I have a small timber deck at my rear door. I constantly hose it down and spray with white vinegar to neutralize the smell. I have also used the products Nil Odor and Urine Off but they continue to wee on this deck as soon as they leave the house. When I am home I shoo them off the decking but it's difficult to always be there to do this. Has anyone had a problem similar to this and how did you solve it? Help me please...

Should i be concerned? I was told that bitches come into season at 6 months. Other people have said she is quite small for a Labrador, could this be affecting her growth? On the other hand people have also said she is big, i'm not to concerned about her size i'm more concerned with her coming into season. Advice please

I was given a 6 month old puppy from my sister who had called her ugly...I know shocking, she was nearly bald as a pup, but now she's grown she's not bad. Although I did overhear someone say she's like 'a weasel on a rope' .....(....I am just composing myself from the indignity)
Anyway I want to call her Ugly Betty, like the TV, and then leave of the Ugly bit. She looks at me when I call her Betty, but still seems confused, She comes when I call her , anything.

We live in an old victorian in SF and there is a steep staircase both front and back. We have a tennant in our lower flat. 12 year old German Shepard feeling her age and I suspect arthritus. We've thought of slings and carrying her on our backs, but we're getting up there too. Some kind of pully? Wheel chair folks might have some ideas. . .

Im thinking of getting a small dog, prehaps a shih tzu. I work from 8.00 am to 4.30 Mon to Fri and dont want to keep the dog outdoors. I would be able to come home at lunch for 20 mins to let him relieve himself and I live near a beach so daily exercise wont be a problem. Is it fair to keep him in doors while im at work????

I am 24 weeks pregnant and have 2 Miniature Schnauzers. The female is gentle while the male is aggressive and unfriendly towards children and strangers. He may appear harmless but may just snap at them any moment (unpredictable). However, he does listen to my commands well and has never been disobedient to me. He is also intelligent but is easily jealous. I will not give up my dogs because they have been with me for 4 years. Does anyone have any suggestions to share on how to get my pet accept my newborn and make him love my baby like he loves my husband and I? Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for reading.

My new pup is agressive during play. Sometimes when I tell her to stop, she does but then she growls. Is she trying to dominate me? Is she going to turn out to be a big agressive dog? What could I do to test what she is thinking? I need to know whether she just plays rough or if she is trying to take over , so I can nip any dominance or aggressiveness in the bud before she gets too big.

If you're wondering why so many people are so adamant about people getting their dogs and cats fixed,please click on this link,and watch.And there are more videos as well;you might want to check them out,epecially the "kill box" video.Then you'll know why it's better to spay and neuter than to breed indiscriminately.

Ok I am wanting to know what are the best lap dogs. I am talking a dog breed that likes to play with kids but also loves to sit in a persons lap or sit beside them on a couch or sleep with them in a bed and just be spoiled rotten. A breed that has energy but has calm moments as well. Overall easy to train to sit and stay and socializes well.

I got a girl labrador from the same pet shop 4 years ago. i had to put her down when she was 2 because she had very servere hip dysplasia and had pra. i thought i would get another pup from the same shop and i thought they would have changed. so this is what my question and problem is...!

i went to the pet shop to look at the puppies they have there (atleast 40) and i saw a cute little boy chihahua for $900 so i bought him because i was looking for a chi pup for atleast 7 months prior to this. he was actually $1500 but they lowered his price because he was 7 weeks old and was to hard to sell now. after signing all the paper, i took him home and took a look at him because they said their vet was unavilable for 3 days on holidays. i found he had a cold, a scab on his left cheek, crust stuff OVER his pen!s and he limped a LITTLE BIT. (this was all yestersay) he has not broken thru the crust on his pen!s, his scab now has gone all black, he is limping a bit more and his cold has ....

..."dont breed your puppy, you should get them neutered instead"?

My puppy is 7 wks old. I just want to know the age of males when they are able to breed. My female is a cpl of years older. Ive already beentold that that doesnt matter when it comes to breeding them. I also asked how long is she in heat for? I already know she goes into heat 2x a year, but for how long each time? We are getting our breeders license. We have Bassett Hounds. They are registered. Bassett Hounds are one of the #1 wanted breeds in our area because they are hard to find. We were lucky to find ours. We love this particular breed because or their personality and are not in it for the money. Can I please get a real answer and not be judged by wanting to breed my pets? My question I am referring to can be seen here....http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArtcKcRE3hTAub1ToumwPxjsy6IX?qid=20070124133606AANydwt

Thank you very much.

I have a 6month old Gordon setter female and I was wondering when a good time to start taking her for jogs and long walks is. I heard doing hard excersize at a young age can harm their joints and cause hip problems. She gets about an hour walk a day after I get home from school. When is a good time to start training her for dog sports like agility and flyball?

Oh yeah, one more thing. Do they all go through such a leggy and awkward stage? She basically all legs and sometimes they just don't do what she wants!

Here is her dogster profile if you want to see her:
