Dogs - December 2006

My dad has a one and a half year old basset hound whom he got at a shelter about 6 months ago. He has had occassional problems pooping inside, but nothing horrible. He told me this morning that Homer had wet his bed. He was laying on his blanket asleep while the family watched a movie. My dad got up to let him out after the movie finished, and he was laying in a puddle of urine.

Does he need to go to the vet? Does this sound psychological or physical?

Thanks!

I have had the puppy for a bout 2 and half weeks, she has had bad diarrhea since she went to the vets for her 1st injection she then develop the diarrhea. A week wnt past she then had her second injection, we told the vet he gave her some powder to help but has not. She is very lively and happy in her self, she is eating and drinking well. But always seems to be starving. she has lost a little weight but has put some back on. it sometimes seems to get a little better but then the next one seems to be the same as it was before.

I have a 3 yr old lab who is great. the only problem we have ever had w/ him is that he is dog aggressive. He loves cats but can't stand other dogs. Last month my brother in law moved in our guest house with his 6 yr old wiemerramer( spelling sorry). They have to share a yard and because my lab keeps trying to kill his dog we have to take them out in shifts. Is there any way we can get these two male dogs to get along or am I just eat up w/ wishful thinking?

I have a year old husky mix who is perfectly housetrained. I just introduced a 4 month old corgi puppy to her, and they got along fairly well. The problem is that the corgi puppy isn't housetrained. I don't mind cleaning up her mistakes in the house, but the husky has started smelling her mistakes and then defecating or urinating right next to them! Is this normal and is there any way I can prevent this?
Thanks!

Are dachshunds females(girls) more affectionate than males(boys)? Is there any difference in gender. I'm planning on getting a male, however, I've heard sometimes that females make better dogs, they're sweeter. Is this true?

Do 3 month old chihuahuas adjust easily when they go to new homes? How long of an adjustment period is there? What can they take with them from their old home to their new one, that might help them feel less stressed or upset? Serious Answers Only Please!

My dog was lying in the garage and I heard growling. When he hears, smells, or sees something that puts him on alert he stands at attention just like he should (hes a rottie). But when I check on him hes just lying there. It sounds a lot like how when Lions make that grunting roar to establish their territory to other dogs. But they just lie there. My dog does the same thing, but dogs establish territory by howling and scent marking. I don't understand.

Okay...punish is the first word I thought of..but I really want to know what the best way to deal with it. When my dog jets out of the house he thinks it is a game so he keeps running. The problem is that he has a dark coat and he ran last night clear up the neighborhood (and boy is he fast).

How to I train my dog to understand that it is extremely dangerous for him to run away and not come when called?

I'd like a small dog who doesn't really shed, doesn't need a lot of grooming, is playful, friendly, affectionate, and intelligent. I was thinking about a beagle, chihuahua, pom, shitz tzu, and yorkie.

I had been letting him go outside without a leash and he would stay in the yard, but he wandered outside of his limits, so now I take him out on a leash. The problem is...he wants to play and barks at me to go outside every 15 minutes and once outside he just sniffs and chews grass and is now having accidents in the house. This is driving me nuts! I feed him in the morning and at night and take him out about 15 mins after he eats and drinks. He bites and growls at me until I take him out, then he just plays. Help! Oh, he is a shiht-zu mix and approx. 10 months old.

My younger dog (year old) has just started tearing the house apart. She never did this before while my older dog was alive and now she is going crazy. I don't know if she is just lonely or maybe she lost the authority figure in the house. I have never had to crate her before. Is it too late to start now?

I just adopted a beautiful lab/terrier mix from the humane society. She came in as a lost dog, so they do not have any specific history on her. They estimate that she is about 4 months old. I have named her Hippo :-)
I adopted her with my girlfriend and at the shelter she seemed quite ok around other people. As soon as we brought her into PetSmart, she began to get a little edgy. She barked and pulled her leash when another dog walked by and she would hide behind my legs, or my girlfriend's, when a person approached. Last night introducing her to my brother, she first barked and growled at him when he walked in the room and then when he tried to pet her, she snapped at him. As soon as he left, she ran back and sat at my feet and looked up at me. Hippo doesn't quite know to come when called, and is just learning 'good,' and I was wondering what I can do to help her be more comfortable around people. Another thing is, she will NOT leave my side. Where I go, she goes. Help!

Just holding his paws gently, he yelps like you are trying to kill him and runs away. I've been trying to work with him everyday, just rubbing his paws, not holding them, but he still runs away. What can we do? He's a mix, and about 1 year old, 40 pounds. We don't know anything about his past.

Does anyone know of a good breeder that has puppies at the moment. We're happy to pay but can't afford the £550+ mark that most seem to charge.

We'll be good parents as we used to foster for the local animal welfare place.

We want a puppy as we have cats that would be a bit freaked straight off by a full grown dog but have been fine with the mother in law's yorkie.
