Dogs - December 2006

I adopted a 4 yr old female German Sheperd the other day. She shows no aggression. Doesn't mind my 2 yr old, or the cats. I though she was just shy, but when I brought her home she stays in the corner. She doesn't wag her tail, or look for attention. She just lays there. No aggressive behavior, just sadness. Like ahe doesn't know how to play. She acts like someone just ordered her around because she is very obedient. The owner said the previous owner had her as an army dog. How do I friendly her up?

My dog has been pregnant for a while. She's starting to produce milk, and I can visibly see the puppies kicking. How much longer would she stay pregnant for? Should I start keeping an eye on her? Will it happen in less than a week?

What do you think of the BARF diet for dogs? Insane? Wonderful? Expensive? Dangerous? Risky? Post your answers here!

We have to get a new dog and researching all the breeds to find one suitable.We are in our mid 50's and need a dog that would be satisfied with 2 walks a day as well as a little play.We are home most of the day.We also need one that is less likely to jump a 4ft fence so was thinking about the Labrador. Found that JRT's will jump so was back to the drawing board. Thanx guys.

I recently sought help for Cara's hyper-activity and the unanimous answer was more activity. She and I were taking long walks before I got sick. I knew it was important, but didn't realize how adversely the lack of exercise was affecting her behavior. Since I am disabled at present, (hope to be well soon!!!) I am looking for a dog-walker who will be kind & firm. The present issue is Cara having begun to pee on the carpet in the den. She had never been indoors when I got her at 10 mo's, and there were a few accidents but she caught on quickly. She always sleeps in the bedroom with me at night and has never had an accident. A dog her size leaves a huge puddle and I've got to find a remedy before my husband discovers. He wants her to strictly be an outside dog. We have a big yard and she plays out a lot, but I bring her in for play and socializaiton. It is a continual point of contention...one on which I will not relent, but I do need a quick remedy. Wise animal-lovers - help!

Someone gave me 200 cans of Friskies and I want to feed my dogs with it since it'll save me $1000 in not buying dog food.

They aren't harmful right? They look like same ingredients just different label.

Ok I have a white highland terrier. when I go 2 school (8-3) my mother will be sleeping (9-2) so the pup will be alone (this will be his schedule on evry Mon. the other days he will be completely supervised) So should I put him in a crate where he has all his stuff and cant get out. Or should I put him in a doggy pen in which there is a small chance where he can get out, but in the pen he wil have lots of room to move around and he wil have lots of stuff in there. OK so for ex. if I get the crate he will sleep in the crate in the night time (in the same room as me) or if I get the pen he will sleep in the pen (with a min bed) in the same room as me.
Please help me, I'm considering to buy a crate but I just wanted to make sure. Oh and when I come back from school (3pm) I will take it out for the rest of te day and it willl go to sleep around 9;30.
Please help me!

I'd prefer something smaller, and something that doesn't really shed as much (short haired) and is good with people because we have a HUGE family (and a rowdy nephew) and when the family gets together so do the other small dogs

Hi, I just bought a Chihuahua yesterday. She is very attached to me. However, to others she is very agressive and would growl at others but never around me. Does anyone know how to fix this and make her more socialable around other people?

I have a 1 year old female pitbull/shepard mix. When she's in heat she is totally infatuated with my 14 year old female neighbor. She won't leave her alone and cries when she leaves my house. However when she is not in heat she growls at her and keeps her distance. Why is this?????

Could this mean she wasn't spayed completly, or is she just horny? She keeps trying to hump my dads leg. Or maybe shes just accesive compulsive?

i have a pom that was hit by a car about 6 years ago, he has to be diapered and he has a wheelchair. He has notneeded pain meds thus far, and he acts comfortable and is so very happy. A freind from my rescue group called me when he came in, they were going to put him down eventhough he was happy and not in any pain. HIs only problem is that he needs much more care than a "normal" dog....
but the older he gets the more i wonder if i am doing the right thing for him, how do i know when it is time to let him go?

I need advice about what I should do about my dog. My wife and I got our 7yr old dog 5 years ago from an animal shelter. Our dog has serious separation anxiety. Whenever we leave, she destroys our house, including urinating on our beds and scratching windows/doors to the point where her paws bleed. Whenever we are home, she wants to do nothing but sleep. We have tried many solutions including long walks, exercise in a fenced-in yard, obedience training, and even medication prescribed by a vet. Nothing has worked. In fact, she seems to get worse in age. We have had no other option than to crate her during the day. Recently, the dog has started urinating on our bed while we sleep, but we cannot crate her at night since we do during the day. My wife and I both have jobs in which we must work 10 hrs per day, and we have activities after work that keep us busy. These are commitments we cannot give up. We love her very much, but do not know what to do. Any suggestions?
