I've stopped disciplining her when I get home. Most of the time, my reaction was just blurted out when I walked in the door to the chaos Callie created. As to dog proofing the apartment, I try to keep the place real neat so she can't get into anything she shouldn't but if I missed anything...

bubbatd, I'm waiting for the day I come home and find the place destroyed:) She's not big on toys, but will toss her ball or rope around and play by herself, which creates endless amusement for myself when I watch her. As to her food, she normally doesn't eat first thing in the morning. Even...

I know rawhide isn't food. Callie loves to chew and she won't touch the sticks. What are some good compressed brands and where would I find them. I've tried looking at my local pet store, but can't seem to find any that say "compressed". Where do you get yours?

Houndlove, I tried limiting Callie's space in the apartment when I'm gone. This went really well the first day, but on the second she got ahold of a cardboard box and shredded it into confetti. I've limited her space as much as possible. She's stopped eating her breakfast, though which worries...

I need to find a safe brand for Callie. I've tried the sticks but she doesn't like them too much. Any ideas?

Lately I've been having problems with Callie being home alone. Part of it is my fault, because for 1 1/2 months I was home all the time and Callie was pretty much never left alone. Now I'm in a new place (for about 2 weeks now) and I have a regular 8 hour day where Callie is left alone. Whenever...

I'm almost always with her when she has the rawhide. Maybe I'll try the sticks. Do the same rules apply to them as well? BP, what exactly are hot spots. Callie has three spots that she continually goes after and the hair never grows back. I haven't had a problem the last 10 days or so with...

I have a question about application. Callie has a long coat and whenever I apply Frontline Plus (which I've had tremendous results from) it seaps into her coat in the application area. I seperate the hair and apply it directly to the skin careful not to get any on her coat, but after applying...

I've gone to the vet about Callie's itching, but have come up with nothing. We've done basic allergy tests and skin scrape tests because she tends to scratch at the same spots over and over so there is no hair. The vet put her on anti-histamines for 6 weeks, but they didn't do any good. I have...

I'm a first time dog owner, so I'll be the first to admit I don't know everything about feeding Callie. It's come to my attention that the food Callie is currently on (Iams Lamb and Rice) is not the best thing for her. If someone could help me find a better fit for her, I would really appreciate...

ok, I'll check out other foods. Any other suggestions besides Canidae that might be a little easier to find. I live in small town KY which makes finding this kind of stuff a little difficult.

Right now I'm feeding Iams Lamb and Rice food to Callie. I split it up so she eats twice a day. Lately I've noticed that she's becoming a little bored with her food, and sometimes doesn't eat all of it. She gets plenty of exercise. We go on a 2-3 mile walk every day and she gets plenty of...

This seems to be a hot topic, but I have a new twist to the question. Callie is a very itchy dog, but only in certain spots. I have noticed that she gets bitten a lot ( by what I don't know, but she's outside a lot and digs around in the grass looking for bugs). She then bites and scratches at...

I have a photobucket site with a few pictures of Callie: http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e304/mymilo921/

Hi, I'm Kelsey and I am a first time dog owner. I recently got Callie as a college graduation gift from my parents. I got to pick any dog I wanted and I immediately fell in love with Callie when I first saw her at a local animal shelter. Callie is about 15 months and is registered as a shepard...

I do fuss over her after being seperated from her. I will definately not do that from now on. Even if someone is with Callie and keeps her occupied, she quickly becomes disinterested and starts whining again. She has literally whined for an entire hour when I went to run errands and my mom was...

I got Callie (a 15 month old Shepard Mix) about 2 months ago. Since I am a current college grad with no job, I've been living with my parents and two sibs. As a result, I am almost always home and if I'm not someone else is. Within the last week or so Callie has become really bad about being...
