Springer Spaniel Puppy drinks A LOT of water
Posted to: Training & Behavior
My puppy (13 weeks old) cannot turn down water. I fill a bowl, he drinks it. He tries to climb in the bathtub even when there's no water in it because he's seen water in it. He's obsessed with water. When he was younger my parents (who bred him) had a kiddie pool for the puppies and they...

Doggie Day Care & Working Against My Training
Posted to: Training & Behavior
I'll try to make this as short as possible but the more I think of this the more mad I get. Bear with me here. The woman who owns the doggie daycare where I volunteer has become a CM follower. I don't believe in his methods & do NOT want this thread to turn into a CM fest. Please respect...

raw feeders and poop: Question about not pooping
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
So, we all know that dogs on raw food tend to poop less. But Ella will sometimes go as long as 2 days before she poops. She doesn't act in pain, but I get concerned so I either fast her a little bit or I feed her kibble. Sure enough, when I feed her the kibble she'll then poop. It's ALL...

Cat Pooped on Bed!!!!
Posted to: News & Entertainment
My ~8 or 9 year old cat pooped on our bed yesterday. I'm not sure what to do about it. She's a siamese who basically lives off the ground out of reach or our dog Lucy. They don't get along, mainly because Karma (the cat) is too skiddish to properly do a meet and greet. Karma has always had...
