Thank you, ladies. I appreciate the suggestions! Much as it pains me to admit it, Hubby was right. :cool: When he had to go, he went. Outside, in the snow, at 19 below.

Within 5 minutes of meeting his new friend Bear, Buddy had, unfortunately, ripped his nose right off! Poor Bear. He never knew what hit him. Hee!

Over the weekend we got our first big snowfall here and Buddy, my 8 month old shih-tzu-poo/cocker, has been having a blast chasing after snowballs, bounding across the snowy yard and digging in the drifts, but it's been two days and he has yet to have a poop out in the snow! :o He'll piddle...

It sounds like Dakota is doing great! I'm ashamed to say that my little guy is a puppy kindergarten drop out! :o He did pretty well for the first few classes, and eventually got over his fear of all the other dogs and then, just to do my nerves good ( ;) ) decided that the biggest Pit in...

I'm not sure how much I can help with this - training my 12 week old puppy has been my first experience - but I wanted to let you know it does get better! I find Buddy (that's my little guy) tends to sniff around a lot more just before he has to go to the bathroom - that's his signal. When I...

Hi Lance2b, Thanks for the tip on the Puppy Kong. We have one for Buddy, and I've tried putting it in his crate for him to play with and he just gives me this look like "Nuh unh. I know what you're trying to pull, lady. No deal!" and refuses to go in the crate, or, goes in and gets it out of...

This is Buddy's outside chewie. It's a child's bathtub toy. Watching him tear around with it in his mouth, shaking the heck out of it, is really a sight to see.

Hi Milo! What kind of dog are you getting? I tried a regular buckle collar first, but was having trouble with the lead hanging down underneath my dog when we went walking, tripping him up and getting tangled around his legs. Also, with the leash right there practically in front of his...

I bought Buddy a harness today, hoping it would make "walkies" a little easier for both of us. (It did. We just got home from a lovely 20 minute walk and had much fewer tangles and no problems with him chewing on the lead). My question is this: Do people generally leave the harness on the...

Thanks for the tips! I actually have been saying "I'll be right back" or some vairation on that when I leave. Oops! I'll stop. Buddy is actually doing a lot better with the crate training.. he goes in a little easier each night, and sleeps a little longer. I know there are a lot of varying...

I've noticed that Buddy tends to eat grass too. He's never thrown up, though, and I've never noticed him to seem ill. So, it's okay to let him eat some since it doesn't seem to be doing him any harm? I was wondering about that.
