hello, When I'm away my parents watch my dog. He's medium size, about 30 pounds. They have trouble walking him and he was able to get lose from his collar one time. Now he wears a harness when hes with them and they connect the leash to that, but by facing them and pulling backward he has been...

Hi all Visit went lovely! She's a perfect rescue pup. We got to watch her play with the cat, their other dogs, and generally interact well. She likes to crawl in people laps if they look accepting and spent quite a bit of time wandering back and forth from mine to Charlotte's (16yo...

We have never had a male dog before. This one is new to us, four years old and is the brother of a wonderfully clever, intelligent bitch we had - which started to collapse at two years of age and eventually had to be put down at just three years of age. We adopted it five weeks ago and it has...

My young dog will insist on hunting for carrion when out on walks. I wouldn't mind so much if he just gobbled it down but whilst he's trying to do this, he's also not listening to me at all. Sometimes this is just a minor nuisance but other times it's a major pain in the arse if I have to get...

I was hoping that some of you readers could help me out by testing your dog. To do this you need to follow these simple instructions. 1. Stand directly...

We've taken on a 8 month old rescue dog, a lively border collie. He's settling down well and is a super dog but clearly he'd never lived with a cat before. He's doing his best to rid our house of this "indoor squirrel". Although I'm really a "dog person" I have to acknowledge that the cat has...

It is a correct way of discpline When my dog does something bad I do not hit him I will tell him no in a firm voice and then I will give his favorite toy to chew on

My friend recently adopted a mixed breed dog from a shelter. The dog is very sweet and friendly to everyone except my friend's boyfriend (not really "boyfriend" but a man who is her friend). When this guy comes to her house the dog barks, growls and lunges for him. The dog weighs about 80 lbs....

My mixed-breed, Betsy, is 16 years old. She's right at 25 pounds and looks like a brindle fox. She still goes up and down the stairs (more than she needs to) but her hearing and sight are fading and she's lost a few of her side teeth. (I always cleaned her teeth pretty regularly.) Generally for...

My dogs would find it ideal, but I would have my problmes. -- Bill Clodius los the lost and net the pet to email

At our local off leash park there is a regular attendee who has a pair of huskies. One of them, a male likes to assert himself over other dogs repeatedly to the point of stalking. It doesn't matter if it's a male or female or a pup, he keeps doing it and fortunately for him his dog hasn't...
