It's gotten worse! OK, guys, I'm at the end of my rope here and I'm desperate for help. Brando has not improved any. He's actually gotten worse. Last night in the middle of the night he ate one of my shoes, and then today I got home from work and he ate ANOTHER one of my shoes from a...

My vet said it was normal; that there is a type of mucus that covers the penis, and when the dog gets "excited"foolicon the smegma will remain at the tip of the sheath when the penis goes back where it came from. But hey, who knows?

Hi! I'm no expert, but I posted to someone about peanut butter. If Logan ever gets to where he'll eat, he just doesn't want to get started, maybe you could try putting a small glop of peanut butter just below the surface of the food. Every once in awhile, Brando gets a little treat of peanut...

Well, although it's a bit messy, Brando's favorite thing in the whole word is peanut butter! It's not exactly a convenient treat, but it's a great way to make a pill go down easily!

Great! Thanks! Can't wait to try them!

Brando's song has to be "Born to be Wild" becasue the way he zips around the backyard I'm thoroughly convinced he's not all angel! But I love him...:)

The best thing you can do for both you and your pup is training. We started Brando from day one with basic commands. He has to sit for his dinner bowl, sit to have his leash put on or taken off, etc. You may want to keep a leash on your pup and when the jumping begins, give a firm tug and say...

good tips! I really like the rolled up newspaper over Mommy's/Daddy's head and chasitizing thyself! Anyway, you may want to try some of the various products on the market that eliminate odors from the areas your dog has soiled in the past. Nature's Miracle has worked for us. This helps to...

Brando did this once about a month ago. My husband let him jump in the tub and drink straight from the spigot for like 2 minutes straight around 8 PM. Well, needless to say, that wasn't too bright. About two hours later, all that water had to go somewhere, so right on my bed it went. I'm...

Well, Brando and I kinda learned the hard way that he can swim, but he doesn't care for the water. I was out water skiing with a friend one day in the sound, and Brando decided to jump in after me (he was only 4 months old at the time) while I was goofing around. Well, he launched right off...

Brando does the same thing Brutus does (Tina 29) and I do the same thing for Brando. I let him suck on the vacuum hose extension, and his tongue will make that weird sucking noise and his jowls get all caught in it and he just has the best time! Brando barks at the vacuum and will not leave me...

Brando will dig if he is out unsupervised for any amount of time. I have tried several things to keep him from digging, especially near the fence line. Always seems to be the first place to go, doesn't it? Anyway, you may try burying some of your Boxer's fecal matter where he has been...

Brando and I play "rough" frequntly. I put my hands up in mock fists, and we'll play. He bites my hands and arms as well, but he knows if I say "Be nice" that means to stop playing all together, and "Settle down" or "Easy" means he's being too rough with me. He's 7 months, and almost 70...

I completely understand. I have a posting called "Destructive Is Putting it Nicely" about my 7 month old Brando. They just go through this phase, I guess. He was crate trained from the start and we were so happy when we could finally have him totally housebroked and trust him. Then, about a...

All of you guys have been great helping me out with this! I've never had a dog before, and I'm trying to do the right thing by him. So many people I know have dogs that simply aren't well behaved, and they're no fun to be around. I kept Brando in his crate today while I was at work, then came...
