They are really my families puppies, so i cant get rid of them. they whine and bark. when i scratch them to make them shut up, they either gnaw my hands and wrists, or they lick me. They jump on me. and they lick mt face. I cant train them out of any of this, because the rest of my family lets them. I've been trying to make them stay off me for months, but i cant do it. I'm really going to go ballistic, its to the point where i want to scream and shove them away. I shove them gently off me, but its really hard not to shove them with some good force behind it, because they jump back up. Every time i put them outside they want back in, and then they want out. It takes a lot of concious effort not to act violently towards them. Is there ANY way to stop them?

is it true that if a female dog gets spayed it lives 5 extra years because our doctor told us that our dog would live for 5 extra years if it got spayed.Just so you all know petsmart is the vet.

I put in an underground fence which keeps him out of the flower beds. I bought a remote shock training collar and he will not dig in the grass as long as we are in sight. But as soon as we turn our back on him and are out of line of sight he is back to digging again. We correct him with the training collar when we see him digging but the dog is smart enough to know that when we can't see him he can do what ever he wants to do even with the training collar on.

We make sure he gets lots of exercise and plenty of attention but nothing works as far as digging up the grass goes. Some folks have suggested neutering him but I don't want to neuter a Regristered male Border Collie.

About the only solution left is put in a kennel and keep him penned up or get rid of an otherwise wonderful companion.

Any ideas or references will be greatly appreciated.

Humans eat dozens of different animal and fish species. Why people get so emotional over eating dogs? I had dog when I was visitng China and it was so delicious. Too bad it can't be found in the U.S.

I really like both these breeds and cant decide on one, so i was just wondering if it would be a really bad idea to get both, or if i would work just fine.

Brand new greyhound owner for 2 hours now, and my cute girl is going to town on her stuffies. I've never had a dog before, and I've done reading on greyhounds and asked lots of questions-but this is one I hadn't thought about! Do they shake their heads back and forth with a stuffie in their mouth (looks like she's trying to rip it to shreds!) because they are having fun, or is it because she's upset? I know she's nervous (she's got dandruff, but I was told that would subside as she gets used to me and her new home) I'm afraid the pink pig toy won't make it through the night! :) I guess I just don't know if she's chewing all over it to tear it up or to find the squeaker.
Thanks,
Nervous new owner.

Our dog is about 9 yrs old. She has been an outside dog but because of her age we are wanting to bring her inside. The problem: ALLERGIES. Is there something out there (that someone has tried and it has worked) that helps control excess shedding and pet dander? Looking for advice before heading to the store.

We would like to find a toy-size dog (around 9-15 pounds) for our family of seven. We have children from ages 2 1/2 to 14. The youngest children are 2 1/2 and then 6 and I haven't seen them be rough with any animals. The six year old falls in love with every animal she sees. Family members are home most of the time so the dog would not typically be left alone except for weekend errands.

Here is what we are looking for:

**Toy size or very close to it.**

**Doesn’t shed or minimal shedding but is not hairless.**

**Hypoallergenic.**

**No doggy odor.**

**Good with children.**

**Doesn’t require frequent professional grooming (prefer less often every 6 weeks).**

**Easy to housebreak and train.**

Yes, that's a tall order but I'm hoping there is a 'perfect' pet for us. I have done a lot of looking online and seem to only find conflicting information. I would be very thankful for any 'wise' recommendations you care to share.

Thanks,
Donna

On average how much would it cost to get an adult yorkie bathed and get it's hair cut? Information about a show cut and a puppy cut would be useful.

He is constantly picking fights with my cat, and he always bullies my older 12 year old chocolate lab. (Pushing him around, barking, biting etc ) another big problem is that he has a few toys around(ropes, chew toys and such) he ALWAYS wants to play and he'll bark if you don't. He has an ear piercing bark. He sometimes snaps at you if you don't play. It's becoming unbearable the way he always is bothersome. I guess this is to be expected from a puppy, but there has to be something i can do, Please Help.

We don't leave him home alone very often. He's small enough to fit through the slats inour fence, but big enough that it's not fair to leave him inside while we're gone. We can't afford to put up a new fence, but this has got to stop. Is there something I can spray on the fence to make him stay away from it, or is there something else I can do beside installing a new fence?
