Dogs - December 2006

Our dog has seperation anxiety from it's past. Right now someone is home with her all the time except when my husband and I do something in the evenings together. She is a great dog except when we both leave her. Then she will get into food, get up on furniture, go potty on the carpet, and tear things up. She is a year old Spaniel/Border Collie mix.

I have a 6 1/2 month old mini dochshund and he is potty trained... well when we are home, he never goes potty inside. He always waits for us to take him out. But when he is home alone, he will piss and poop all over the carpet.. even if we arent gone very long. Its almost like his way of getting us back for leaving him at home. I know I can put him in his cage but I would like to get him to the point where i can trust him outside of the cage as well. I know it must not be fun to be locked in there. What can I do? I punish him but it seems to not be working...

My 5 month old Pomeranian puppy has been throwing up. She has thrown up about 6 times in the past few hours. She seems normal. She is running around like crazy, still wants to eat and is drinking water. I haven't seen her eat anything that she shouldn't eat - she stays in the house and there arent any plants or anything that would harm her. I can't figure out why she would be throwing up. There isnt anything suspicious in her vomit - just food and fluids. Any advice on what I should do? She is up to date on all her shots. She is my baby and I'm just a worry wort when it comes to her! :-)

I have a 4 mth old chipin named Doja !!!! She has the energy of a 2 yr old!!! She is chewing up everything I own!! I take her for walks and she has all kinds of toys and raw hides but still insists on chewing on everything insight!! Im wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that she is teething???? or if there is something else I could possibly do to make her stop???

I just moved and my dog has to be on a long lead (the equivalent of a 20x20 kennel) outside while the grass grows in the yard. She is a 3 year old dutch shepard lab mix and she paces and whines for up to 5 hours at a time at night! She has to stay out side...and she has shelter and blankets and toys! What can I do to stop this??!! She gets walked at least 45 min daily and gets play time in the part of the yard where the grass is not growing, fetch, find the hidden bone ect. She does not live on the leash, its temporary. And remember, dogs live outside in the wild, people....not to mention on farms and many other places...

My puppy is so small she cant play with most dog toys, so she has a few toys that are for cats and contain catnip. She loves the toys, but will it harm her?

When i first heard him cry like this, I thought it was some poor, dying animal, desperatly screaming for help, and the worst part is, ITS SO LOUD!!!!!. At night, he never lets me sleep, and my neighbors are starting to complain about the horrible noise. Please somebody help me, he's driving me crazy!!!!

I'm looking for a dog that is "nice" around small children, requires little to no grooming, and is somewhat trainable.

I have been thinking about getting a small dog and pugs have the rep for having great personalities. Where i live, they run around $400...I do not plan on breeding.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I allowed a roommate to move a dog in...I never see him take the dog for walks, never see the dog out of the room... A couple of days ago I went in to his room to turn off a heater he had left going, and discovered that the room was wall to wall dog crap, on wood floors...of course even before I saw it I could smell it the second I opend the door. I have never been so happy in my life to have a door that could contain this smell. What can I do about the floors? the roommate? is this enough to evict him? um on a side note, anyone want a yorkshire terrier?

My 15 week old Chihuahua's nails are really sharp and long and I don't feel that me clipping her nails would be safe for her since I have no knowledge of nail clipping. I'm going to wait until I take her to the vet to get them clipped but for the mean time would it be okay for me to GENTLY file her nails a bit?
