He pulls horribly when we get out of the car when I am taking him to daycare. I also took him in a local pet store yesterday and he was pulling...

hose for bathing
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Has anyone used the hose sold on the dog.com site or one like it that attaches to your sink or outside faucet? I have a small dog and don't want it to be too strong. Also, does it have an on and off or does the water run continually? Thanks. Maddysmom

Posted to: Training & Behavior
Well its happened. Tootsie, my Pembroke Welsh Corgi, who is a little over 2 1/2, has really come into her herding behavior. I would let the dogs out to do their thing and Tootsie will lay flat on the ground with her butt moving and as soon as Sammy (min. pin.) starts to come towards the door, she takes...

New cat

I am adopting this cat on Saturday. She's 1.5 years old. Her name is Lily. This isn't a great picture, but it's what the owner sent me. I hope someone adopts the other cat she has. I couldn't because I already have 2 puppies and another cat.

Dog Showing
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Does anybody here show their dogs? I've always had a thing for conformation and I love chatting with show people and learning the tricks of the trade [ ] I currently don't own a show dog but I've been under a mentor for a few years now. Dog show people speak (bark) up!

Posted to: Choosing A Dog
If you had unlimited time, money, and space - what breed or breeds would you like to share your life with? My son Joey has announced he wants a toy poodle. It would be the perfect dog for him.

Lupomorphizing
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Lupomorphizing - I didn't make the word up. Admittedly, I borrowed it from Ian Dunbar. But, I thought it might make for some lively discussion.
