Fighting??
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Just today I've had a little problem with my dog Cassidy. She's always been great, obedient, and submissive ( though sometimes dominant toward other dogs, it depends on the dog, really) to us. So anyway, today she was sitting in the van, we were getting out, and it seemed that she 'attacked'...

What is going ON in this state??
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Lordy! The temp is 104 (at noon) and the humidity is 65% - usually it's more like 10 to 15%. I just saw on the news a major thunderstorm w/high winds ripping through LA. It was pouring! They sent their little ball of "monsoon moisture" up our way - maybe they'll send up the rain. We...

constantly wants belly rubbed
Posted to: Training & Behavior
My year-old chi, Winnie, has becoming really annoying about this. If my husband or I invite her to sit on the couch, she jumps up and flops over to have her belly rubbed. And if we don't rub it, she whines and noses at us. If I invite her to sit on my lap, she wants to tuck herself back into...

Update on Max!!

I've got a dog that needs to be transported from Georgia to Maine and need to know how much time to allow for drivers to sign up. Would two weeks be enough or should I set the date a month from now? Any suggestions welcome.

how cute is she?!?

I finally made Zoe a dress/harness so it is useful, not just cute! This has the d-ring in the front like an easywalk harness and it works really well. I liked the easywalk harness but it rubbed Zoe so now I don't have to worry about that! Soon she will have a bandanna to match the dress! In...

Chewing my daugter's stuff
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I need some help. Both my dogs are now a year old. The bigger one, Hershey, when he was a little pup used to steal sneakers, slippers, and flip flops. But he doesn't do it any more. Both pups are good except for the fact that Hershey is always stealing my 6 year old daughters Barbies and their clothes...
