Dogs - November 2006

I have a lab we guess is 1 year and a half to 2 years old and when we rescued him over 6 months ago he was housebroked. We haven't had any problems with him, except for the last 2 days he's peed in his kennel while we are away at work. He was in the kennel for about 5 hours, which is very normal for him. He also chewed some of the plastic bottom of the kennel too. Does the peeing have to do with the distruction? We already guessed he has seperation problems, so we think this might just be associated with that. Any other ideas? Anything we can do to prevent this from happening again?

I have 2, 7 month old puppies. They are crate trained. I was just curious to see at what age other people let their dogs run free in the house while they are away at work. My dogs use to chew up a lot of stuff, but the past month or 2 they have gotten a lot better. Sometimes I'll be working in the yard or in the garage for a few hours and leave them alone in the house. I check on them from time to time, but they are usually just sleeping on the couch. I'm going to try to go on short trips and leave them alone, progressively staying out for longer periods of time.

About 1 yr ago, my poodle started having accidents in the house. Her urine had some blood in it. I took her to the vet and he said that she had urinary crystals. He told me to give her more water and ha gave some pills for her. The pills didn't help, but after a while the problem seemed to go away.

A couple days ago my dog started having accidents in the house again. She's three yrs old! Today she is urinating blood. What is wrong with her? It must not be urinary crystals because she has plenty of water.

My 2 dogs LOVE, I repeat, LOVE, to chew on their rawhide bones. They are both 7months old. One is a husky one is a boxer. Never had any problems until recently. My husky has thrown up a few times, and I see there is a piece of rawhide in her throwup. I did some searching and people say they can cause intestinal blockage. I always thought they could easily digest them.

So I'm wondering, what is a SAFE alternative to rawhides? My husky pretty much tears up and eats any kind of bone we give her, weather its a rubber or rawhide bone. I've taken away the rubber ones.

I hear of people giving beef bones from the butcher. Sounds good, but wont that be messy? I'm looking for something that WONT stain the carpet and will be OK for my dogs to digest. Something that will keep them busy for a while, not just take 2 bites and its gone.

I am thinking about holding training for kids and their family dogs, teaching the children how to train and work with their dog. We would cover things like basic commands such as sit, and fun tricks and games too. Is this something you would enroll you child in?

If so, how long should each class be?
How many weeks should the classes run?
How much should the classes cost?
What would be your concerns?
Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

I certainly don't. What's wrong with people.?? These stories about animal cruelty disgust me beyond words. The punishment these ppl receive does NOT fit the crime. The man that put his wife's lil' puppy in an oven causing permanet damage to its' lil paws got 6 months ....that's it. this after attacking the dog with a leaf blower and causing the dog's eye to be removed .....I just can't stand it, we need to really make the punishments for these sick mean cruel crimes a lot stronger

Second. my dog at home has gotten fleas, I have recently been taking him to a new park where a lot of dog walkers hang out. What is the safest and easiest way to get rid of them?
Thanks

My chihuahua used to be housebroken and went outside to go to the washroom, but now it's getting too cold out for her liking. I've been trying puppy pads for the past few weeks, and she refuses to go anywhere near them, in fact, she'll go on anything except for the pads! Everytime she has an accident I try to soak it up onto the mat and I take her there right away. Any ideas, or alternatives (Ive heard of doggie litter)? I'm at my wits end - Help!
