    Shaving dogs

    Shaving dogs does not ruin the coat. It can change the coat texture. A Shih-Tzu shaved over and over will have a soft coat that is easy to scissor. A Shih-Tzu that is long will have a coarser coat, laying flat on the body. Scissoring looks choppy due to coarseness. However let the shaved one...

    Prescription Diet Treats

    I agree Hills is cr@p food. However a lot people feed it because their vet says they need to. The treats are as healthy as the food. :confused: But at least the dog gets something crunchy and the owners do not have to worry about any side effects.

    Small dog and puppy safety

    Things you would never think of that can hurt or kill a small dog or puppy. Hawk and Owls... They can take away a full grown cat. I always keep my eyes in the sky when I am out with my little guys. If your pet goes out by him or herself you can make a canopy with kite string to keep these...

    Early Neurological Stimulation

    I have used it many times and it does work. I raised a Chihuahua puppy from three days of age and practiced this with him everyday. He grew up not afraid of anything. His whole head was an open fontanel..it totally closed. Note* I do not have any scientific proof on the claims, I only have...

    Names

    If you rescue a dog that has name do you change it? How do you feel about changing a rescue dogs name if it had been mistreated? Do you feel that would help disassociate from the past memories attached to the name?

    Need options for problematic old guy (long-ish)

    Have you had Cimba eyes checked to see if his vision is fading? I do not think keeping them separated is good. Since they were all together before they do not understand why they are not any more. What do you so when Cimba has an accident in the home or kennel? Some of his diarrhea could be...

    New puppy need advice

    I agree that some mouthing is ok as long as they do not bite down hard. Instead of saying no you can telling her no bite. This can hurt a bit but I have held their jaw when they have a hold of my hand saying no bite. When they calm then I let go. It is turning the tables on them. The pain comes...

    New puppy need advice

    She thinks it fun. You could try yelping like a puppy and walking away. You do not want to give her anything if she is biting. I know you are trying to take her mind off your hand, but it is almost a reward for biting your hand. Yelping and walking away is what a mom or litter mate would do...

    beagle mix crying in kennel

    You can help him out by putting one of your dirty shirts in the kennel with him. You can even wrap a stuffed animal with it and place a portable clock under it to simulate a heart beat. Always put a fresh dirty shirt in there so your scent is always fresh.

    Potty training, gone so wrong.

    I would bring her back in and put her in her kennel for a few minutes. She seems to be getting into a habit of doing this so you have to break the pattern.
