i would change his age, so i can have him longer. i got him when he was 8, so to have him from the beginning of his life would be wonderful.

My older dog I would make less neurotic. I don't really think she was abused by her previous owners, but she certainly wasn't socialized. She spaces out in strange situations and doesn't pay any attention to me at all...she just stresses and focuses on leaving (let me tell you, that makes Rally Obedience trials very trying for me...once I actually left the ring in tears because I just couldn't for the life of me get her to pay attention to me). She's getting better, but every now and then she has her episodes where she cries like I'm beating her if I look at her sideways or touch her feet or stop suddenly and she runs into me.
My younger one, I'd take away his allergies. He's been on antibiotics once this summer and needs to go back on them again now. His face has looked horrible since late July (all red and irritated and scabby from him scratching it) and the insides of his front legs are red and thin-furred from him chewing them. Antihistamines don't seem to do a thing for the itching (although they do keep his eyes from getting all green and boogery) and the only thing that seems to help even a little is weekly baths. Even the fish oil/vitamin E hasn't been helping much this year. I might also change his obsession with chasing rabbits rather than going potty every time we go outside...although with him being just shy of 2 I suspect this is largely age related and will eventually get better.

Maddie is too easily frightened. I think she would be more comfortable on outings if she were not worried about things. She still has a great time, but other dogs and certain people seem to scare her, despite the extensive socialization we have done. She also becomes nervous at first in unfamiliar places and situations (after a few minutes she will be fine, though).
Gracie is only a puppy, so it's hard to tell right now how she will turn out. Right now...I with she were already house trained! But I guess it's just too early for that, and I'll have to wait!

Well, I also wish mine wasn't abused by a previous owner. Also, maybe that she was more willing to accept another dog in the house. I tried getting another dog, and she just wouldn't tolerate the other dog at all.

I wish that the previous owner had not broke my dogs pelvis and just let it heal crooked. My 2nd that she didn't have alergies to everything and even with meds shes itchy. My third that she wasn't so smart , that gets her in trouble.

I love my dog. If I could start over, I'd not let her on the furniture. She gets up on the couch with me. I should say on me. I don't think it's fair now to stop her because she knows nothing else. It would be nice to be able to sit on the couch and not have her always up in my face. I do know she loves me though and that's worth it!

That they werent barking all the time. And that my younger one wasnt a child-biter. shes good with older kids, but has a habit of nipping at younger ones. and anyone that comes at my too quickly if shes near me or if she feels they are approaching in an aggressive way. I think she was abused before.

I would change the color of one of my dogs. I wish one of my females would have been a black and tan female.
I really like black and tan pomeranians with really rich rust markings..
DP that is a good one I want my dogs to live forever too.

I would want my dogs to not have separation anxiety like they do! They HATE being left alone, even if I just go to the mailbox real quick, when I walk back inside they act like I was gone for days! lol!
