I think I'm gonna try the poop thing, but one question. Do you not fill the hole? you just leave it put poop in it, and then what? i kinda want to fill the hole's back up, cus they are into my tree's roots.

So I have a 50yr old pine tree in my backyard, and Duke has decided to dig at the roots, and pull at them. I'm not sure what to do. I have another dog so he never goes outside by himself, I am out there with him most of the time, and he is never out their for too long. But he just goes...

Thanks all for your post's. I guess I kept my cool, cus I felt partly to blame. I should have protected Duke, and had his leash, and not let my 2yr old boy lead him around. I live in a very small town, and all my neighbors are ranchers so Duke can run all around greeting them. But my mom...

Duke listen really well to me when we are in the house or in our yard. He is even good when we are out on our own, but the minute another dog comes around he becomes stupid. All he wants to do is play with the dog, and he wont even pay attention to me. I've tried having him on his leash and...

I just don't get why people think boxers are mean. Duke is only 6mths old, but he is really thick and big for his age. But he is so sweet, and wouldn't hurt anyone. But this isnt the first time someone has thought he might be mean. At petsmart a little boy reached out to pet Duke, and the...

I'm really mad at my Mom's neighbors. They know Duke is only a puppy, and I've told them several times that he is very nice, and wouldn't hurt a fly. But the other day we are all out side, and their little barky poodle is chained up out front barking at us. My son lets go of Duke's chain, and...

I think my 5mth old boxer Duke just showed some possession guarding today, and I need some advice to put a stop to this. Ok so today I gave him a chew bone one that he has never had before. He was chewing on it for awhile, and I thought he needed to go outside so I called him to come...

Not sure what brand it is, cus my dh tried it out, and put all the info in the trash. But it is black and has some metal loops so maybe its the Lupi thing I don't know. He doesnt pull as bad with it, but if he wants to he can pull with it. I think I might try a headharness.

So I sent my husband to get a harness for my 5mth old dog Duke, and he brought home a harness that is suppose to help with dogs that pull. I'm wondering if anyone has used it, and if it can be harmfull for my boy. Anyways it goes on like anyother harness but it doesnt latch on, you slip it...

Thank you all so much for your replies. You have all given me a lot of great ideas, and looks like I'm going to have a lot of work ahead of me. I think I'm going to try first the stoping when ever he starts to pull. I might also run him for a little while before I try to train him, thinking...

So my boy Duke is 13wks old, and he is a big boy 27pds, and man is he strong. He doesnt ming the leash, but he pulls the whole time we are walking. I keep the leash very tight make him sit, and then we start to walk, but he almost pulls my darn hand off. He chokes himslef the whole time so we...

So I have had Duke for 2weeks, and he is 9wks old. He is just a big hunk of love. He is so sweet and laid back. He is just a huge teddy bear that just wants to be held all day. He does play, but all I have to do is tell him no if he gets to rough with my son or the other dog and he stops...

So the guy that lives next door to me, saw that I got a new dog and came over with a sample of this pet food that he sells. It's called provi pet Has anyone heard of it? And if you have is it an ok dog food?

Thanks so much for the replies. I was afraid I was going to have to drive 90miles to the nearest town to find a good dog food, but I guess not now. Thanks again....
