I'm not sure what to make of this and was hoping someone else has run into this problem and will have some advice :( We introduced our new girl into the family about 10 months ago (we have a 4 year old male) and they have been getting along well so far, he will grab her by the scruff and pull...

The vaccinations are what are worrying me...my vet feels that as long as she's had her second immunization and the first round of kennel cough vaccine she should be fine....but I don't always trust what vets say for some reason :confused: We are trying to find a friend who will take her for...

We have to make an impromptu trip in a few weeks and we cannot take our kids with us. Our oldest is 3 and has stayed at this kennel a number of times when we've gone away and he absolutely loves it :) We recently added a new addition to our family and at the time of our trip (4 days) she will...

Thank you!! We didn't think we'd have an issue, but of course in our excitement of preparing for our girl to join our family we've been stressing over EVERYTHING :) We have been really lucky so far with Bruce, he was so easy to crate train that the thought of crate training another gets...

Our boy is about 70 pounds and will turn 1 this October we are starting to wonder if he's ever going to stop; he's very muscular and lean. When he runs around the back yard he resembles a very small horse.

We have 6' fences with a decorative top but this has been a concern of ours as well. Our neighbours boxer used to regularily jump their 6' fence to see what was going on in the driveway - Bruce jumps up but hasn't figured out the forward momentum thing :) and I hope he never does!! He easily...

Our Bruce has started to do this as well; it's totally his way of getting attention even though I think he gets TOO much attention if that is even possible for a boxer! I've started the ignoring and time outs which seem to be working wonders for this absolutely annoying behaviour. Now if only...
