The poop eating dog thread got me thinking. Where do you guys throw out dog poop that you pick up?? For us, we don't have a yard so poop is always picked up in bags. If we're at the park, it goes in the park trash but just walks around the neighbourhood leaves us nowhere to dispose of the...

There's a young dog at the shelter that we've decided to visit this week. He's supposed to be a Lab/BC mix that was living on a reserve. The thing is, he's always roamed as he pleases and the shelter says he's prone to roam around and doesn't really care about following a specific...

I thought I'd ask you guys for some opinions. Nia is a dog that can eat anything, switch to any brand of dog food and eat any kind of treats/tablescraps/raw/kibble with no problems at all. She's has an iron stomach, well that is until about 3 weeks ago. She was put under for a...

A close friend of mine recently got laid off from her job because their store closed. However, 2 days ago, her dog was hit by a car because his collar broke when he took off after a squirrel. He's hit pretty badly with a fractured hip, one broken leg and various degrees of internal damage...

I find this topic very interesting. Much of my own family are bankers and hedge fund managers so I see personally how much they work... However, the current standard for new recruits in these types of careers literally have new grads working 75-90+ hours a week. Family members have worked 3...

Our Cavalier is terrible with her nails. She absolutely will not let us do them. She lets us hold her foot and touch her nails but the moment we have a clipper in the room and she knows it's there she won't even take treats and hides. Also if we hold her paw and forcefully tries to do it...

Guys, help me out. I can't for the life of me decide on a breed no matter how much I try. I keep thinking I want a BC, I want a BC but then I keep seeing how reactive and/or sensitive they are to things like noise, storm, etc. and I really don't want to deal with that. Other than Koolies...
