of us wants to be the first one home or his caretaker. What can I do?

We had to unexpectedly go out of town last week due to an illness in my family. My sister-in-law volunteered to house sit and stay with our two dogs while we we gone. She ended up getting mad at her b/f and then decided after we had left that she didn't feel like staying at our house and taking care of our dogs...all because she was mad at someone else. Well, we found someone to come over and let them out and play with them for a little while each night but one of our dogs is 10 minths old and still has accidents if she's not let out a few times during the day. She is a 100 pound Saint Bernard and her messes are big! Then our male 3 year old Shih-Tzu would go over and pee on top of where she went at. When we got home it smelled so bad in here. It's terrible! I can't afford to have the carpets cleaned right now and she also wet on three of my children's beds.
Are there any products out that REALLY work on pet stains and take away the oder so that they don't go in the same spot again?

okay people if a guy on tv known as Cesar M a dog whisperer corrects his dogs, people are going to correct there dogs, I correct my dogs and they learned not to do what they did again, one correction equals less times they will do it again and they still all love me, I grab them by there scruffs and shake them and say no firmly like the dog whisperer and they still love me, so why shouldnt I correct my dogs, I see no emotional or aggressive behavior coming out of it and they still act the same way and everything and do what I ask quicker and know I am alpha over them, the only person my dogs dont listen to is my husband because he doesnt correct them, so tell me what will I gain out of not correcting my dogs if they are still the same? because it cant be cruel if they have a guy on national tv correcting dogs and showing you how and the results from it, because if it was I am sure he would have been arrested by now.

I have taken the dogs to other vets and the vets say they have no problem with big dogs. When I show up they are surprised how big they are and scared of them. So it's hard for me to relax my dogs. I need to know someone who is comfortable working around them and knows what they are doing. Any suggestions?

We'd like to find a small to medium size family dog (three kids age 6,8,10). My wife is slightly allergic to dog's, so we'd like one that would have little or no affect on her.

Can you recommend a dog for us?

What can I spray on hard surdaces like tiles and ceramic to discourage dog sraying. My dog marks his territory in 3 places very often and I tried spraying the deterient that we use for carpet but it doesn't work on hard surfaces. Also what is good for cleaning it up so it will smell better.

I have the shaggiest, hairiest, stinkiest Golden Retriever. Love him, but his hair is EVERYWHERE and I cannot keep it under control. I'd like to get him clipped/shaved, but I am wondering if doing so would hurt him, like sending him out into the cold without a coat on. He is mostly an inside dog (his choice), only going outside to do his business. I live in Reno, Nevada, USA, and it can get down to 15-20 degrees or so. Any other reasonable suggestions other than shaving him?

I love Basset Hounds, and have often considered owning one. However, I've heard from many sources that they have a distinctive "hound odor." I love dogs and can deal with the occasional smelliness and messes, but I'm not sure I want to live with a constant odor. Can anyone give me some insight into this? Thanks :)

I've taken my dog to doggy parks but he just barks and has even jumped up at other dogs. I'm so afraid he's going to bite some ones dog. He'll sniff a dog and be quiet for a two seconds then all of a sudden he'll get aggresive again. It would be really nice if he can play nice with other dogs with out me having to be scared of him biting them. Is it okay to put a muzzle on him until he's use to the other dogs? He's a springer spaniel.

My cousin took his dog to get spayed not knowing that she had given birth. While there is only one puppy, the mother is at the vet and I have a dog that is nursing seven of her own and is letting my cousins puppy nurse. The problem comes when the real mom gets home. Is she going to be able to nurse this puppy after being spayed?

My husband gave me a Toy Poodle when we were dating, were married now and everytime that we get into arguments he threatens me of hurting the dog. Why does he do that? My dog whose name is Stewie I love him I treat him like my baby and my husband doesn't like that sometimes. I like to sing to my dog I like to talk to him like a baby and my husband hates that. My dog runs away when ever he sees him but when my husband calls him he just goes up to him but with his tail between his legs. Other times when my husband pick him up he'll just pee all over the place. Other times when I get home from work I see the dog tighed up outside and I hate that because my dog has white fur and he gets dirty very easily and sometimes when I pick him up he has flees on him. I take care of him I feed him and I play with him. Am I over doing with the dog or is my husband just being mean?

Why is everyone posting questions about Gang and Torbay??? It seems a lot of you are paying a lot of attention to them, yet complaining about what they say.
