I had my dog for a couple of months, he's 2yrs. He was a present from my bf. He has the classic energetic, fun-loving, yet gentle personaility of the Golden breed. Although, he needs some training. He knows his name ("Hydro") yet when I call him sometimes he comes and sometimes he dosen't. It's really annoying but I'm being patient because eventhough he's a not a puppy he's still young. I don't have money for a trainer and I enjoy training my dog but I need some good suggestions. Also, from books I read about this particular breed it told me that playing games should exercise their mind as well as body because of the inteligence they posess. What are good games I could play with him other than retriving?

The Dog Whisperer (Nat'l Geo channel) says I have to be the "pack leader" for my dog and eat first, go out the door first, etc. Do others have experience with this and does it really help?

I put him in a big metal bin yesterday, with the lid on, so he could smell his own pee and poop,and learn not to do it-how long should I leave him in there?

Ever since the snow has come and the weather has dipped below 50 my dogs have been itching like crazy... but I know they dont have fleas. I have looked them over from head to toe with a fine tooth comb and all I can find is a bit of normal dog dandruff. Could they have cold weather/dry skin itch? Ive seen dog washes with oatmeal for this use... anyone have any ideas/experience with this? They are both over 90 pounds so its not an easy task getting routine baths!!

We are taking it slow in trying to start a serious relationship. I thought it would be a good idea to get her a dog for christmas. Eros is the god of love so I thought that the name would be fitting. Am I right?

Does anyone know if dogs can have depression? My dad went away on a business trip today, and my dog has been hiding in the closet ever since he left. She won't even take treats to come out. We brought over her friend, but she just growled and snapped at her. She isn't sick. Anything we can do to make her feel better until my dad gets back on Wednesday?

We just got a new dog about 10 tens ago. The older dog, Max, keeps barking and growling at the new dog. The new dog barks and jumps like it wants to play with Max. Then Max then just runs upstairs or downstairs and hides. What should I do to help them get along?

She has a habit of coming over to us looking at us, and then burping right at us. Is there a way we can train her to go burp somewhere else. I don't mind the noise, but the smell of a dog burp is quite foul.

My 4 year old sheltie charlie almost died today, I was in the christmas perade today, and i was coming home and my charlie was at my neighbour's house, with my dad. he is usually very skitish of my dad, but when i'm gone there friends. anyways, when my mom slowed to see him, charlie ran from the door, around the house and on to the road, a suv was coming, and the roads were very slippery, there was a snow storm last night. mine and my mom's hears just stopped for like 3 seconds, the suv slid sideways and just missed him. when i got out of the car i was almost crying and i couldn't feel my legs, i gave him a huge hug and i was happy he was alive! it totaly changed my perception of him, i went outside with him for an hour and made an igloo for him. i can't stop thinking that he almost died. any ideas? thanks.

I think it's ridiculous. People spending a fortune on mixed breed mutts that they could find in a shelter instead...

Sigh...what people do in the name of money...

It's a dog. Who cares?
I don't get why anyone would want a "papered" dog anyway. What's the big deal?

My dog, a chow/lab is 5 and this year her coat is the thinnest it has ever been. She usually has a real 'flag' for a tail and it is not that way at all. She is in good health and eats good food and eats well, sees the vet. all the time so I did not understand. Live in Missouri.
