Dogs - January 2007

Dog constantly barks at everything. I have tried doing everything but getting her a shock collar, but i think we will have to. At what age is appropriate for this? She is a almost 6 month old Min Pin and weighs about 9 lbs. Can anyone suggest some collars that they have used and had sucess with?

Okay - Please let me know the breed. The story behind it.
I personally own an Akita - He has protected me twice, both times in woods. (one when he was only four months old the other when he was nine months) At nine months these dogs are bigger than most. (He was 100% right to protect me the second time - There really was danger, he just barked and growled but it did the trick) So, please let me know how your dog has protected you. Thanks.

The Vet said that our dog probably had a stroke. He had a siezure the other day and frothed at the mouth and peed on the floor. He was riged for a few minutes while he was shaking. The Vet said that dogs are different than humans in the fact that they may be able to use the other side of the brain to heal themselves. He was acting strange before and after his siezure. He was shaking a lot like if he was very cold and getting really close to us and following us into the bathroom which he never did before. He also was climbing into the bathtub and sitting there. He doesn't like to take a bath that much. He would also growl at us for no reason. He is still acting funny. It has been about a week now.

We have a 9 month old chocolate lab and have jsut brought home a 2 month old Siberian husky. The husky doesnt bark and the two dogs dont bite or bark at each other. But for some reason our lab if he is not on a leash will run all over the house non stop sometimes growling. What should i do? last night they licked each other to sleep so it seems like they get along

Weve tried everything under the sun, i think she gets the concept, but it seems like she cant hold it. and she knows she does wrong, bc everytime she goes on the floor she runs and hides. we dont leave her food sitting out either, so she cant continually eat. she also goes in her cage, and its not to big for her either. i know dachshunds are hard to train, but i never knew it would take this long. What do i do?????

its a stray and i cant take her to the hospital. i firts gave her sulphur and scratching reduced by 60% but seeing her whimper and biting herself,i called a NGO vet and described the condition..hair missing cut ears, face full of wounds and he felt it was mange as 90% dogs suffer from it ,when i told him that she has pink boils he was fully convinced and adviced half ivermectine for six weeks. 3 days back after the second dose i noticed she was scratching very little,but just 2 days back i saw increased itching and new attack just above her eye..its horrible to see her whole face full of bleeding wounds. now im desprate and giving her sulphur (which i had stopped for 10 days) i try sprinking sulphur on her, but am scared also that she may not like it and bite me. i dont want to call the animal ngo as i like seeing her every day and plan on curing her myself ,also they might not come . is it natural that mange has attacked a new area..? how many doses before her ordeal ends?

My dog weighs 80 pounds and is holding up his left front paw. There is a swelling and it's tender. I need to get him downstairs; however, I can't carry him and I don't think he will let us carry him down in a blanket. How do I get him downstairs?

Okay so I have heard that Shiba Inu's don't get along with other dogs ..is this true?? If not what breeds will be good for my Shiba Inu, I really want her to have a friend but cannot deal with trying to train another Shiba Inu, she still at times can be very challenging. I really like small dogs and would love to have a small dog for myself so that Jacey (our shiba inu) will have a companion even though the breeds that I have been considering are small (toy) dog. Now I would like you to keep in mind that my shiba inu is only 4 months old so she is still a puppy. Any suggestions or advice I would greatly appreciate. Thank you!

I'm 23, but I'm not sure if I'm responsible enough to get a dog. My room-mate says "I like dogs." But I think he's not going to help with the dog and plus what if we fight over who gets to keep it forever?

My chocolate lab that is almost 4 cries everytime my 19 month old cries. Is it because it is sensitive to his ears or that he really is feeling sorry for him?

This is a serious question. Why do people adopt dogs from rescue groups or shelters? I am not talking about the moral points here such as saving a life etc. I am talking about how do you put a dog in your house that you know nothing about and may have all types of serious issues that flare up later? Please< I do not want to be preached at. I am looking for serious answers to a question that I have had for a long time. The reason this came up today is because a friend rescued a dog last week, against my advice, and the dog has already bitten 2 people. How and why do people do this? Serious answers only please.

Today, my 14 year old golden labrador had to be put down. It was done at home, and I stayed with her during he process until she passed away. I had been crying all day, she died about 11am, and we have buried her in the garden. I miss her terribly and the house feels so empty and quiet. Its only the last two days or so, she hasnt really been eating and she could stand up. In the night, the vet said she may have had a stroke because she had fouled and was lying in it (because she cant move) also, she was breathing funny and clearly wasnt happy, she always wags her tail when she sees us, but today, she was just an empty emotionless dog.She had lots of cancer that couldnt be operable, apparently labradors are prone to cancer. I am just so heartbroken. I didnt go into work, and we keep finding things of hers, and photos and makes me cry. When will it get easier? I dont want to forget her, but I feel guilty when I try to do other things to "take my mind off it" please no insensitive answer

I have tried everything it seems like. I have put her face in it and swat her butt and put her outside. I have bought dog pads for in the house. I have also got a kennel and she even goes in her kennel. She was adopted from the dog pound and I think is use to going in her kennel. She is still a puppy so why wont she learn.

We rescued an English Mastiff from a place that was foul. At first he behaved but after a couple of weeks he started to poop and wee in the house mainly in the kitchen as this is where he is left whilst we go out with a baby gate so he doesn't roam the house. He is still doing this regardless of the amount of affection he gets whilst we are at home. i come home for lunch and let both our dogs out so they can toilet. He is only by himself for 4 hrs in morning & 4 in afternoon. HE is also wrecking the house he has managed to break the washing machiene by pulling it out and eating the pipes and the wall socet off the wall for the storage heater! I don't know what to do we can not afford expensesive training. Can anyone help?!

We love the dog alot and on't want to get rid of him thanks.
