I know my puppy isn't perfect. One of the most confusing things being her natural wariness of me being too close to her when she 'feels like it' (which makes it frustrating to bring her to the park, because I can never get her to come back with me). She also isn't very good at learning/obeying...

Before anyone gets mad, *shameful look*, let's just say I just did my research and found out it's a bad idea to give your dog ribs or cooked bones...:hail: I am, of course, not very proud of the fact that Wanta has gotten a few bones (rib/pork) as rewards. I'm not sure if it makes it any...

Hey Chazhound; before I begin, I'd like to warn readers that this is 'mainly' a rant... in case you're not into that sort of thing :( Though I suppose there is 'some' technical application in this story. The main points in summary I guess are: 1. The rant about the lady in the park 2...

Hi Chazhound, been a while since my last question. But it seems that I've run into an issue again :confused: This only started happening recently, but Wanta is starting to become increasingly 'disobedient'. She is so in a couple of specific ways that I'll list out to make it less vague 1...

Wanta is only 6 months and I'm already seeing why so many of you have been emphasizing socialization >__> Wanta has a very shy personality to begin with, evidence being her sister. Due to friends many times coming over, Wanta is well experienced with new types of people, and usually rushes...

Hi Chaz. I was wondering if anyone could give me quick tips on getting Wanta to take her medicine. It's proving incredibly difficult, especially since now she has that silly cone hat. :confused: Essentially, she was spayed yesterday. The problem is, she needs to take her liquid medications...

Hi Chazhound; yesterday, a certain question that I had been putting off sprang up in my mind. My friend was a little surprised to hear that we had not yet paved the road into making Wanta a free-roamer, meaning, that we let her walk around the house unattended. I explained to him that the...

Hello Chazhound, this isn't really that urgent or anything but I thought I'd throw it up for educational/future purposes. I'm trying to understand the psychology behind effectively training the dog to use the yard as the bathroom, and avoid the inside of the house. As I see it, this is so...

Hey Chazhound: lol, it's been a while; I guess it's cause the day to day is a lot easier recently to take care of Wanta :p However, something recently has occurred, and I once again need the pro's help for just a little while :confused:. I need to know if 'forced hugging' is a 'condoned...

Hello chazhounders. It's been awhile, and I hope you've all been well. Wanta is doing pretty well. I have, however, accumulated in this time two general questions. One might be easier to answer than the other. 1) The first question is about dog barking. Wanta is very good about barking...

Sry for the delay; I know that some have been requesting Wanta pictures, AKA the puppy you all have been helping to raise. I am indeed appreciative, so here they are [taken literally yesterday]. She is reaching the 11 week mark, and your advice has been very helpful thus far, ty Chazhound. ^___^

Hello fellow forumers; a very interesting/ hotly controversial notion has come to my attention. :confused: Essentially: I'm not sure which is more mythical. The dominance myth. Or the 'debunking' of the myth. Basically I've searched the web and found NUMEROUS complaints of puppy...

This is a continuation of my socialization/unique situation thread, because the forum closes the 'edit' option after a couple of hours ************* :( I am at an all time low. I am scared/sad/confused about my current situation. As readers of my last thread will know, I have a unique...

hi helpful users of chazhound: it's been awhile since my puppy's diarrhea mishap. I am happy to report she is much more healthy, and has grown much confidence around the house since her shy entrance a couple weeks ago. It seems, however, that new problems pop up as old ones die: I am in...

Sorry Chazhound; I know recently I've been kinda of gun-hoe about posting. I was planning to stop for awhile and let breathing room, but a semi-emergency has hit. If very unlucky, my puppy may die. It had really bad diarrhea this morning and when fed its breakfast it vomited one hour later...

Thank you for all the help thus far to the forumers! I have learned to enjoy the love from my puppy. Hugs/discipline/kind petting/scratching. All of this. Even hard love like not listening to her whining. But what does SHE want when you pet her? I have read articles talking about how...

:p so this is interesting.. my puppy is CRAZY. What happens is usually she's calm and sleeps, and or is licks and bites kindly. But sometimes it goes crazy like a personality switch. It's usually triggered via napping and/or being in the grass. The Second Cali is in the grass, she starts...

Hi fellows; I have two rather short questions that have popped up recently. The first question is: is this just dumb or is it fair game? The puppy has learned to be left alone for whiles in the pen/bathroom. It may whine initially for the first 10 minutes or less, but then it just starts...

hellooo [sry for the multi-nature of the post, but I wanted to condense all my new puppy questions into one!] just need some advice! i'm really attached to my [7 week old chiweenie] puppy and am currently unemployed-ish so I have tons of time to spend with it. But I have a crate/puppy pen and...
