    Strange noise in Ohio

    Sometimes when I am outside late at night and turn the spot lights (on the deck) on, an animal starts making the weirdest noise. The sound is coming from the woods. It's not a bark! The best way that I can describe it is to say that it sounds more like a big (30-40 pound) cat growling/roaring...

    Should I be worried about Raccoon?

    In the past couple of weeks my two dogs have treed a coon in our backyard twice. We have a fenced in yard and twice now (once early in the morning and the other late at night) I've come out and the dogs have had a big old coon trapped. We have a grape vine in our yard and both times the dogs...

    Annoying new habit

    My dog has started a new habit that is driving me crazy. A couple of weeks ago Cody (13 months old) started licking the floor. He just walks around the house and licks the floor constantly as he walks. He licks the carpet, the tile, the concrete in the basement, anything. He just licks as he...

    Fence, Finally

    My father-in-law and I spent the entire day yesterday fencing in our back yard. Boy is it nice. The dogs can finally run and play and get all sorts of exercise. Before, we had to put them out on over-head runs (which was better than just having them tied to a tree) and they were always getting...

    Attitude after being neutered?

    I hear alot of stories about dogs losing their aggression after being neutered. I guess my question is: exactly how much aggression do they lose? I have an appointment to get Cody "taken care of" and am a little nervous? Is he going to be a complete wuss after this is over? Right now he pitches...

    (Soft) Ear Question

    My GSD mix puppy's ears have always stood straight up (at least for the 2 weeks that I have owned her). Well, I just noticed tonight that the tip of one of her ears is now starting to fold over. The weird thing is that the tip is falling back (toward her tail) not forward like most ears fall...

    Changing Color, Normal?

    I got a new puppy a little over a week ago. When I brought her home she was roughly 8 weeks old (can't tell for SURE because she was from a shelter and the pups weren't born there). She is a German Shepherd (mix, maybe). Her mother was also at the shelter and she definately looked to be a pure...

    House breaking frustrations!!!

    I just got a new pup (8 weeks old) on Sunday and although early, the house breaking is not going well. A few things concern me and I want to nip them in the bud ASAP if possible. For one, the dog very seldomly will go when we are outside. I will take her outside for 10 minutes and she won't go...

    Multiple Dogs, Yah or Nay?

    I have been seriously considering (for a while now) adopting a play pal for Cody. I would be looking to to get a female (to avoid major conflicts) terrier of roughly equal size and age. My question is for those of you with multiple dogs, do you ever regret having more than one? Do you ever wish...

    Who here uses a harness instead of a collar? Do you leave it on your dog all of the time?

    Hi, Glad To Be Here

    Hey folks. I am very glad to be here. I absolutely love dogs and I am a forum junky. However, it was very hard to find a good dog forum that wasn't breed specific. I was happy to stumble acrossed this one. Anyway... Back in June my beloved Husky (4-years-old) died from extreme seizures. A...
