I have 2 yorkies. One I got in November, she is 1.5yrs. I have papers down for them at night time and when I am not at home. The first one always uses them without a problem. The 2nd one uses them occasionally but if we are at home will ask to go out. Now the problem is that she waits until night time to poo which she does on the mat inside the patio door. I also have couch just inside the door and unfortunately she has peed there a few times.
Any ideas how I can stop this behaviour? I was thinking of taking away the mat but she'd probaby just use the floor then. The couch is of course the big problem.

Is it true that being too close to dogs can make us contaminated with toxoplasm and rubella virus which is bad for baby, causing it to suffer from autism or born without skull?
Coz I have a friend who was very close to dogs when she's pregnant, now the baby is born dead without skull. The doctor said that the virus came from dog

Anyone has information about it and how to prevent this?

symptoms:
- many small patches as a result of loss of fur (about 1cm diametre) cover most of her body (where she can reach to scratch)
- itching
- bad smell

we took her to the vet already, they gave her some anti biotics which helped a little bit but not enough. they then gave her some quarterzone; this helped a bit, but once again wasn't good enough, and the condition came back worse tha never after that.

we have also tried washing regularly with dog shampoo.

the vet has only ruled out sub surface mites...

any help would be appreciated

Should I just ignore his howling and get him on a reg schedule feeding 3 times per day? Is he old enough to wait? Will he get sick if he doesn't eat in the middle of the night? I need my sleep! He is healthy and crate trained. He eats normally except for the late night hunger.

My puppy is 12 weeks old and totally out of control. She jumps, bites, yelps and eats everything in sight. I have tried a firm 'No' whenever she does something she shouldn't, I've tried squirting her with water and I've tried a shaker. Help!

We have noticed over the last month that Bonnie, our 13 year old pavement special dog, can just hear our whistling only - no response to voice calls and usual noises like door bells ect. There are no signs of any infection to her ears. I presume that it is a natural thing following her old age. Is there anything that can be done to possibly help increase her hearing ability?

My two year old shih tzu just gave birth to 5 pups six days ago. Then my siblings discovered that her left eye is in the early stage of cataract. Is there an operation to cure that?

I work at a dog rescue.We purchased dog beds for all of the dogs at our rescue.The problem we are having is we are constantly having to buy new beds because occassionaly a dog will pee on the bed and the inner stuffing then gets soaked with the urine.It is very difficult to then get the urine smell and stain out of the bed stuffing(some are cotton inside and some are cedar)The beds have covers with zippers on them to easily take off and wash but the urine seeps through the cover to the inside. We were thinking of making waterproof covers or liners that would stay on the cushion and then we could just take off and wash the outter covers they came with when needed with no worries about the inner "pillow"getting wet.Any ideas of what material to use and how to do this would be greatly appreciated. We are spending a fortune on dog beds. Thanks

I have a 13 month old beagle and a 4 month old heeler. I want to train them to walk together on a leash. The heeler always wants to stay by my side but the beagle wants to runs ahead and sniff (he gets very distracted on walks). How can I train them to walk together on a leash?

My 2 month old beagle ate a Syberian Huskys dinner (not all of it) but probably 4 times what he normally gets for dinner. I am worried sick! The vet is not answering his phone and I need to wait till tommorrow morning to take him. The puppy seems to be doing fine, he's just sleeping a lot but he is gagging, and breathing quite fast every so often like trying to vomit, plus his belly got HUGE. Please help, I love my puppy and I want to know WHAT TO DO and if he's going to be okay

I just wanted information from someone who has owned both breeds. I have three miniature dachshunds, two females (ages 2 and 5) and a male (age 10 months). I am going to get a yorkie girl this weekend and have heard all kinds of horror stories about them, which has me worried. I have done my book research and realize although yorkies have common terrier traits each one has different personalities. The yorkie girl I am getting is on the calm side. I am just wondering if raising a yorkie is any less or more difficult/easy than a dachshund and what major differences should I expect.

The names I picked seem retarded *winifred and mave, both symbolic* and my dad, namer of ever animal to come into my life, picked an even worse name *michu, pronounced like a scottsman talking about his shoe* and what I've been reffering to her as just doesn't fit a papillon at all. Serious, can you see a gorgeous tri-color pap coming to the call of "Here Booboo, come here Booboo?" Neither can I. Works fine now, but here in 6months it just won't fit, and I need something to put on her tag NOW.

I want something kinda themed, but not blatantly. That means a French or Spanish name, and I have a thing for unisex names. Thanks for any suggestions, and I swear I'm not a mindless dribble of a person that can't even come up with a name. I just come off that way occasionally.
