Dogs - November 2006

The new puppy is a soft coat Wheaten Terrier. She has a lot of energy and my Scottie has not been patient at all. When I tried to separate them today during a fight, the puppy bit me on the arm (no broken skin). I'm just trying to nip this in the bud

We just adopted a 9 months old lab mix from a rescue group. She has been in foster care for a few weeks and was "house trained" there. She has been in our house 3 days and is doing well in all respects except pooping in the house. She has pooped on the floor (in the same spot) every time she has had to go. We take her outside whenever she indicates and she has not urinated in the house. She just did it now after a long walk. I tell her no and then clean it up (with her in a different room). Any ideas?? (I am really against crate training).

I am in the process of adopting a retired racer and will probably be getting him sometime in the next couple of weeks. I own "Retired Racing Greyhounds for Dummies" and have also done a lot of additional reading online...

...however, nothing beats personal experience! So, if you currently own or have owned a retired racing hound (or even just a sighthound of any type), what is the one thing you wish you had known before they arrived in your home?

Thanks!

I have a 14-year-old German shepherd mix and she is beginning to have problems with her back legs. She isn't overweight and other than her legs is in good health. Since September l3, I have been giving her Glucosamine and Chondroitin that I got at the pet store, but she seems the same. Does anyone have any suggestions?

She is a 2 year old boxer. I don't think its allergies because she only sneezes when she sees my daugther and other times that she is excited like when my husband comes home from work. What is this?

My dog doesn't have fleas anymore (just residue in the fur but you can brush that out) and we treated her with Heartguard Plus and along with my cat. Now my house is overun with fleas! There's fleas everywhere! I have bites ALL over my body and it's getting the point where I'm scared to go to sleep. We've used the spray around the beds, thourghly vaccummed the carpets, rugs and furniture. Tomarrow we are thinking about buying a flea bomb but before we do is there any other ways of getting rid of them. Also when it comes to flea bites are they really bad? Please tell me some backround about fleas themselves too. Thank you!

My family has a three year old yellow lab. We buy him the strongest harnesses we can find. He wears his harness during the day because we are gone during the mornings and sometimes people will open and close our gate during the day when we are all gone (we share a yard with our neighbors). The problem is, he keeps chewing his harnesses off. We have bought the strongest kind we can find and we can't tell him no when we catch him chewing his harness because he does it when no one is around. Help?

While he has the typical Yorkie coloring, he stands 13 inches tall, and people are always remarking on what a lovely little schnouser I have. And if they don't complement the schnouser, they complement me on my unusual scotty.

When she barks, she's already in attack mode. So I want to stop her from the moment she starts growling. Wondering if those anti-bark collars would do that.
