Dogs - January 2007

Why is it, trainer's and us all are told or even read that puppies dont remember within like 2 seconds what they did/done wrong, so not to reprimand them if isn't caught at that exact moment...right?
So, how come I have gotton as many "treats" out of my coat pocket the same amount of times I have taken my dog out for potty, he knows when I go to my coat and in my pocket that I have a treat for him.....but yet, he doesnt remember that going outside is ok, and going inside is not ok...
Hmmmm....I wonder.
Am I thinking this all the wrong way? Do you all understand what I'm trying to say, lol.

I work in the seafood department of a grocery store, and the meat market cuts their own steaks, ribs, and has a grinder for hamburger. I am absolutely sure of the quality of the meat, and can get all trimmings and left over burger I want for my doxie. I want people's experience on how much is ok, and will she refuse to eat her dry dog food if i bring some home for her.

I adopted a beautiful (rather large) dog 2 days ago from a lady who couldn't care for him anymore. I was under the impression that she did take care of him but her living arrangement was just too small for this huge of an animal. Until I got to looking at him! He has horrible ear mites (meds started today), dead fleas and gnats and grass tangled in his "mane" - he has horribly matted fur! He has the long golden retriever hair at the back of his ears and that was so matted I had to cut most of it but his mane and tail are so horribly matted that even a bath did help work them out. I have been brushing and brushing with no real help. Does anyone have any good ideas for getting these matts out WITHOUT shaving his fur? I took him to the groomer but they wanted to just shave him, said working out the matts would be too time consuming. I refuse to shave him, he has so much hair and shaving him would probably be very traumatic for him. PLEASE HELP!

I got my puppy from a shelter and she was living with a good foster parent. I was told that she is potty trained and the only way she will pee in the house is if she does not repsect me. I have raised dogs my entire life so i figured, no problem. She is an amazing dog and repect and listens very well. The only thing is, she pees everywhere! And it's not because she has to go to the bathroom...I will take her on hikes everyday and when we get home, she will pee! What is going on? Can dogs have urinary tract infection? Is she not potty trained? I have never had this problem with any of my other dogs. Help!

just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how i could try to get my dog to sleep outside without barking, we have only just got her and the first night we put her in the laundry because we did'nt have a kennel, but my dad hates the smell and wants her to sleep outside. The problem is when she was in laundry half the night she would scratch at the door, wanting out. i got up once to try and calm her, but then just ingorned her the rest of the night. i was jsut wondering if it will be worse when she is put outside. like will she bark and stuff if so how can i stop her from doing that?

My biggest problem with her is her ears. It never lays nicely. Is there a shampoo that will help to show off that georgeous coat of hers. I have rarely seen such a beautiful retriever. If only I could show it. All suggestions appreciated. Thanks for your time

At one point he was doing good. He would run to the newspaper when he needed to use the bathroom and when I took him outside he would use the bathroom. Now he still you the bathroom when I take him outside but, now he pees on the floor instead of the newspaper. Then one time he used the bathroom right beside the newspaper. What do I do?

my 8 month old Rottweiler has been diagnosed with hip displasia. Although I am not accepting this info. My question is this: if he has it on his right side, why does he favor his left? And sometimes doesnt put much weight on the left side? Shouldnt he favor the right? And isnt he too young to truly tell this disease? As far as I know the breeder shows no signs from parents....please help. I am giving glucosamin, nyzmes and metacam per my Vet (also pepcid each day)....thank you
