We just moved into a brand new house and there is pretty much no grass growing yet. We have red clay here, and every time I let my dog out he tracks it in all over the brand new carpet. I spend several minutes each time he comes in trying to clean his feet with an old towel, but he still leaves faint paw prints on the carpet almost every time. I'm 6 months pregnant so scrubbing the carpet on my hands and knees several times a day is getting old fast. Any ideas?

I had my brother take my dog to the vet today (i work over an hour away from the vet) to get her yearly shots and to "troubleshoot" some issues I've seen come up. She is urinating more frequently and doesn't seem to be able to hold it as well as she used to when i was at work. She is also pooping more inside, where she used to be able to hold that at leaest till she went out. And she is pooping a slight bit more now. When I walk her she immediately pees, walks another minute, pees again, etc. Like she always has to pee. AND she appears very weak at some points, I also think she has arthritis in her legs.

She is getting tested now to see what may be the issue(s).

Any suggestions?

My daughter got her a puppy last March (part lab and shepherd). Where I live there are leash laws. Because we haven't got a fenced in yard, we have made her a house dog. In the mornings, we put her out on a chain to do her business, then before we leave the house we bring her back inside. We walk her in the evening. So for the most part she stays inside.
Back in August or September, she went into heat.
Now, behind my house over the next block lives the dog catcher. But a few houses down from him is another family with another dog that is ALWAYS running free around the town. We had chased the dog off many times. But somehow...
In November, my daughters puppy, that wasn't even a year old, had 8 puppies. Between 4 kids and 10 dogs, I am at my wits end.
I have been trying to give them away but no one wants them.
I have since had the dog fixed to avoid any future liters.
Is it wrong for me to make the owners of the "free roaming" dog to take at least half the litter?

I have a Bichon Frise and they are notoriously difficult to potty train. He's almost finished with his puppy shots and since he continues to go in the house, EVERYWHERE HE CAN, even though I'm "crate training" him, I want to try taking him outside everytime instead of to his "spot" indoors because it just seems not to be working. After his shots are complete, I'd like to begin trying to take him outside. Do you have any ideas on what I can do to help him learn where the correct "spot" is??? I give him plenty of praise when he goes inside where he's supposed to but then about 30 minutes later, he's peeing somewhere else in the house again.

My husband thinks I should give him a good slap with a newspaper everytime he has an accident, but I find that rather cruel. Plus, he's only going to be 16 weeks old, he's just a baby (smile).

. . . . . . SOMEONE HELP - PLEASE!!!!

I have an older dog who has known health problems. He is on medication for coughing and another to help coat his stomach. I know the pills should be helping, and he is scheduled for another vet appointment soon, but right now he is coughing a lot. He hasn't eaten much because he's coughing too much to be able to swallow, I'm guessing. Any suggestions as to what I can do in the meantime to help calm his cough so maybe he can eat something?

He knows how to use his pee pad, and goes there often. Also, I can never seem to catch him in the act. How do I break him of this?

I have a 3 mos old half retriever half poodle I am interested in training to hunt with me. I know people who hunt with this breed well. But do you know any way I can determine if my pup has bird hunting potential, if he would take to it? He retrieves a ball now consistently but I don't want to wast time training him unless he will in fact hunt well once trained. thanks.

I have a friend who is basically a puppy mill. She breeds and breeds her dogs without care for their welfare and I want to find a legal way to shut her down. She doesn't make enough in a year to claim on taxes so I know she doesn't claim (makes around $7,000 per year). Her home isn't clean but I've seen worse be let go on Animal Cops. She's outside of the city limits (way out in the middle of nowhere with no electricity) so I don't think her having 16 dogs will make a difference. She breeds some of the worst quality dogs I've seen because she breeds anyone to whoever is in season. She never lets puppy buyers come to her place, always meets them in town "because the roads are so bad". Can anyone think of a way to shut her down? I live in North Idaho. I have several other people who want her shut down but they don't know what to do either. Please help.

While reading some responses to other questions, I've noticed a lot of people seem to think that young children are too young to have a dog. Why is this??? I had my dog before my son was born and I just can't imagine it any other way. They are THE best of friends and seeing the smile on my 2 year old son's face when he and our 3 year old pug are playing together or cuddling is the most precious thing in the world to me. I would never leave my son alone w/ "any" dog, regardless. As young as my son is, he is learning responsibility. He absorbs everything at this age so he knows how and why to feed our dog, let him outside to potty, etc. I know toddlers can be rough with dogs but I think those who are never exposed, and taught otherwise, are worse off than those with dogs. If you think young children shouldn't have dogs, please give me your reasons. I'm not trying to be narrow-minded, I'm anything but that, I just don't get it and want to know your views and opinions.

My 6 year-old Beagle had to travel by airplane, I bought her a very nice kennel to make sure she was comfortable, we followed all the vet's instructions to make sure she was OK. She did well the first time, it was a 10-hr flight. Then on our way back, she arrived in very bad condition, her eyes were bloated, she couldn't stop vomiting and eliminating her waste (full of blood) and was very nervous. I couldn't believe my eyes when I took her out of the kennel at the airport. The veterinarian examined her and told me that for her symptoms it seems that the cabin where she traveled wasn't well pressurized and she was lucky to make it alive. Thank God she is fine again. I have to travel again, with her, I have the return ticket with the same airline, and I am afraid to put her in a high risk situation. I want to take legal action towards the airline and I don't want to travel anymore with this airline (supposedly one of the best that exist now). How can I do? I need HELP from a Lawyer!

Ok so my dog Kemo is a beautiful Malamute/ Akita cross. There are many strange things that he does but this one tops the cake! When he is eating he stares at his food. He will stand there for about 5 minutes just looking at it, then he slowly moves in for a bite. He brings the first couple mouthfuls to the carpet, drops them and then eats it off the carpet, then he will start to eat out of the bowl normaly.Does anyones else's dog do this?
