Reply It was a full blown attack. He was biting and snarling and tangling with the mastiff. I can't blame the other dogs reaction, he was just laying in the drive way (on leash) while I was chatting. He also does have friends, about 8 that he plays with regularly. He is out of control when he...

Mack is a 9 month old male that is not neutered, he is supposed to have that done while we are on vacation in August. He just attacked my neighbors mastiff after he let himself out of the house. She and I were talking outside of his view and boom out the door he came and attacked this big fellow...

A great treat you could give your dog is an ice cube! Our neighbor has a wheaton terrier with IBS and it cannot have treats so , they give him ice. We started this with our dogs and they come flying when they hear the ice maker! Plus, it ia an inexpensive treat. Macks Mom

I believe the idea is to wiggle the bell (placed on the door knob by a string, long enough for the dog to hit)as you bring the dog out during housebreaking, then once the dog is trained it remembers to ring the bell when he/she needs to go out. I am going...

Thanks everyone, I hope to get Macks photo up today!

I have brought him on out on a leash and always praise him for his great behavior while by his side. It is pretty cold here currently... could he get sick? Like I had mentioned, he has the concept, just the wrong door. Also, he wakes me up in the middle of the night so he will not go in the...

I have our first boxer puppy, Mack and he is 11 wks old. I live in Illinois and it is pretty cold here lately so housebreaking is proving tricky. My Mack has been in the garage because he shakes so fiercly outside (even w/ his sweater) that all he does is try to get back in the house instead of...
