    New Puppy

    Thanks for the advice. I figured time would be the best thing. I have been making sure that the new puppy knows Jena (the older dog) is the "pack leader" of the two. Jena gets fed first, gets greeted first, and gets to walk through the door first at the advice of a trainer at Petsmart. Jena...

    New Puppy

    We got a new puppy a few days ago, and our 2 year old doggie is having trouble adjusting. She won't play with the new puppy, and any time the puppy comes up to me or my husband while we are playing with our older dog, the older dog just walks away and pouts. Does anyone have any ideas about...

    Did your dog mind the firecrackers?

    Jena didn't mind them at all except that she had a little trouble taking a nap. She eventually did fall asleep though. :)

    Leash Manners...Too Young?

    I have been working with my 9 week old puppy on leash training. I am having some problems with her. She doesn't want to leave the house. It is so hard to get her to walk out of our yard and go around the block. Once she can't see the house anymore, she is fine, but as soon as the house is in...

    New Years Eve

    We'll probably be at home as well. Morning comes early at our house; we can't stay up all night bringing in the new year. :(

    Tail Chasing

    She does tend to do it more after a walk when she's all hyped up from exercise. We go for two 40 minute walks a day and play a lot indoors as well. She has a very short attention span though, so she looses interest in just about anything within a few minutes. The only thing that she manages...

    Tail Chasing

    I have noticed that my puppy chases her tail a LOT. It seems to be getting worse. If I notice her doing it, I will say "no" in just a regular voice, and she'll stop for a while. But she starts back within a few minutes. I don't know what to do to get her to stop. Has anyone else had this...

    Post Pictures of Your Christmas Trees!

    Your trees look great!! We didn't get a tree this year. Instead we opted for a more manageable rosemary bush that is like a miniature Christmas tree. Unfortunately, I was not blessed with a green thumb..... It's a sad day when your tree dies before Christmas. ;)

    Hi everyone!

    I'm new to the site. I just got a puppy about a week ago, and she is just wonderful. I've never had a dog before, but my husband has. We are working on potty training and crate training right now. She doesn't like her crate yet, but we are working on that. I know that before I got her, she...
