She's a wonderful pup, but ever since we adopted her (yesterday) she's been whining, alot. We think maybe it's because she's never been without her mom. We would like to know if it's common or what we think it is.

I know I'll be traveling each summer and yet I still want a dog. I'm thinking of a tiny dog that can ride in a small space underneath the seat ahead of me on the airplane. The carrier can only be 13L X 9H. Is there even a dog that could fit in this small space? The rules are that it should be able to stand up and turn around. I measured my cats and they are taller than 9 inches at their highest point. What kind of dog would fit in this space and am I being self-indulgent to expect a dog to ride up to 5 hours in a space like this?

Does anybody know where to get one not too expensive? I already checked the ASPCA. I am looking for one that is under $100 that somebody just wants one to go to a loving home and is not in it for the money.

My 5 month old Boxer cross went through a regression phase at around 3 1/2 months, it lasted about a week, and now at 5 months old it seems he has hit another one. Suddenly he's had 3 'accidents' in the house in two days (after weeks and weeks of successful house training) is once again crying when he is crated vs. never making a fuss since he was 10 weeks old, barking more and just acting plain neurotic. it's like he's 8 weeks old all over again.

I'm just looking for confirmation and maybe some anecdotes of the same flavor to put my mind at ease. I assume in a weel or so he'll be back to normal...but in the meantime ;)

i have a 14week maltese/shihtzu about 3lbs. Is 1 mile of walking too much for them? And how about 1 mile plus 30min rest plus another 1 mile?

I just got a 8 - 9 week old pit-bull mix puppy and he's scared to death of cars while walking on a leash. When cars aren't present, he's fine. He doesn't pull, stays at my side, and listens well. As soon as a car comes into view he will stop and lower his head and try to hide behind me. I've tried several different methods to calm him and reasure him that everything's ok. I've walked him around my car while it's off and while it's on and he's fine with both. I've walked him through parking lots and doesn't seem to fond of that. While walking i've tried the "drag" method, it works but i don't feel to good about it. I've tried to have him stop, bring him to full attention and watch the car go by to show him there's nothing wrong, and then giving praise, and that seemed to work ok. Is he too young to be training like this?? Any suggestions would be helpful, because i lead an active life and got a dog for some company during those activities. Thanks

The odds of being struck by lightning are 1 in 600,000 in the USA. Comparatively speaking you are 6 times more likely to be struck by lightning than you are to be killed by a dog of any breed. When you further break down the odds of being attacked and killed by a Pit Bull the odds are in your favor -approximately 1 in 145,000,000. That’s million folks. In contrast, you are 4 times more likely to be killed by a cow in the USA than any breed of dog, much less a Pit Bull

when my dog was a puppy, i used to sing a particular song a lot and he would just sit right in front of me and watch, it was so cute. he"s now 6 months but he only does that with this one song. even if i'm not there and it comes on the radio or on tv, he will just stop what he's doing and look for me. it's so strange, why that one song?

He was not doing this before, is this a sign of a problem? He snarls up, shows his teeth and was really going to bite me if I tried to take him from under the bed. He only does this at this time, no food aggression or any other wierd behavior. What can I do?? any answers would be appreciated.

Have you ever walked by a dog and it began to sudenly follow you. Now, compare that to a time you have rode your bike past a dog at 30mph. They get all vicious and start barking at you like they want to bite you. why is that?

Im going to be gone from 5/24-6/20 and im bringing my baby with me. I already made arrangements. But i looked on ebay and they were all mesh. I even looked at petsmart.com all mesh.

And I know i need a plastic type of kennel. I have flown many times, but with my father when we went to diffrent countries and he took care of the animal part. And i havent flown in about a couple years without dobermans, so I kind of forgot what i need to do. .

He is microchipped, and tatooed.
all shots are up-to-date
But, can i get his bill of health now. or do i have to do it right before i leave?

And is there anything i should do? I am kind of worried that the ppl who load him may take him or accedentally let him out (I secretly beleive everyone wants to steal my baby! lol)
also they told me that he has to go in cargo because he is so big.

Any help or tips will be appreciated!!!!!!!!
