Hey gang. I've got a 5 month old boxer. My wife has always wanted a running dog and our dog Artie doesn't seem to jog with her. He tends to sit after 4-5 minutes of very very slow jogging. Sometimes will just stop completely. Are boxers good running dogs? Also, we took Artie to the...

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...

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...

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...

Artie Ross: Born August 6, 2005

Hey everyone! Artie is doing great in the crate. Goes to the bathroom outside (still a few accidents in the house). He's a wonderful dog. My wife and I would like him to sleep with us in our bed sometimes. Is it ok to have your 15 week old puppy cuddle with you? I did it last night and...

begining I'm not "begging" that's a typo. I'm begining to teach down. just clarification

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...

Hey everyone! I posted something on the Forums and recieved a reply that told me I had to do an introduction due to the rules. Oh, how I love rules... Sorry about not introducing myself and my family. My wife and I just got a boxer and his name is Artie. He is 15 weeks old and we are...

Hey everyone! My wife and I have our first dog together named Artie. He is wonderful! We're going on our 3rd week with him and he is 15 weeks old. He doesn't potty in his crate and immediately when we take him out he potties. Now, when we get the sense he is going to potty in the house we...
