Dogs - December 2006

They are both between 5-9 pounds or so and the chocolate bars are those thin cadbury milk chocolate bars that are 100 calories. They also have little mints in it. They got into the christmas presents and ate about 2 of them. How much chocolate will hurt a pomeranian dog, I want to know if they will be ok. P.S. all the vets are closed and I live in a small town so thats not an option at the moment

I have a 6 month old pomeranian. He is house trained to do his business on a "puppy-pad" which is kept in my bathroom. He is very good at going to the bathroom on the pad, but ONLY when he is confined to my bedroom & bathroom (I block the door with a baby-gate). I have tried everything-- gradually moving the pad to the door, bringing the puppy-pad outside for him to go out there, etc.-- but he rarely does his business outside. He'll hold it until we come back inside & then go on the pad. Also, if he is NOT confined to the bedroom & bathroom where the pad is (i.e. if he's allowed to roam the house under supervision) he just goes to the bathroom wherever he pleases, without an attempt to return to the pad. I'm getting worried because he's getting older... what should I do to solve this problem & get him to go outside? I would like to eventually be able to let him loose in the hous while I'm home (he is crated when I'm out) without worrying about him having an accident.

As a rule of thumb, I do not feed my dogs foods containing ingredients I will not eat myself. If it's not good enough to be on my plate, it sure isn't good enough to be in my dogs' bowls.

Please share your knowledge, experience, and links with your fellow dog owners regarding why animal/meat by-products, corn, and other filler ingredients are bad news for dogs. Give them the tools to choose a healthier food for their furry friends :)

I have a 2month old lhasa apso and im trying to potty train him..

sometimes i succes at it but not always.. for example

when i see him sniffing and stuff i quickly pcik him up [is that bad
that i do that?]

and take him outside.. he sniffs and eats the leaves..[how do i stop that]

after a while he poops.. thats all then i dont know wether to leave him there a bit longer till he does both of them.. so he just sits there eating stuff so i take him inside..

couple minutes later he pees in the carpet i clean it up and everything but he still does it inside nothing else just pees..i think i take him at the wrong times because i get scared that he might do

How can i solve this

I have a boxer mix, he'll be three in Feb. Everytime he comes back in from outside he charges back in the house like he's still outside. Then when he gets on his mat he still plays around and does not listen to any of our commands. While outside playing he does not listen to our commands.
We have very fragile things in our home and he has run into them several times. How do we get our excited dog to know to calm down while in the house and listen to our commands while still excited? Thanks

I am just curious to how many people have curious dog and how curious they are? I guess it's a poll.

My dog is super curious and she's so curious that I have to watch her all the time and know where she's @ most of the time. When someone puts down something on a table she stands on her hind legs to try to sniff it and possibly pull it off the table or if the object is higer she'll jump. I don't know if min pins are curious breeds or it's just her nature, but hey sometimes @ 6 months it's good to be curious about the world. Happy Holidays

I have 2 dogs. My oldest dog is a male and he doesnt listen to me. Well sometimes. I dont have the money to take him to a training class, nor do I live near a place that offers pet training classes.

Can someone please help me. I would like to better understand my dog and learn to be a more dominate owner so he will listen to me. Please help. I appreciate your answers.

Everytime I try to bond with him, my youngest dog has to come in and interupt. What should I do about that?

I just dont know what else to do. I appreciate your help.

My sister-in-law sets a chair for her hound to sit and join us for dinner. How rude! I've left the table but, haven't said anything. Others don't like it but, stay and eat.
