I have a 12 week old Boxer puppy and also 2 other 3 year old boxers. The older boxers are the parents of the puppy. When they are all together they play REALLY rough, especially my female she bats him around like a ball and just looses her mind playing so hard I cannot get her to hear a thing I...

Maybe you could leave her there during the week and on your days off you could take her home with you. That way she would not be alone and you could have some quality time with her. She would also have the other dogs and the large yard and you can have play time with her at the dog park at your...

My 11 week old puppy Urijah only likes toys that make noise, but I hate the squeaky toys. I took a 2 liter pop bottle and put about 20 pieces of dog kibble in it. HOURS of fun chasing and batting it around the house. It make just enough noise to keep him happy but does not drive me crazy. It...

I would think that instead of spending a $100 each on those collars your money would be well spent at the trainers or better yet get a trainer that will come to YOUR HOME where the problem exists and have them work with her there. I hope you can resolve your problem in a humane way so you can...

I know about fish oil but is there something from home I can use?????

I live in Arizona so winters are about 70 degree days so my dogs spend a lot of time outdoors laying by the pool (lol) there favorite place to lay. My male seems to have dry skin, not flaky but his coat seems dull and he is shedding like a banshee. Is there something I can put in his food, maybe...

I read a lot on here about rotating foods. I always thought that I would have to slowly incorporate a new food to my dog over 7-10 days. What is meant by rotating one brand and then maybe a higher quality food the next time? Do you do it every other bag? If not how often? I just...

Well I guess Urijah must have known I was talking about him. It has been almost 5 days and he is going outside consistently. We have not had one pee / poop in the house. I know I am not out of the woods but feel it is a good start. Thanks to all who answered this question and the rest of my...

WOW I have some beef liver in the freezer. I think tomorrow I will put it in my small convection oven, that way I can do it on my patio so the house will not smell. One of the perks of living in Tucson Arizona 75 degrees today. Thanks for the great ideas, I love this forum except sometimes it...

I just signed Urijah ( 9 weeks) up to start his puppy training classes in Jan. 13th after he has had his 2nd shots. I want to take treats for him as they suggest, can anyone tell me how to make a good chicken or liver dog treat or what kind to buy. All the recipes I have seen online have alot...

OMG I live in Tucson Arizona and my dogs are in the house at 7pm ( all 4 of them) I am sorry but these people do not deserve a dog. You need to make that dreaded call and help this poor puppy before it is to late. I am sorry they have put you in the position.

Thank you Thank you, I thought it was ok in my yard so I have started to take him out. My only problem is he will not pee or poop outside. He just sits and looks at me or will walk with me on his leash. I have taken his poop out and he just does not even sniff it. I take him out every hour...

I posted on here about dog food and went to the dog food analysis and found the CANIDAE food to be a 5 star. I feed Purina now. Now I am reading on here that it is NOT good they have changed it - please help I do not know what to do. I know there are a few different kinds - chicken, lamb...

Try adding some cooked rice to her food. I gave my puppy 1/4 cup food with almost 1/4 cup of cooked rice and it really helped him. If it does not go away or gets worse call your vet.
