Along with what Renee suggested you could try a down stay (if she knows down). My dog won't stay in a sit stay for two seconds but does very well in a down stay. And like Renee said, don't give her the food until she is sitting. My dog learned VERY FAST he had to sit for his food.

I don't have any guesses but she sure is pretty. :)

All our dogs have made noise when they dream. As long as he seems to be breathing okay I wouldn't worry too much. It is pretty funny though. :)

I don't think you have to have a crate but everything I read says that it makes housetraining a lot easier. If you don't use a crate, make sure he can't get into anything; you could use baby gates to block off an area or just put his bed in a small room. We just got our third dog and all have...

Thanks Renee, you are always so helpful. I'll bring up esmerelda. Yes my dad grew up with 7 collies as outside dogs (every one of them was named Christy or Chrisie I forget which one). My mom's family went through many dogs; they left as soon as they ate the hose, a shirt off the clothesline...

So should Gunner be out all times the puppy is out? Right now his crate is in my room and the puppy's crate is in my sister's room and we let the new pup out when Gunner is outside or in his crate. I close my door when he's in the crate and I try to tell them not to squeek her toys because...

Well it seems Gunner is jealous of the puppy. We sat down with them and let them sniff and lick and he seemed a little better but he wanted ot play. It didn't help that my sister (she's 14) kept carrying the puppy into my room in front of Gunner in his crate. Anyways we did get some pics but...

Well my parents brought home a carin puppy today. They've been talking about getting another dog for a while since we lost our westie, Bailey in June. So Gunner (he's my dog) has a sister now. How do we introduce them. I'm concerned since Gunner is getting big and she is so small. He did...

Getting licked by the great dane. Hehe that must have been funny! Congratulations on your new puppy! Don't leave water in the crate. I was told by the trainer that puppies only need water after they eat or play. Take him outside on a leash to potty every time you let him out of the crate...

I have a 4 1/2 month old lab/hound mix neutered male Gunner; 2 Chinchillas (5 and 10 months); and a Westie, Bailey who lives on in my heart!

My puppy does the submissive peeing and he is a lab/hound mix. When I asked the trainer she said dachshounds are known for doing it and they grow out of it. I read somewhere that petting him on his sides and chest instead of his back and head can help as it is less intimidating for the dog; he...

They are all so cute! Gunner wants you to send him a brother for Christmas. :) How many are there? They must keep you busy! I love the pics where they are sleeping with their heads in the food bowl.

She is very cute! How old is she?

Maybe we'll try the other girl next time and see how it goes. I forgot the other reason I chose that vet clinic was that they have experience with chinchillas which I also have two and it's hard to find a chin vet. I had another chin vet too but then SHE brought up neutering him and wouldn't...

Anyone know what MCH and MCHC are? They were two of the things tested in the presurgical blood work Gunner had done before his neuter today and the paper they gave me says these two are high values; everything else was normal. Just wondering :D

What should I look for in a vet? When I got Gunner from the rescue, I had to pick of a list of vets where I was going to take him to get neutered. I chose the hospital because it is open from 6am-2am and there is around 10 doctors so if he ever had an emergency, good chance they'd be open and...

I'm a Pointer too, that was fun! :)

Thanks I thought they would be okay but wanted to check so we wouldn't have any "accidents" and Gunner loves to play with them and it helps him get rid of SOME of his neverending energy. The class is only for puppies 3-6 months and I think most are about 4. When is a dog considered adolescent...

Looks fun, Gunner want to know if he can come over.

I am a senior in college studying biology with no idea what to do next. I also work part time at a dairy store. Mmmmm, lots of yummy ice cream!
