Hairless breeds
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Houndlove's post (and Gina's link) got me curious about hairless dogs. They are so neat looking, and probably cool to pet (and smooch). Sometimes I see a dog, and, based solely on looks , think to myself, "I want one of those!" [sm=biggrin.gif] Salukis, for example. However, right now...

Loose dogs *I know I've made a thread like this before*
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Ok, I don't currently have Ella in training course of any kind, but I am REALLY, REALLY thinking about it. Mainly for socialization more than anything else. Since she is part pit bull, I have no idea what kind or if any dog aggression exists with her. Anyway, I'm going to start carrying a stick...

Tummy Growling? HELP
Posted to: Health & Grooming

(He did beg for my breakfast, dang dog) Last night I hand-fed his dinner. He can't be hungry, his breakfast...

Aggression linked to being territorial
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I don't have a clue as to how to attack this problem with Winnie. She is super-territorial, but in a strange way. For example, if we're out in the backyard and our landlord or the tenants behind us come through, she become very aggressive: hackles go up, barking, snarling, even snapping at...

This issue came up in a thread about barking, but since it was off-topic and I wanted more advice, I'm starting a new thread... My dog seems to have an obssesion with sticks... she picks them up whenever we're outside playing or walking. Sometimes she'll just play with a stick, but a lot...
