    Itchy dog

    I gave her a flea treatment like you all suggested then followed up with a flea bath a week later and she is still itchy, not as bad but still bites her paws too. It is winter down here so not allergy season just yet. Is it just a pup thing? Or could it be something more?

    Itchy dog

    sleeping outside

    I think we should let this drop, I got some help, but I was more insulted about my dogs. This may have "outlived it's usefulness" as you say but lets not forget who made it into the huge deal that it turned out to be! I Didn't ask for this to become a fighting thread. I did say a while ago that...

    sleeping outside

    are you saying my dogs are kept in-humanely? It is not cruel to keep a dog outside...I like this forum but in my original post I did only ask what I could do to prevent her from crying so much, not whether or not I was wrong to keep her outside or not. I have cleaned up and improved all of the...

    sleeping outside

    Ok im going to settle this once and for all. We obviously have different opinions. So here it is. I am neither right or wrong. To you I am wrong but to me I am just doing what our family has always done. I love my dogs very much, we just dont baby them as much as some people. They all come...

    sleeping outside

    Like i said before, she can RUN ALL THE WAY UP A 5 ACRE PADDOCK!:mad: Why has no one taken that into account, i even posted a pic of it. She has lots of room to run around. She doesnt chew her chain and she isn't unhappy! She is perfectly happy, she goes to the beach and plays with my pup. And...

    sleeping outside

    I don't think you read my last post properly. If you look at the 2nd photo, you will see that she can run all the way up there. Ben, the older one is never chained up, and my pup only stays in the pen at night or when im not here, otherwise she runs around with the older one. Doberluv she is...

    sleeping outside

    Ok i took all of advice in but, my dogs will still sleep outside. As for the conditions, pup got a brand new doghouse yesterday. Pip will always be chained up but I have asked my dad to let her off every day for a while. The chain is not actually heavy, it looks it, but its not, as hard as that...

    sleeping outside

    plus as for pips chain, i dont think you realize WHY she has a big chain on, which in fact is not that heavy at all! She is extremely good at breaking chains. Been through tons of them.

    sleeping outside

    The water is actually CLEAN! The bowl is old. They get fresh water every day. As I said before Pip has run of the whole paddock. Our dogs are very healthy, and i think that shows since we have had them this way for years and Ben, you know he's 17 and we have had him since he was a pup as well...

    sleeping outside

    because thats how all our dogs have been brought up. She comes in more then the others, because im home more. I like to have her with me as much as i can. I would love to have her inside with me but to me dogs belong outside during the night. She is also not completely trustworthy with carpet...

    sleeping outside

    just because they are outside doesnt mean they are unhappy! Our dogs are perfectly healthy and happy! I bought my pup because, well why shouldn't I? She is my dog, and the others are my parents. Dogs do very well ouside! One of ours is 17yo and still sleeps outside! To me, dogs can be inside or...

    sleeping outside

    I live in australia, so winters aren't too cold. Even when she was inside she would still cry, also it isnt me that doesnt want her inside, it's my dad, his dogs sleep outside so why shouldnt mine, when our other dog was a pup, she stayed outside. She has 2 dogs as company, a kennel, a dog bed...

    sleeping outside

    ok, this is my last question...i think. I know she probably should have been sleeping outside since I got her, buut it's winter here and she is a tad older now, so she has started sleeping outside. There should be no problem as she is now right next to my other 2 dogs who love her. She also...

    a wee bit of trouble...

    She gets alot of praise when she does the right thing. I find that timeout works, while I clean it up anyway, I don't like her being able to see me clean it up.

    a wee bit of trouble...

    Hey everyone. I'm having a bit of trouble with house-training. The new girl is pretty good, has learnt not to wee on carpet. But here lies the problem, I take her out after she is fed, or after a nap, or after she has been playing, and she follows me but then loses control of her teeny...
