Dogs - December 2006

Three months ago I adopted a Jack Russell Terrier mix and he is about 4 years old. For some reason he doesn't associate being outside with pooping! He never pees in the house, infact, he'll hold it and ask to go outside to do this!
He's responded very well to all the other tricks I've taught him, I just can't get him to eliminate outside. I've tried crate training, taking him out every half an hour, giving him all the praise & treats in the world on the few times when he goes outside. If I catch him going inside, I instantly pick him up and take him outside.
I do try to watch him every second, but he's able to leave my sight, poop, and return without my even knowing he left.
I don't know if he just doesn't like going outside, if he doesn't like going on a leash, or just doesn't get the association. He has a sister who is completly potty trained. Please Help!

And, please, no ignorant "rub his nose in it" or other stupid borderline abusive answers.

She at times ignores them,then at times kind of dashes toward them when I have her on a lead. It's been 1 week they have been whatching each other.

Our son was at the table he dropped a cookie and the puppy, who was standing by the chair, claimed the cookie as his. Our 3 year old went to get the cookie and the dog bit him. He had to have a stitch on the eyelid and their was some contact with the eyeball not no permnant damage was done. The dog has become food aggressive and we are not sure if we should even consider keeping this puppy. We have 2 other children in the home and are worried that they could be bitten also. We wanted a family pet, and right now we DO NOT trust this dog.

My dog is one and a half years old. She is an American Staffordshire Terrier. This will be her first litter. I have never had a pregnant dog before and am unsure of what to expect.

We have a black male from black dam & sire, and a brindle female from a brindle dam & fawn sire. What would the pups look like if we were to breed them together?

We took my Lhasa Apso puppy to the groomer, and they accidentally shaved her muzzle. I would like to know how long it will take until the fur around her nose grows back.

they always get loose and crap on my lawn, I can never catch them should I use a slingshot and hit them in the *** with a small rock to get my point across? Smack the neighbor in the head for not keeping them on her own property?Can't call the dog warden he is of no use because he has to be there to witness it himself before doing anything so he is useless.

They're sick. The dog is a special animal for which an exception should be made. Shoot those b*******.

I have a 7 month old great dane and he is a very picky eater, I also bought his sister and she will eat everything as fast as posible.
I noticed if I feed him by himself with my hand he will eat but not out of a bowl, He always lets his sister eat first then he eats.
