We got our puppy last week, and we've luckily had 2 weeks off work. We start back next Monday. Our puppy has only been in his crate at night and maybe an hour or so in the afternoon if we're gone. Do you think it would be smart to start simulating our schedule this week so that he's all ready used to the 8 hour stay in his crate by the time we go back to work? One of us will be home in the afternoon for lunch, so we'd let him out during our trial run during that time.

My dogs prefer "wet" or moist treats like cheese, Hebrew National hotdogs, Zukes Mini Naturals, and lamb sticks for training in things like agility, but I'm always on the look out for good dry treats. They like Liver Biscotti and Innova EVO treats. What dry treats do your dogs like?

I was hoping someone would now. I think he's mixed. He's blue-eyed and he's not as puffy as a Japanese Spitz.

Here are some photos:

I was told this as a small child and it stuck with me, although I haven't heard anything else about it. Is this true? If so, why? Thanks!

I have had three boxer puppies beofre this one so this is my third. Plus my parents are on thier second. When boxers are puppies they tend to grow to fast and start limpong due to joint pain. My Vet did warn against this. He says that fluid build up is the culprit and he has stoped doing surgury on this type of injury because after a few weeks the fluid leaves the area and the dogs heal and surgury tends to be a waste of the owners money. So back to my question, what dose of baby asprin do I give her. He told me but I forgot. He is Not open on the weekend and she has a slight limp again. I know its not a real bad injury because the swelling and limp come and go. If she plays hard she limps for a few hours and then it goes away... She has never yelped and it does go aways after a few hours. But I want to be able to make her comfy in the meantime. Please help if you know the dose.

My shih-tzu just had eye surgery and needs to wear a surgical "cone" to keep her from scratching her eyes. However, it slips off her head and can cause just as much damage as her claws. In order to keep it on her neck...you would have to practically choke her, which I think the dumb vet assistant did. She was completely stressed out to the point where her tongue is turning blue. I've removed it and I'm keeping her in my arms 24/7. She's amazing and can stay that way forever, but as much as I love her...I can't!!!! Any body have any other solutions to keep her eye protected????? She needs to wear this for 4 weeks.

I gave my two puppies worming medicine I bought at Wal-mart and the older one (about 4 and a half months old) seemed sick immediatly. She started acting lethargic and vomiting. Then the other one-who is around 10 old) started acting sick today (four days later). They both seem to have diarehha and have little energy. I think now it may be parvo. I had a puppy die of the disease when I was in high school and dispite the fact that he'd been vacinatted and was a healthy puppy until then he died after recieving a wk of IV fluids and my mother was given a hugh bill from the vet. I can not afford to have two dogs on IV drips for a wk at a vets office and then have them die anyways. I did get them their shots and we live in an urban area where they are rarely in contact with other dogs. Anybody got any information about what to do.

So my pup recently has had allergic reactions to Purina Pro plan (such as dander biting paws and scratching alot) so I switched her food to Solid Gold Wolf Cub about a week and a half ago she has since stoped biting her paws and the scratchig isnt anything out of the norm but the dander is still there, shes a 7 month old 65 lbs Black Lab so with her being black and her coat being so shinny I see every piece of dnader on her, im guessing I need to give the new food a few more weeks to really set in but is there anything to do for the dander for the time being, I was told by my father to go out and buy oatmeal shampoo, any suggestions ?

My white poodle, Mochi, is lost and I posted a quesiton asking people to pray for her safe return. However, Yahoo deleted it because it was a violation of chatting. I see other posts for the same thing but they have not been deleted. So, my question is, will you pray for the safe return of my dog? Is that the proper way to state the question? She was lost in Sharpsburg, GA on 12/26/07.

It's sad that some people think they are, when everybody should know that this depends on the owner and hence the upbringing of the little 1, be it a dog...or child!
Any dog can be dangerous if it is raised badly. Any child can
be dangerous if it is brought up badly. If a dog does something wrong, blame the owner, and hopefully this will soon be a law to include children. Blame the parents/owners because they are responsible for the attitude either has been taught.
Soon we are to make it illegal to own certain dogs. I wonder when the same law will be applied to children?

if the pup misbehaves and do things which are unacceptable, do you let it go and forgive because the pup is basically a baby?

my pup fails to obey any command or direction and only does what he likes when he likes.

my friend say that pup is like infant and so he is always to be forgiven no matter what he does. And that the training starts when he becomes adult.

i want to train my pup, but because he's so young (only 5 month old) i think of waiting till he is about 1 year old.

is that the correct approach?
