Dogs - January 2007

My dog is in heat and keeps getting loose. I called the vet to get her spayed. It is going to cost upwards of $200. We have had some medical expenses and I cannot afford this. They told me they would not let me make payments and I had to get it done within the week or I have to wait and let her have puppies. I still have three of the last litter she had. I have tried to find her a new home where she can be taken care of but no one wants her. The pound is so full that she will be put down within hours and the shelter only takes abused animals. I have called everyone and explored every option. I don't know what to do. I love my dog but I can't afford to spay her right now and I can't afford to let her have puppies. I am sitting her crying because I don't want to have her put down. What can I do?

I have 2 dogs. One is a Mutt and the other one is a Siberian Hushky. When I tied them up near the dog house they listen to me to whatever I told them to do like..Sit, Bark, Lay Down, Stay, and Stand up. But... when i put a leash on them.. OMG its a nightmare......they started to pull and run. I tried calming them down by giving them treats and such needs. I tried spraying tiny drop of water on their faces but they still pulling on the leash. Most of the time, I couldn`t even hold them back. I don`t want to unleash them because I don`t want them to tear up the nieghbor`s garden. PLZ tell me what should I do.....

There is a guy on here that has been attacking me
for taking it stray litters.. He does not know how I live or how my dogs live alot the questions I ask are for a friend also..To call some one a puppy mill is awful and really hurtful.. if you new me you would be able to ask the people i have placed puppies with.. Thhey come to my home to surrender and to adopt.. Most of the puppies I take in are on the way to the pound I am not a puppy mill front.. I can honestly say that I have never purchase from the same person ... all the dogs i recieve are from people that didnt fix there pet.. I give them a long lecture that most of the puppies will probley end up in and shelter in latter years even if they are place in great homes people die people get devorce things dont work like you want them to... so fix your dogs...I am good with God I have had many poelpe praise me for what I am doing....and just because you take a class at petsmart doesent make you a trainer

Thanks!

I am having a hard time house training our dog. We got him last week and he was about 6 to 8 weeks old. I let him out and he goes but I have to chase him for like 30 minutes just to get him to come back ot me and when you are doing this at 3 or 4 in the morning it is not fun. I am trying the leash thing but he will have no part of it. He runs from me when I try to get it on him. When we are outside he refuses to go and I will stay out there for about 30 to 45 minutes so he has plenty of time to go. He won't do it. He will literally wait until he gets back in the house and go in the spare bedroom and go there. I don't know what kind of dog he is either so i don't know if this is a breed issue or not. We believe he is part rott and something else. But then again he kinda has a hound dog face and ears. But thanks in advance to all who answer. I appreciate it, Holly

My little shih-poo's breath smells so bad, like an accumulation of spit. I've tried everything to get rid of the foul odor, brushing her teeth, putting scope in her waterbowl, giving her spearment gum, placing listerine pocket-packs on her toung, even yelling at her. Nothing seems to be working. Whenever I give her a denta-bone, she poops smelly and green for at least 2 days. Please help this foul-mouthed little pooch. Thanks

I have done some research on the web and with our lifestyle (we work full time) we are conisdering this breed of dog as it appears not to suffer from separation anxeity as compared to other small dog breeds (e.g. Shih Tzu, Maltese etc..) Anyone own one and can vouch for this?

At first I thought it was becuase they were puppies, but now they are like 6 months old and I have to constatntly watch them when I take them out beacuse they will eat it off the ground, at night it is hard to closely watch the both of them. I just wish it would stop so i didnt have to follow them around all the time when they go out to go to the bathroom.

My dog is 10 yo and not as active, but he is very strong. He pulls me if I walk him on a leash and I can't control him. We don't have a fenced in back yard. I think he is bored, what can I do?

i have a medium size hound cross and i'm thinking of getting a friend for him (in about a years time) i can't handle 2 dogs his size so i thought a small one would be better. he is a neutered male and at first sight looks aggressive around dogs. he then sits and waits to say hello, but the owners are usually put off by his firts reaction. can you suggest a few breeds? the dog needs to be able to cope with long walks.

I am so tired of reading about them. I dont understand why we blame the dog when in most cases it is the owners fault. People your dog is an animal. Animals do what animals do!!! They will also do what they have been trained to do. Lack of training is the real reason most of these dogs hurt people. I read some answers that say people shouldnt own dogs if they have kids. Well, if I used that logic, I shouldnt take my kids fishing. Last year a women was killed when a swordfish jump in the boat as she was trying to reel it in and pierced her heart. And lets not forget no one should cross the street because there may be a bus coming. More people are bitten by small dogs but, you dont see anyone protesting Yorkies do you? Thanks, for letting me vent!!!!

I have read over all the previous answers to puppy names. She is a pretty white with light brown spots and freckles all over her nose. She loves the water and is laid back. My husband does not want a girlie name and I want something different and not a boy name. we are trying to compromise and it is not working. It is almost a week and we still do not have a name. Any suggestions to something unique and kinda feminine but not too much??

I have a 10 wk old boxer, he is the joy of my life, except when he plays this new "game" he loves oh so much. When he gets very playful, he latches on to our pant legs and starts pulling, when we say "NO" and try to pry him off, he then starts play biting our hands, and anything else he can reach on us. Clearly this can't be a habit as he gets bigger. I have tried ignoring him, yelling NO in a deep, stern voice, it doesn't phase him. Does anyone know of other techniques we could try to get the point across at his age?

Oh, by the way, we have tried wearing shorts around the house so he ins't tempted, then he just goes for our bare ankles!

my 3 yr old Maltese named destiny is having 5 puppies. i bred her with my 1 yr old male Maltese named Duke on the 11th of novemeber in 2006. when will the puppies be due?

she is already showing milk from her nipples and is having a loss of appetite. i can feel the pups in her so im sure they cant be too far away. i know dogs are usually pregenant for approx. 65 days or 9 weeks but these pups might be due earlier as she is showing continuous pregnancy signs. my male still tries to hump her even when she isnt on her period, why is that?
i did a bit of research on breading before i bred destiny and duke so i am not a insider breeder.
she is very healthy and is not eating much bit i think that is a pregnancy sign. she is also a little bit restless and is always walking around and drinking water. could the puppies come earlier then expected? if so, are their any health risks to desitiny or her puppies? i dont want her to get in pain before her much expected pregnancy birth!

dogs are coming into our yard, tearing things up under our home, fighting with our dog, chasing our cat, and waking us up at night with constant barking and fighting. i chase them off as often as i can, but it doesn't work. these dogs are costing us money to repair things under the house. we live in "the woods" there is no animal control. my next step is to start shooting them. any suggestions?
