Can you change a dog's name?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
If I rescue a dog, can I change it's name? C.M. says that names are basically a human need, not a dog's. I assume I can get a dog accustomed to a new name.

I just finished grooming (or mostly grooming) my three pound poodle. How do you guys handle a dog that small?! There's no place to hold on to and this one is an acrobat. Forget the noose. She jumped onto my shoulder and I had to drop the clippers (or her so I opted for the clippers). Most of...

Posted to: Training & Behavior
Hi there, I am new to this forum and have our first human baby on the way in March. What can we do to prepare our fur baby for her arrival? We know to let her smell all the baby's new things and even the blanket that my DH can bring home early from the hospital. Anything else you can think of?
