ok so i have a mini doxen puppy and shes usually really hyper and playful and usually doesn't wear a collar [only a harness to walk] , but we just bought her a collar the other day and when we put it on her she all of a sudden gets really calm, tired, and almost lethargic. The weird thing is, when we take it off she goes back ot being hyper and we jokingly put it on when she gets out of control and it calms her down.

does anyone know why this happens or has had it happen to their dog.

do you think she just feels weird? and will she always be like this?

I adopted my puppy from a shelter in New Orleans at 11 weeks, now she's 7 mo. She was found a stray w/ 2 sibilings & no mom. The shelter said she's prob a german shepherd/chow but she's so small (32 lbs). Even though she was prob born a stray she acts as if she's been abused. She's terrified of most men, cautious of most women. She's extremely intelligent- learns fast & figured out how to escaped from her crate. She likes to climb on top of dressers/tables. She loves other dogs, and the 5% of people she's not scared of she LOVES. She is high energy, loves to chew bones & tear up paper. She must be hypoallergenic b/c my bf is allergic to most dogs, and not her. Her hair is short. She is very phobic, scared of anything w/ wheels, & storms. She doesn't bark at strangers or other dogs, just hides if she's scared. She will bark if shes in her crate & wants to get out.
Any ideas what she could be? Go here for pics:

A neighbor brought me this bundle of joy. She will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. She is the only survivor of the litter. My neighbor took the mom to the vet because she was having siezures.The mom lost the other pups due to lack of milk. The vet told her to find a nursing mom for the pup. Well I have raised alot of orphan kittens so they thought I was the person to do the job. Well Now i need your help. What can I feed her to get her thru the night? I have tried bottle feeding her whole milk and she was suckle. I rub'd her and she hasn't went potty yet either. The poor thing was smoothered in fleas also. I used some kitty shampoo and got them ALL off tho, what a job that was. Now if only I could get her to eat and go potty. PLease Help!. I named her Josie. Sorry for the typos but I am a bit worried for the pup right now.

I got home today and found an empty box of milkbones on the floor. He managed to open the pantry and got a hold of them. I left toys for him around along with raw hide and a stuffed kong.But i noticed he didn't even touch them. He also went throught the trash and left a mess. I know he was bored out of his mind if he was doing this. I take him for 2 - 1 hour walks everyday. Well i know he is going to get sick. so what do you guys recomend?

I have heard and read about feeding goats milk to my now 12 day old pup. When I first got her I started her on formula. Now I would like to try goats milk. Here are my questions?
1. Where can you find the goats milk?
2. Do I need to slow or I should say gradually switch her to the goats milk?
3.What can I put in it later for her to get use to solids?

There are some puppies up the street for sale. We have been doing a lot of research on breeds but haven't decided. I like the idea of a mixed breed, but I'm not sure about rotties.
Any insight?

Ah yeah, my 6 week old puppy just got slung and chewed up by my three year old labrador. Has a few gashes on his neck and taking him to the vet isn't an option at this point. I don't know what to do =(

My dog is currently on Nutro Max dog food. I want to change her food because she doesn't seem to like her food and she is shedding a lot. I know its shedding season right now, but she seems to be shedding a little too much. When she was a puppy I had her on Cannidae but she didn't seem to like that, so i switched her to Innova Evo, and she didn't like that either, and now shes on Nutro Max and she seems to have lost the taste for it. In the beginning she loved the nutro max perhaps because it was a lesser quality food and taste "better" because of all the stuff they did to it. BUt now she just doesn't like to eat it, what healthy or healthier dog food recommendations are there for her? Should I give her Innova or Cannidae again?

I will be crate training the puppy so he'll be in the crate when we are not home and to aid the the housebreaking process. I read somewhere that the puppy should sleep in a puppy bed in the same area where family members sleep (the bedroom). Won't it be difficult to work on housebreaking the puppy if he's not confined to his sleeping area at night??? I don't have a problem with a dog bed in my bedroom, but am concerned about nighttime accidents.

I just read in a book that you shouldn't let your chihuahua sleep with you because you might roll over and squish it? Does anyone else have a chi that sleeps with them? Have you ever heard of this happening?

Ok so i'm moving to texas and my sisters dogs have fleas and ticks. I have dogs and I dont want them catching any of these fleas or ticks because I'll be living with her while I"m there. She tries to get rid of them but I think she's having a hard time because the little tube thing she uses doesnt kill them so they end up on the carpets and sofas. I know there is some kind of pill the dogs can take and the fleas and ticks start coming off. I've seen them doing this on "animal planet". Do i need to take dog to a vet to get one of those? I dont need ticks on me OR my dogs. Please help. thanks.

My brother is allergic to a protein in dog saliva and its pretty bad. if he gets it in his eye his eyes puff up and he could possibly go into shock which could possibly kill him. MY brother also has asthma. Along with that he is mildly Autistic so he wont move out of the house any time soon. Im 15 years old and i want a dog! He hasnt had a rection in a long time and i know you can grow out of it but im a little afraid to test it. I thought of a plan to keep the dog outside 24/7 so saliva dosent get tracked into the house. my mom dosent want to risk it though. Im trying to find a way to make this all work, so please help me or suggest somthing or if you had a similar problem please let me know of your progressions. I really want some feedback so any help would be appreciated! (P.S. We have a nice backyard, its big)

My friend works at a shelter, shes offering me a pit bull he's potty trained 21/2 very sweet and gets along great with my other tiny 7 pound dog. I live alone far away from friends and family, my boyfriend says no way! And that they're vicious dogs. But the dog is very sweet and passed all the temper test in the shelter.

my dog is having pain in his back left foot. He doesn't want to put any pressure on it so holds it up as he walks. He is really good about coming to me for help when he is in pain, so I was able to check out the pads of his feet and in between his toes for thorns or cuts/scratches/bites. I also felt and moved all of the bones in his foot and leg. He was comfortable with all of the touching and there doesn't seem to be any "hot spots". There doesn't appear to be anything wrong- no swelling, no redness, no visible injury. What could be wrong?
