Dogs - January 2007

How much to they usually cost?
How long do they run *as in, how many classes are involved over what time period*?
What goes on in them?
Is it really all for the dog, or more to train the owner?

We've had two dogs previous to our most recent puppy. The first was a black lab puppy that we had so long ago I can't remember. She didn't last all that long, my parents had two young kids *me an mah bro* and just didn't have the time or energy to take care of her, and it was before they knew about training classes. The second we still have, got him from a shelter about five or six years ago. He's never had any training that we know of, but then again I guess someone had to have taught him to sit on command and never go through the door first when on a leash. Heck, I don't even know how old the puppy should be.

We have a small *think, rat dog* papillon, 2 1/2mo at the moment. Any advice/guidance as to when I should start her in classes? She's already getting nippy, teething I guess.

Hi, I would like to know how trustworthy those 2 websites are. I wonder if they are legit. Do they follow through on sending what the customers purchase?

Is this common, or could it be something else? Along with the vomiting, she has been shaking and her breathing is different. Please help!

We were in the process of getting her fixed (had an appointment made) when her and another dog got stuck together. Since then 2 or 3 weeks ago, I have noticed that her nipples have become large. Please help.

Everyone please answer!!!

I miss my dog's sweet, loveable, and quirky personality. I promise you, sometimes I forget that she is a dog. She has her own facial expressions (although dogs really don't have facial expressions), but somehow she does. We know exactly what each other is thinking. That's what I miss most, how we understand each other, and she thinks I'm her mommy. I miss her because I'm away at college. I LOVE YOU OREO COOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My puppy is 2 months old and my family eats ice cream sometimes. When he begs, it's hard to say no. So we just want to know if it's ok if you do, because we haven't gave him any yet, but he can jump up and get it if we don't watch!

My parents are trying to put my dog to sleep because he bit one person. They can't renew their homeowners insurance because of the dog. Now im 21 and live in another city but same state, and i want the dog. i don't know why my parents dont want me to take the dog, im old enough, i have a dog of my own and they both get along great. I think my parents just want the dog dead because of his size. My mom has always talked about "Oh in 10 more years that dog will be dead" Im thinking about just taking the dog in the middle of the night. I have a key to the house, so its not like im breaking/entering. I really think they wont be doing this if he was the size of a freaking chichuahua. My dog is a black lab/great dane mix and he is 5 years old I dont know what to do. My parents just called me and suggested that i come home and see him one last time! IM RUNNING OUT OF TIME! Please help, i really dont want to put him to sleep

My husband and I just got a beautiful AKC registered purebred st bernard. Within minutes we fell in love with this big lug. We have seen lots of pictures of st bernards with kegs of whiskey around their neck. We don't drink, and we don't want her to wear it, but we would like one of those kind of as a souvenire. We have truly found our favorite dog breed and really badly want one. Do you know where we could get the keg that they put around the st bernard's neck?

Honestly. The government controls everything else, why don't they control who can and can't own a dog? Maybe if they at least controlled who can own an intact dog, the dog population would be smaller. So many dogs get abused and so many get abandoned. And so many idiots get ahold of intact dogs, then breed them! I have a friend who somehow got ahold of a pit bull puppy that was 6 weeks old, underweight, and wormy! The dad of this dog was a 3 legged fighter! I hope I can find that person so I can bust them.

I have two male dogs, one a year and a half old and the other is one year old. Both are fixed. They are constantly humping each other. How do I get them to stop? I don't think it is a dominance issue - neither of them really show any other dominance related behavior. Both were fixed at an early age. Is this just a phase?

He is a bit constipated, but still poops about once a day. I just have not seen him hike his leg for 2 days. He is drinking water - not massive quantities, but some. He is not acting weird or anything. I was just wondering as I am new to owning a small dog.

Two brothers have been found guilty of animal cruelty for allowing their pet dog's weight to exceed more than 11 stone. Derek and David Benton were convicted of causing unnecessary suffering to their dog Rusty by overfeeding. The pair, aged 62 and 53 respectively, from Fordham, Cambridgeshire, allowed the dog's weight to rise from eight to more than 11-and-a-half-stone in two years. RSPCA inspectors say the Bentons failed to give Rusty an appropriate diet and allowed the dog to become "hugely and grossly" overweight. The brothers said the dog is overweight because it has arthritis and cannot exercise easily.

Their lawyer, Ann-Marie Gregory, told magistrates in Ely, Cambridgeshire: "They are not specialist dog trainers. They are not specialist Labrador trainers. They are common or garden dog owners." The RSPCA had spent more than £3,000 trying to reduce the dog's weight in recent months. She added: "How many people have £3,000 in their pocket to spend on their pet dog?". Miss Gregory said there was no evidence that the dog had been "stuffed" with treats or overfed. She said the Bentons fed him a small bowl of dog food in the mornings and the evenings and gave him a bone as a treat on a Saturday.

Prosecutor Stephen Climie refuted her suggestions that the prosecution was a "test case". "This is not a test case," he said. "This is a case peculiar to its facts." The brothers denied any offence. RSPCA inspectors took the dog from the brothers in March and since then it has lost three-and-a-half stones under the guidance of vets.

That's pretty good they can do this for a dog - next step, parents who feed their kids so much that they become grossly overweight. Imagine a dog having better protection against this type of abuse than children?

I live in an apartment, and am looking for a dog. I'm not quite sure what kind to get? I'm looking for something small-medium.

Also is it better to get a dog from the pound or get one from say Pets Mart?

Hello. I just adopted a 3 year old purebred standard Dachshund female from a free classified ads website. I adopted her on January 11th, 2007. I do want to breed her and have a purebred Dachshund male as well. I thought that my male Dachshund, Monty, would show some interest in Ashley right away. However, when he first seen her he looked at her like she's an intruder and barked. Monty's an outdoor dog and she's an indoor dog by the way. She took off running back toward the screen door and would not go near him.

We get along great. As a matter of fact, I get along better with Ashley than with Monty. She's always by my side and always is bouncing off the walls with happiness when I walk in through the front door.

I'm not sure why Monty is not showing any interest in her. I thought because she's female he'd want to mate with her right away. Or is it only when she's in heat? Or is it possible that if she's already pregnant that that's why he's not interested in her?

Our dog Buddy is constantly jumping on our sliding glass door to get inside. He does perfect to get outside, he just rings a bell with his nose, but he is over 1 and he won't stop, and he just taught our new puppy how to. He's a good dog, it's just he needs to learn how to be civilized :-P
