My puppy is 13 weeks old. She likes to bite. Most of the time she is just playing, but on a few ocasions she has hurt our Rottweiler who is 10. I would very much like to break her of this because I have 2 very young neices and a nephew on the way.

convince her to keep her four feet on the ground. (picture the Disney character Tigger, that's her.) When she wants to greet someone or knows she is going for a ride in the car or a walk, she is absolutely headlong, rearing and pawing like a wild horse (BTW, she has 2400 sq ft to run in) If I physically restrain her (by holding onto her collar or stepping on the leash) she is like a coiled spring just waiting until the leash is loosened to explode again. She is extremely intelligent (she can pick between five different chewtoys I ask for; will retrieve, knows what I mean by "sit or lay down") I try to get her to sit before I let her in or out of the door, she literally vibrates and it's like she's 'gonna blow, Cap'n!" It's as if she doesn't focus on what I'm saying, too wound up in her own excitement. When she comes to me for petting, she spins around in front of me til she rolls over on her back submissively. I'm not an excitable person, I use a low authoritative voice with her.

We are looking to adopt a new puppy/dog and I have seen prices from $77.00 up to $300.00.
In my opinion $300.00 is alot for a humane society when you can go to a breeder and buy a dog for about the same or a little more.
What do you think?

Anyone else train with Bark Busters? I just had them in and WOW...what an amazing way to train your dog! Our pup has changed drastically in the past two weeks! I love that they are with you for life too!!

Not really a question...just wondering if anyone else had the same experience?

My first thought was kennel cough. and yes she is vaccinated against kennel cough. I took her to the vet, (who I am beginning to think is useless) and the vet said that having a cough for about two weeks doesn't seem like a symptom of kennel cough. The vet offered no other advice, they always rush you out of the office. However I read on the internet that kennel cough is like a cold in people and it sometimes takes a few weeks to go away. She has had a cough for about 3 weeks now. She coughs occasionally, maybe 12 times a day at the most. She coughs hard like she is trying to cough something up but nothing ever comes. Any ideas?

some people are of the view that german shephards are of extract or wolfs or alsations,,,
German Shepard are not Alsations and neither wolfs....
in 1899 a a german calvery officer Max van Stophanitz bought a 5 year old dog hektor smaller than the german shepards we know today. He liked it so much he renamed it Horand von Grafrath and 2 weeks later with a friend Set up a club and founded the German Shephards the Verein fur Deutsche Schaferhunde or S.V Horand
this is how German Shephard got there name and how there were first founded...
they are not related to Alsations neither the wolf too
most police force around the world use the german Shephard or Alsation for its inbelriveable talents in most things...

if anyone would care to read Dr Bruce Fogle book on German Shepard this is the referance I've took this from....
hope this info has been a help to GermanShepard Owner just like myself...
Cheers caio Bon Chance..

I am an animal rights activist and I am disgusted by dog fighting. I think it's cruel and inhumane treatment of defenseless animals and more severe punishments should be enforced on those found guilty and convicted of this. I'd like to know other peoples points of view. Thanks

I love the kong ball and it's great to use when I'm not home, and it exercises my dog's jaw muscles and cleans his teeth, but.... Won't all the food inside the kong ball add extra calories to my dog's diet and make him fat? And all of the human food make him unhealthy?

I have been able to stay home with our new puppy for 3 days now, but tomorrow I will have to put him in his crate for a few hours while I am in school. He still cries if I leave him in his crate overnight, but eventually he stops and goes to sleep. Should I feel bad if I leave him alone during the day knowing he's going to cry?? It sounds soooo sad!!

I understand that puppies bite as an expression of playfulness and communication, but his biting is getting worse and worse. Now he just wants to clamp down on you and not let go. I've tried telling him "No" and even tried to yelp in doggy talk as some articles suggest, but he just keeps coming back for more. Any tips please!
