Leash, collar, tieout questions
This week we added a 7 1/2 week golden retriever to our family. He hasn't worn a collar and when I place one on him he scratches at it. He seems to be getting somewhat use to it.

attack was the final straw - may need to give him up
I've posted on here before, but here's the awful situation as briefly as possible: Eight months ago my wife and I adopted a rescued JRT/Beagle mix. We think he is about 4 years old. Our understanding is that he came out of an abusive situation. He is very sweet and loving and extremely...

digging
does anyone have any recommendations to deter my 5 month old from digging? he is digging holes in the yard and then re-digging where we have put top soil and seed. He is not burying anything, just digging for the sake of digging it seems! Any behavior mod you can think of? Any thing I can put on/in the...
