I thought some of ypou may wish to enjoy our newest 4foot member. http://www.beaglestotherescue.org/mabelanne.cfm We are fostering through Thanksgiving so that another foster parent can shift her pups to go visit family. We can't handle her fosters due to either being anti-cat or too close on...

Looking for help on peeing behavior and older dogs. Mabel Anne is estimated 7-12 and we estimate 10-12 more right. She's used to a doggie door but there is no way to install one here. Any specifics on how to retrain an older dog on this would be helpful. So far, we think we can keep her and...

I did a dumbie! Sierra came complete with a full set of fleas and instead of waiting until I could get her some of the really good flea treatment, I used something I had from days of yore, probably Dakota's youth as it was for a dog Sierra's size. It wasn't the super good stuff but the...

We just adopted a dog about a month ago, and for the first three weeks we had very little trouble having him poop outside. Then last week he all the sudden started pooping inside very frequently. At first I thought he was trying to hold it while he was outside in order to get more time, because he...

Now that Sierra knows sit, stay, and come (among others) the goal is to work those three in particular hard especially off leash under distraction. I've been working with her every day both indoors and out to reinforce those. Treats and/or praise is involved when she does well. If she's off...

Forgot about it being Halloween weekend. We don't do Halloween. It's the one night a year where anybody can hide behind a mask and everyone will open their doors. In our old neighborhood an elderly couple got attacked for that and it was pretty brutal. Our kitchen has big windows on the...

I've seen several attempts to talk to me that were not well received here. End result, they go into hiding. Which attempts??? Please be specific. You didn't answer that question either, which helps to convince me that you're also a pathological liar. Or delusional. Who are these people...

I do believe she is embracing the crate as her "home". I've been putting treats in there and giving her a toy that she only gets when she's in there, trying to make it not be a bad place for her. Last night she snagged Dakota's bone, ran to the crate and tossed it inside. -- Bad Dog...

This is a small world indeed! In going thru your websites, Matt, I found links to Diane Blackman's Dogplay site. I know Diane Blackman from t-shirt forums that we both frequent. She is someone I have a great respect for. She's good people! -- Bad Dog...

Dakota and Sierra have started playing keep away outdoors where one will have an object and run around daring the other to take it. Most of the time they swap off, one has it then the other has it, except for one item which Dakota doesn't ever let Sierra have but they still run around and...

We always teach our dogs to potty in specified areas of the yard rather than anywhere willy nilly. In this house we have wooded areas on either side with big tall trees and a permanent bedding of leaves and pine needles and that's where we want them to go. Sierra always gets pottied on a leash...
