Thanks

I need help with new puppy

Who's Against Pitbulls

pitbull_maniac — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 09:34:44 GMT

I was just wondering who's against pitbulls? I have two 9 month old pitbulls(brother & sister). Their names are Spot & Claudette. I've seen people in the internet opposing pitbulls and the other bully breeds. To admit the truth, when I was younger I USED TO BE AFRAID. That was because of all the publicity. One day after a volleyball game, my family decided to visit Petsmart and Petco because I love dogs. They wanted to make it up to me because of giving up my Irish Setter which by the way came from a breeder which was a scam. Horrible behavior, too expensive for too much money ($1,500). As I was walking in the store in Petco, I saw two little cute yellow labs (8 weeks). I didn't notice they were already adopted. So we moved onto Petsmart which was like 5 minutes away. I saw 2 black and white pitbulls. The volunteers of the adoption program said they had been abandoned by their owner(they were unwanted because there were "too many puppies to take care of". The girl was shy and timid. She would run away from everyone when they let her out of the cage. Soon after, I saw myself holding her in my arms. We had this trust or bond with eachother. My little sister took the brother. They are the sweetest dogs. Claudette, the one who used to be timid is now all playful, running to recieve people, and even when i'm sitting down, she rests her head up against my lap. They're like any other dog. One of the best be honest. Chihuahuas and the little toy dogs, forget them! When will they be useful in an emergency?Pitbulls will do anything for their family. And that is why I am against people who waste their time posting topics in the internet just talking about violence. That was atleast 150 years ago! Don't you think they've adapted to a loving attitude? Look at Bull Mastiffs they were used for the Romans with the soldiers. Do they just run to you and start abusing you. These are the owners. And that is why the breeders or shelters ask you, "Will you be responsible?" If not, walk away, because your just putting a bad reputation for this breed. They are innocent.

Puppy Litter Box

elsam57 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:27:53 GMT

I have seen puppy litter boxes or something like fake grass for indoor potty training.

My puppy is approx 8 weeks old and needs to go out alot. I am getting sick and its been raining here all day long.

If anyone can recommend something for this purpose I would appreciate it. Also, if I train her on this, will she still go out. I only want to use for emergencies.

Thanks for help

How to train her to ASK to go out?

stellasmama — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 06:58:55 GMT

Our little Stella is doing really well with her training....we're only having 1 issue....she doesn't ASK to go out to do her business.

We take her in and out the same door....when she goes out to do the business it's roughly around the same times each day....she's doing great with no accidents in the house.

We just have no idea if she HAS to go out. She won't go to the door on her own...or bark...nothing.

suggestions????

Puppy likes to eat her poop

eagle3 — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 07:50:24 GMT

Hi there,

We have a 12 week golden who has developed the habit of eating her feces after doing her business. I would love to hear from anyone that HAS actually has this problem with their pup and managed to resolve it. She will go in the backyard whilst off leash and she will quickly turn around and consume it. I have tried the bitter apple spray, which helps if I am hovering over her and manage to saturate it before she gets to it. However, occasionally she beats me to the punch!

Has anyone tried the additives that you put in her food to deter dogs away from this behavoir and if so, was it successful?

Thanks,

eagle3

MY Golden puppy is eating her poop..

eagle3 — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 05:50:52 GMT

Thanks..

New Puppy Coming soon - can you help a clueless catlover??

ScoutsMommy — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:04:45 GMT

Hi,

I have always had cats, and my 20 yo baby recently died. My husband has always wanted a dog, so new we are getting a puppy. I have no idea what to do with him. He will be 14 weeks old when we get him. I've been reading books and talking to trainers and petco and petsmart, but everyone seems to have a different opinion. He is a golden lab, and I will be crate training him. I could really use some advice on toilet training and everything else...(from the second he walks in our door)

I'm clueless, but want to be the best puppy mom I can be. :-)

Thanks!

Lisa

We adopted a golden puppy, oh boy..

eagle3 — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:57:49 GMT

Hi there,

I am new to the forum and my husband and I have just adopted an 8wk old golden retriever. We have 3 cats as well and have had them for a number of years. This dog situation is a whole new thing to us and our older cats.

We are crating the pup and I find this very tricky. I like everyone have read all kinds of different methods, ways to do things and not to do. And I feel overwhelmed.

First off, I get that you take them out after eating(10-15mins or so) for a washroom break and that the feeding should be consistent schedule. But how often do you take her out just for play alone and if you do, do you give her some water then, how much water do you allow them to drink? How often in between meals do you take them for a washroom break? Or even just and exercise break?

I woke up at 5am this morning to get her out out of concern that she was in there too long from (11pm to 5am). She had a washroom break before bed and did both though.

I think I am just finding that getting on a routine with her is hard, mainly because of her needs and then the needs of our 3 cats who have enjoyed many years of sitting out in the backyard for hrs. I am trying to balance it but its hard.

The other challenge is the chewing and wanting to eat everything in the backyard especially It is exhausting, she just keeps putting everything from plants to rocks to half eaten chestnut tree nuts. I discipline her with a firm NO and try to direct her to her chew toys but she just keeps going back to things. Please tell me that all this effort will not be in vain and that she will grow out of it with repetition discipline and such..

I love my Schnoodle Puppy!

stellasmama — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 07:28:12 GMT

We just adopted a 10 month old schnoodle named Stella! Two months ago we had to say goodbye to our much loved 13.5 year old black lab, Sadie. We were heartbroken.

The house was too quiet...no furry face to greet us....so we adopted Stella! It had been a loooonnnnnggggg time since I had gone thru the "puppy phase" of dog ownership....and I was nervous about it this time around.

NOW...I remember the JOY of the puppy phase and couldn't be happier!!! Stella is so happy and full of energy and love! Nothing brightens your day like being greeted by a puppy when you walk thru the door!!!!!!!

Here's more photos of our girl....

I<3Molly — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:50:11 GMT

No more carpet stains!

alyssapupluv — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 11:48:21 GMT

I have tried every carpet stain remover on the market. I thought the only solution was new carpeting! I found an amazing pet stain, odor and pheromone extractor called Get Serious at petsmart... people were raving about it on the petsmart website. I used it and it completely cleaned my carpet- no more stains or bad smells- and my little yorkies no longer return to those “anointed” areas because the smell obviously no longer lingers to attract them back! If you are having this same problem I would definitely recommend giving this a try!

Puppy Teeth?

RunWithShears — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:47:11 GMT

My new 18 week Australian Cattle Dog pup lost a tooth yesterday. I'm not sure if it is from tug o'war with her older "brother", playing with her toy too vigorously or something else. I heard someone saying recently that puppies lose their puppy teeth like humans lose their baby teeh and was wondering if it was true or if I need to keep her rough-housing to a minimum. My 5 year old rescue I got at 8 months and already had his permanant set so I've never experienced it.

Has anyone else heard of this?

biscuit rules — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 04:45:55 GMT

Leash training an English Bulldog

kalade73 — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:22:57 GMT

I have an 8 week old male english bulldog. He is the cutest guy and we are doing well with most things. EXCEPT when we put a leash on him he sits there and wont move. I mean literally will not budge an inch. Can anyone send me some suggestions on how to get him to walk or at least move an inch on his leash?
Thanks a million guys I appreciate it.
Melissa and Wookie.

I miss my puppy!!

Jessica V — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:04:24 GMT

My puppy Wilson is at the vets right now getting fixed I know this is for the best but I miss him so much and I'm sitting here worrying that he's scared.

He should be able to come home tonight so it won't be for long

Finally!

Irishgirl — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 21:52:50 GMT

I am finally going to be able to get my new dog on June 20th or on the 19th!!! I have waited for 8 months to get my dog. I am SO excited!!!!!!! I cannot wait! I have the pup picked along with the name. It's going to be a boy American Brittany and his name is going to be Tucker Patroklos Delano, Patroklos is the name of Achilles cousin and best friend in the Illiad and Delano is French. I figured I should have something French in there since Brittanys are origianlly from Brittany, France. I cant wait! Any advice anyone wants to give on anything from the breed itself to just about pups is very welcome. Thanks so much.

New family member

Ralphie's mom — Wed, 06 May 2009 10:44:05 GMT

So me and my husband came across this little guy and had to go see him. Well when we got there I was horrifed. These people were complete idiots and dont deserve any animals or even children. The puppies were kept in nasty places and it was just sad. So I had to take him home. I feel so bad tho because his ears are clipped and they messed up when they did them and so they dont look that great. But hes the sweetest lil pup and gets along great with all the other animals and slept with Ralphie all night. Heres a pic of him and ill post more asap. Oh yeah and I named him Echo!

Ralphie — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:47:44 GMT

One of my friends told me she puts baby powder on her dog-- after her shower and she is dry.. Is this okay for dogs.. I use it myself ( I do not have babies) but I was wondering, I too enjoy the fresh smell.. Will this harm them? Does anyone do this?? Or is this a really odd question??

Great Pyrenees for Adoption

pitbullsrock28 — Mon, 25 May 2009 20:14:33 GMT

Hi Everyone! I have a show quality Pyrenees Puppy for adoption. I rescued him, contacted the breeder, who told me he was sold with full registration as a show prospect. He is a gorgeous white with badger marking, and is called Ace (Mystical Ace of Spades, is what we like to call him) He is finally back to health and ready to go to his new home! He does have one problem and that is with his food...He loves to eat and doesn't like other dogs getting to close, so he will need either trainning or fed seperately from the other dogs. He is a gorgeous show prospect and a big boy! 4 months old and 60 lbs!!! He is amazing! Please let me know if you are intersted in this amazing boy!

STOP DIGGING!!

Ralphie — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:02:23 GMT

HOW DO I GET MY PUP TO STOP DIGGING??

I can't seem to get him to stop. I've brought this subject up once before on here but can't find the topic--- please help with any solutions. I had 5 new holes in my yard this weekend. Some said to make a spot where he can dig.. I don't really want to do that cuz then it will just tell him its ok to dig and possibly go to another area where he is not suposed to, and dig?? I don't know, its really frusturating.

Puppy Health

scoobypye — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:01:09 GMT

I have a 3month old beagle and she has had V&D 2 times so far. Both times the vet office has wanted her to come in and I took her. I am concerned that maybe I am being over protective in taking her to the Dr. so soon. Both times she has only been sick a couple of times. Do you think I should wait next time or take her on to the vet. It cost alot to go to the Dr. so frequently. Just wanted a couple of opinions. Thanks.

rescued maltese

luv5553 — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 06:27:25 GMT

I rescued a maltese from a puppy mill. 3yrs, old. Finally got her pottie trained, won't go on a leash, plants her feet and lowers her body. Could anyone tell me how to over come this problem. We take a vacation every year, but will have to be able to be on a leash in order for us to take her with us. Greatly would appriciate any in put I can get in this matter.
