Our Newfie is kept outdoors (sometimes although brief moments he is brought into our garage for some warmth from the woodstove in there) all the time. We live in central Minnesota. My SO does not want him inside. I just feel concerned for him out there in below 0 temps...he is alone and I personally think he's cold. He isn't shivering...and I have read that Newfie's were/are used in chilly icy waters for rescue work and such...so is he alright out there??? The other thing that concerns me is he is alone out there (no doggie friend to snuggle up to)...and dogs are pack/social animals, not loners.

What did you use it for, and what were the results? Did you use it for infection, ear mites, or cleaning the ears out? I'm doing some research on it, and I wanted people's opinions, on the advantages and disadvantages, of using tea tree oil on pets ears.

OK, so I have a dog, he's 3. We adopted him just over a week ago and he came from a bad home.

The first two days we had him (when he was the most nervous), he did GREAT with his potty training....he never went inside. But now, now that he's become more comfortable in the hosue (I guess), he won't go outside! Errr! I take him out, we walk around in circles for five minutes and then within 10 minutes of coming inside, he poops on the carpet.

I try and keep an eye on him. I literally follow him around the house to make sure I see when he's about to go so I can take him outside and he does nothing. As soon as I go to the bathroom or start making lunch, or put my child to bed or start laundry - ANYTHING, he runs upstairs and poops (and pees sometimes, but mostly just poo) in the hallway or the bedrooms.

What can I do to make him poop outside? I can't leave him out there because I don't have a fence.

i dont want to scold her cause i feel its a normal puppy thing to do. if i let hep keep biting and playing rough, will she learn this behavior and and continually bite and chew things when she is bigger. it allready hurts when she bites and im worried if i keep letting her do so when she is a full grown rot. she is going to be too vicious and bite someone real bad. i have plenty of toys for her and 2 cats to keep her company. please dont suggest toys. she uses them when there is no face or hand to bite.

My last dog was a five yrs old from the pound and he lived for over ten years before he passed. He had his own set of problems, but i loved him. So after a couple of years i decided to get a puppy 4months old now because everyone said i would be better off with the training!! she was a outside dog at her original home and when i brought her here she was able to stay inside and we got the potty traing ok but she has a terrible!! fear about me being gone to work and being outside on a nice day..How do i make her feel safe and also feel like she needs to stay in her own yard? she does get out after i sit and look for ways that she might do it, she finds a place somehow and i have all her toys and things out to help her. Also any tips on how to establish where she can go in the yard and how to keep them out of your flower beds. thanks i feel like a new mom and im thinking ahhhh i wantt to do this right but im so out of my element.

I had been using IAMS based on a vet and kennel recommendation but thanks to a few previously though dog food snobs thoughtful comments on a previous question I did check out the ingredients, compared prices and find that the latter is definitely much better than the former and not that much more expensive; $12 bucks more for 5lbs less but the dog is worth it.

Question: So, what is the best way to ween a dog to a new food?

My labrador is 3 years old and well socialised with people and other dogs. He gets on fine with most dogs and plays well with them but he feels he has to assert his dominance against other younger labradors of about 1 year old. He will normally smell them up first then roughs them up - the other dog submits but mine will go on roughing it up till I intervene and pull him off. I think it's more noise than any real damage but not pleasant for the other dog or its owner. I could prevent him from meeting other dogs but in general I think it is very good for dogs to socialise and learn to get on with each other. Any ideas as to how I can stop his bullying behahiour?

I personally love pit bulls. But for those who hate pit bulls...Have you ever PERSONALLY met a pit bull? I know my mom and step dad HATE pit bulls, based one the news and stories they hear from neighbors. They have never actually touched a pit bull. And my real dad used to be the same, until he met his friends pit bull. He couldn't believe what a sweet dog she was. It took him 52 years to actually Pet a pit bull who was owned by a responsible person, and when he did, he fell in love. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and i work at a vet clinic now. I have never met this vicious killing beast so many people talk about. I have only met very sweet family pets. So for people who hate pit bulls..why do you hate them? Have you ever had personal interaction with one??

Our great dane has recently bit our sons 4 year old friend twice. The do is 2 and has been around this boy for over a year. The dog and the child have played together and there has never been any problems before. The dog is laid back, very sweet and never shown any type of agression. Is this common? What should we do?
