What's the easiest way to get the recall working properly? Zelda does good indoors and in her fenced in area when I call her, but when she's out playing with her "friends", she naturally won't listen. She listened really well a couple months ago, now she won't listen. I find she'll listen to...

Ok, I'll stop talking then.

It's for less than an hour. And otherwise she's fine being loose in my apartment.

I realize what I said is confusing too, lol sorry. At first I was typing it should have its shots..then I was thinking because of an illness. So out of curiousity...what does the dmange do? Is it permanent? I was confused about this part.

I was wondering why you named your puppy "Neko?" I got a cat named Neko...it means "Cat" in Japanese :P

Omg, when I had my Shar Pei dog that I found another home from, he used to EAT my bras and the crotches out of my undies. It was a male, don't know if that made a difference...but he's another story, lol. As for the bugs...Zelda eats EVERY bug she can get her mouth on. I think it's funny and I...

This thread seems dead but it was an interesting read. One thing you guys failed to mention concerning getting another dog is this: When my 4.5 month old puppy is with one of her playmates, they're both loose. Sometimes the other dog will wander far and my puppy will follow. Basically I call it...

My puppy is approaching 5 months and has yet to be spayed. I've found that she's started barking at passerbys and other dogs barking outside now and she used to be quiet as can be. I'm assuming it's the approaching puberty thing.

Male dominence over other males? I've been told that female pups do better with male humans and vice versa. Like my female puppy LOVES men when they're around more than me :( But I haven't had to deal with a male pup at the age as yours is.

When my puppy would chew on my hands or nip at toes, etc. I looked up information on it. What did work is when they touch you (not even completely bite you) with their teeth say OUCH! really loud. They get startled and stop what they're doing. I did that with Zelda and it's seemed to work. Also...

I believe she's doing okay with housebreaking, I was just curious to how long it would take. I'm not crate training her at all. I've found that she won't have accidents when I'm gone, which is weird to me, but she will when I'm home at times. If I'm leaving for a short period of time and the...

This is my first puppy and I'm curious...how long does it take for the housetraining anyway? Is it a year? I've read some pups pick it up in like a month but that makes no sense to me. You can't potty train a child in a month. Zelda whines and barks sometimes and I bring her out and she goes #2...

Thanks for all the compliments! Zelda is a spoiled puppy since I don't have children. I'm curious to how big she's going to get since she's a mix. Don't know which features she'll take on more, the boxer or american bulldog side. She does box tho :)

I have some videos of zelda :D YouTube - Zelda, Kuro, and Blade YouTube - Zelda sleeping YouTube - Zelda and the Grasshopper

I kiss her face all the time. I just make sure she hasn't been into anything gross before I do so lol
