So I have a 6 mo old female pit and she wont listen..she wont understand no..if i yell at her no then she just kinda looks at me and continues doing whatever it is that she is doing..and if i swat her on the butt or on the nose she doesnt even seem to react and i dont want to swat her any harders...i just want her to be and obediant dog and listen to me because i kno the way pits can lash out when they get older and i dont want that.. i show her so much love and i want her to be a loving dog.. she sleeps with me and has never shown any signs of turning against me or even nippin at me..i dont have the money for school or nething that like right now..cuz i am in college myself so i was wondering if there is nething that i could do to make her listen because she is just so da*n stubborn..we also have too other small dogs that she plays with and she is NEVER with out attention so how can i make her listen?

thank you

For example, the American Kennel Club lists "hounds" in a separate category. I know that before the English language developed in England, all canines were called "hounds" and then "dog" was used later.

my yorkie puppy is about 4 months old, i was wondering how i can teach him tricks, starting with 'hand' and 'stay' etc. we taught him to sit very quickly, but nowadays, he doesnt really focus on us that much and doesnt really listen as well. what's the best way to get him to focus and how do we teach him individual tricks?

Okay, the question is a little more complex than it sounds. Our family (well, my 12 year old daughter) is looking into buying a dog. She has proved she resonsible and we already own one so there is no problem there. But does anyone know any dog breeds (besides Golden retriver, Portugese Water dog, Labrador, etc etc etc.) That are friendly, good with kids, don't shd to much, Itelligent, and love the water and travel, like, can handle being on a sail boat. We looked into a Miniture Australian Sheperd, but I don't know if they like water. Thats the big thing. Anyway, we live on a an island, so plenty of fresh and space, but there is no fence around our yard, even though it's quite big. So a dog that is, well, all of the above. I know I'm asking for a bit of a miracle here, please don't say poodle btw, and, thanks so much for reading this all the way to the bottom

i am so shocked!! but i think i need to start from the beginning
we have a mongrel and a few other dogs.
this mongrel is the choice of my fiance. he is very shy with men, will not come to my fiance, trusts me, won't eat when my fiance is there and pees himself when my fiance gets too close when he feels unsure.
another thing is the dog is very possessive aggressive. meaning food, space and toys.
yesterday it went all crazy. the mongrel attacked my poodle and then my fiance grabbed the mongrel by the scruff of the neck (he is now 8 months old) picked him about 40cm off the floor and threw him about 1 m. the dog landed funny and he is limping a little now.
i had a talk with my fiance & he says he is sorry but sorry is not enough!!!!! i think he should give up the dog as he has done too much damage & the dog is just stressed now!
but he doesn't want to!! i don't get it! how can i convince him?!

We are currently feeding her pedigree puppy dry food, we just looked at the ingredients, not knowing to in the first place because it says BALANCED, and the first ingredient is a corn filler! We mix in a little wet food to coat the dry because she likes that alot more. She will not touch the dry food if we don't do this! She has been itching alot too, but she does not have fleas! What can we feed her to calm our worries and know that she is getting the best nutrition we can afford?

It is the shape of a tulip that goes around the neck.

I also need to know if these collars are uncomfortable or heavy? I have a husky who has a SERIOUS fence jumping behaviour. We tried building fence after fence but it's not working. The real built in fence is the only one that can keep him in but at the moment his head can fit through it. So I'm planning on having a collar put on him to restrain him.

My boyfriend is in the process of buying a puppy, and has good lines on three breeders near us. We have been to two of the three kennels in person and talked to the breeders and met there dogs already. These two are asking that applicants send in veterinarian references as well as personal references. What should he be asking the vet to include and what do breeders want to know in order for them to see you are good dog owners (I don't want to leave anything out)? All of these breeders have waiting lists and only planned breedings, not pregnant dogs or puppies so we have the time to make sure we get this right :) What do breeders want to hear from potential owners in these letter, and is there a format to follow? We are looking at American Bulldog breeders if it makes any difference.

Neither of us have ever bought a dog from a breeder before, so any suggestions of things we need in our vet letter or any other tips on things we don't want to miss including in his personal reference

Currently I have a Pug/Beagle (Puggle) hes 1 and 2 cats. I tried the furminator and it works on the cats but not so much the dog... and i think its hurting the cat when I use it.
Anyone used theZoom Groom? If so how does it work and do you like it.
If you have used both the Zoom and the Furminator which do you prefer and why?
THANKS!!
