    Running dog....Swimming dog?

    He eats poop!

    Not his poop Thanks for all of your replies. The poop Artie is eating isn't his. My neighbor has 4 outside cats that love my yard and Artie seems to be eating their poop. The Vet said that it might be the food that the cats eat. Sometimes they eat food with fish flavor and so forth...

    He eats poop!

    Hey everyone. Ok...I hear that it's normal for dogs to munch on a little poop every now and then, but Artie looks forward to it. When we let him out he runs out and eats poop. Today someone said that their dog used to eat poop. They said that when their dog did, they "swatted" it's butt...

    Parents gone all day

    I agree with Molly I do agree with Molly. I'd go ahead and get the BIG metal crate that is able to fold up when you travel. This crate does have a divider that you can make the space bigger as Laila progressively grows. For now, use a box and scoot it to the back of the crate to take up...

    How many treats?

    Hi everyone! Artie is just now starting to sit and I'm begging to teach him down. I usually give a treat to him after everytime he gets it. When do I stop the treats? I have a lot of time of the next three days and I know I shouldn't give him treats everytime. What do you recommend...

    When can I not worry about watching him 100%
