My boyfriend and I both work 8 hour days. I am home on lunch to play and let our 3 month old Australian Shepherd out. Also in the a.m. and p.m. we work him a lot. Go for walks/runs, and bring him to parks until he is pretty wore out. My question is since he is alone for almost 8 hours a day what things could keep him occupied while were gone? Toys, etc......? He is kept in doors, and right now since he is small we keep him in a large kennel and he bahves very well. But we will allow him his entire room if thats better with maybe a baby gate at the door? Opinions PLEASE!!!!


*also, i realize Aussies are working dogs and need a job, but he is not purebred he is a mix. The only thing that resembles an Aussie is his coloring, otherwise he is very petite. We adopted him because he was practically on his death bed at 6 weeks old. So PLEASE no harsh criticism on his breed because there is nothing we can do about it now. We love him dearly and want the best for him

Our dogs tongue hangs out slightly no matter what ... and that is contributing to his loose teeth. They are healthy but the gums are not. Our vet said it's common for dogs to have this problem when they are older. What should we do. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Both dogs are female, would this alter the older dogs life span?

I'm going on a 12 hours road trip over the holidays. I travel by car. My two pugs hate traveling in the car. They would both cry for the whole 12 hours. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again. Thanks!

Two weeks ago I adopted a 2 year old terrier mix from a shelter? They thought she was in heat but my vet confirmed that she was not. Her nipples are enlarged so I am not sure if she is pregnant now or if the enlarged nipples are due to a previous pregnancy. She is scheduled to see the vet again on Monday for vaccinations. Does anyone know if the nipples remain enlarged after a dog has had puppies?

How do you respond to blatent breed predjudice?

This morning, I took Stella, my female APBT with me to PetCo. She was sitting beside me quite calmly when a man walked up to me, tapped me on the shoulder, and said "That beast should either be muzzled or put out of it's misery". Stella just kept wagging her tail.

Usually, those type of comments roll right off my shoulders, but for some reason, I was very upset. Stella and I left empty handed immediately after.

How does everyone else respond to these comments?

It's been so long since I had a puppy....what should I do about this bite? I have no other animals and all my floors are hardwood w/ no carpet for fleas to get into and I feel pretty confident that I can get rid of the rest of her fleas w/ flea and tick shampoo...but what should I do about this one area?

I have tiles in my house. The whole 1st story is tile. Their porcelain. My chihuahua stays downstairs all the time and I was wondering does the tile have any affect on her? The tiles get really cold.

Last November we got a puppy. She was around two months old. She's a lab / viszla mix and is spayed and healthy.

Originally we thought our electric fence was in, but it was not, so we couldn't put one in until the ground unfroze. We had issues getting her out there in the snow with the leash. She had been doing okay with her training up until it snowed and at that point it all went bad.

Now almost a year later, where she will pee/poop outside of the house if I take her out at the right time, but she will not tell me she has to go nor will she hold it. She has an area in the house that she has picked as her "poop room" and she will go there.

How can I break her of these habits. I want her to TELL me she has to go or at least hold it until I let her go (she's fully trained with the invis fence). She does have a crate that she will get into, but she whines constantly when in it. We worry blocking her off from that room will make her go elsewhere (as she has gone in other rooms)

Continuing from: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070928051743AA4qRof

She has very thick fur so will this lessen the effectiveness of a prong or pinch collar?

We can't avoid other dogs, there are at least 50 others just in the building we live in. The apartment is next to a park so almost everyone around the park also has a dog- and this is where I'll have to walk her. That's why I'm kind of desperate for a quick fix to a problem that doesn't have a really appropriate quick fix.

As far as electric collars, I've never been in favor of them. But if anyone has good things to say about them, I'd like to hear about them and how to go about using them.

Can anyone offer any additional info about prong collars? I don't have experience with them and don't want to make any mistakes.

Thanks to all who answered the other question and thanks in advance for help with this one!

So I hung the flier suggested on the door of the dog owners and I woke up this morning to find it stuffed under my door. I don't know if they thought I did it or were passing it around to other pit owners. But after yesterday I really feel something needs to be done - seeing the girl handle the pit, screaming Oh My God repeatedly as she tried to hold it back from myself and my pit puppy coming home from work (ripping her jeans down the middle in the process). I also heard her call the dude and say how the dogs kept fighting and I could hear them through the door going at it. I don't want them to get evicted dogs to get taken away,or anything terrible like that, I just want to feel safe, feel like they are under control, not be scared to take my pup to the bathroom, and not have to be worried about the neighbors' kids and pets. Any ideas?

weve been treating our dog with frontline, and treating house with spray/hoovering, we got our dog a haircut, but he's got scabs all over his coat.

last night when we put him on his bed (we were washing the cover) so its white and we noticed alot of black specks, i dont know if this is flea dirt?

general dirt (as he was walked to the groomers) ??

or actual fleas?? i sprayed it with Perymythin spray and they didnt move, so would it be flea excrement or flea dirt? how can i tell?

also is there any way 2 tell what is cat fleas and dog fleas? i would love to know as i could maybe distinguish how he got them. he either got them from the field from another dog, or maybe a stray cat (as cats come in our back yard)
