I could really use some advice here, because I am running out of ideas. Appologies, that this is so long, but I'd rather give all the info up front... I now have 2 dogs, both boxer mixes. I've had my boy dog, Boss, since he was 4 weeks old and it took only 2 weeks to house train him and...

Does anyone know if it is a good or bad idea to mix some bacon with dry food that my puppy eats. We never let him have any people food, but he seems crazy for bacon and is getting bored with kibble for breakfast so we thought of how to spruce it up. Can someone advise on whether it is bad for...

We discouraged it by making the 'Shhhhh' sound whenever he growled. He seemed to naturally understand that sound as a que to calm down, so he connected the dots. If that didn't help we would stop playing with him. After a few weeks the growling stopped. Once in a while though (every couple...

Cami, your original post describes exactly what Boss does. He started growling when he was about 2.5-3 months old during playing of tug of war. But we think that was because one of our friends taught him to do that smashicon . We quickly discouraged that and he's never done that since during...

Thank you all for your helpful tips. Its been a little over a week since he's had his replacement bed, and its still together! This time though I wrapped it in sheets and put double cover (from the bottom and the top), so he can't get to the foam. He really seems to like it and sleeps on it...

I bought a new bed for my 5 1/2 month old puppy and he seemed to like it a lot. Before then he used to sleep on two pillows that I sewed together for him, but they were getting too small. He lay on the new bed right a way and slept on it for two nights. Yet the first time he was in the house...

Hi, don't know if its normal, and I am not complaining, but my puppy boxer (just under 4 months old) only barks once in a blue moon when he gets very scared or in his sleep. In fact this has only happened about 4-5 times since we got him 3 months ago. Is that normal puppy behaviour? Will he...

Thanks. I figured it out right after I posted the message. Doesn't it always work that way? :eek:

I finally posted the pictures in the gallery, just search by my user name. I think they need to be approved first, so as soon as that occurs... There are 4 pictures that give a pretty good idea of what he looks like. We took him to the vet this weekend, but she wasn't helpful. Said that...

He knows this camera thing is up to no good, no matter how much we try to distract him!

And won't leg go, because it oh so sad!

Wondering why I am taking his picture with such an annoying flash.

I will work on the pictures this weekend. The weird thing is that the lady told me that the rotweiller was brown, and there aren't any brown rotweillers that I've ever seen! She's just lying to me:mad: . Hopefully the vet will have more ideas. Thanks for your help!

Yes, he was at the Vet when he was 6 weeks old, but at the time I thought he was either a pure boxer or a german shepherd. The vet said he didn't see any shepherd there, so I assumed he was a pure boxer. Today is when I heard the rottweiler story... We have another visit to the vet in the...
