Should I cover the poop with dirt or leave it exposed?

Tyson continuously goes to dig at the SAME hole at my sisters house. Its gotten as deep as 2-3 feet. I fill it back up....and the next time I bring him over, he goes right back to it. I've scolded him numerous times, even once after i caught him in the act. I dont think it will deter him in...

When I'm either at my girlfriends or my sisters house I keep Tyson in the garage with his toys and bed. They don't like him in the house (he can be a pain sometimes). I know its just because he loves being around people but I still have to respect other people's wishes. While he is fully...

Thats an issue for another forum....but it is very difficult. Being with someone who is not a dog lover is very confusing...they just don't "get it". They think animals in general are dirty, nasty creatures that have no place inside of a home. Tyson is not going anywhere thats for sure. In...

Yes I will be in the basement from the time i get home from work till the time i go to bed....and i may even sleep down there occasionally...LOL. Anytime we talk about it just ends up in an argument. I'm hoping with time she'll break down, or else it's gonna become a pretty divided household.

My girlfriend and I have talked about moving in together in the next few months. She is not a dog lover at all! In fact she has already said that Tyson will not be allowed in the main part of the house....only in the basement. My question is, how fit are Boxers to deal with outside...

Well I was told the mother developed a breast infection, which then got into the milk that the pups were drinking. So I don't think its any kind of STD....but I will definitely find out more specifics and hope that nothing was transmitted to Tyson. Also, this was the first time Tyson was a...

I used my male as a stud a couple months ago. The female had 7 pups a week ago. Sadly, due to an infection that the mother developed, 4 of the pups died, and the remaining 3 are not looking good. Is it wrong to still expect my stud fee? I'm torn. Help!

I actually video taped Tyson last night when I left for about 2 hours. I only got 5 minutes worth of footage but it was really sad. As soon as I locked the door the whining started. He was biting the cage and looked like he was trying to rip it down. The cries were terrible....I can only...

Do dogs really do things out of spite....or is it really just the anxiety kicking in? My old roomate one day said that AS SOON as i closed the door to leace, Tyson ran to his crate and peed in it. He obviously didnt HAVE to go because he went outside a few minutes earlier, but I think he did...

Thanks for all the recommendations. I check with a dog trainer at Petsmart and she also gave me some tips. I think the medicinal route may be too costly since a vet would require getting bloodwork done before prescribing something. But I bought the Kong and stuffed peanut butter, cheese and...

I am getting fed up with my 10 month old Tyson. I have had him since he was 8 weeks old and I work a 9-5 Monday thru Friday. You would think that by now he would be used to me leaving him alone in the house....but this is not the case. It's like every time I leave, its the first time all over...
