Neuter estimation cost from vet - does this look right?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
I know that the cost of neutering varies (sometimes greatly) depending on the vet. We live on the edge of an affulent area and the vet closest to our home serves a pretty white collar community. They're very nice, and our 12wk and 16wk vaccines have been reasonably priced. They gave us a neuter estimation...

How can I socialize my dog with cats?
Posted to: Training & Behavior
My dog wants to chase cats. I've gotten him to the point where I can get him to "leave" a cat when he's on leash, so at least he's not pulling and whining anymore (squirrels, unfortunately, are another story). But will my dog ever be ok with cats? Is there anything that I can do...

Has vet stumped
Posted to: Health & Grooming
In early fall, when I stayed for her grooming, I noticed my 10 yo rough collie Billie had a patch on her ear (back of the ear, in the middle) that was devoid of hair. She has so much fur I never noticed it until I saw her wet from her bath. It got a little larger but does not seem to bother her in any...

Do dogs just know that you are proud of them?
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I was just watching an episode of C.Millan's show; it was about two miniature pins being generally obnoxious and aggressive towards people and dogs... The dogs' owner asked Millan: if you are not telling them or showing them that they've been good, how would they know they did good? He...

Posted to: Training & Behavior
OK, I guess the thread title is only half true. I ruined Blitz's night. I got a clicker, which I'd been dying to try since all of you are pushing clicker training. [ ] Sooooo, I tried "charging" the clicker with both dogs, separately. BLITZ Blitz, my drivey, doggy class loving,...

Why does he do this?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Today I took Bevo to play at the dog park. We were there for a little over 2 hours, and he had his hackles up the entire time. He showed no aggression towards any of his playmates, he bowed to invite play, he played fetch with about 15 other dogs without incident, but his hackles up throughout the visit...
