(first, i know no one can tell me what to do but some suggestions would be appreciated) Ok. so patty has been sick. Stopped eating, started eating again but threw up, then she'd be ok for a day or two, then get sick or not eat. She lost alot of weight. I took her to the vet, the vet did some...

Ok, so i know dogs aren't supposed to have minty fresh breat or anything. Patty used to have a little bit of doggy breath but but about four months ago or so she started to have REALLY bad breath. I mean you can smell her from a couple feet away sometimes. she doesn't go outside alone (except...

So I changed jobs (new shift) and that messed up my poor dog for a bit and there was one week where I worked all day and at night had to do renovations so she became a little down, wasn't eating to well, sick a couple of times. Things are back to normal however, she's become a picky eater...

So my Patty seems to have developped a new thing that she never used to do. First off, she's ALWAYS really anxious to go see and meet new people. Pulls the lead, pants, and if for some reason I was outside and she wasn't on a lead (just if we're in the yard) she darts towards them full speed...

Patty, my Chocolate Lab was that way to. She loved to chase after the frisbee but would always let it hit the grown before picking it up. Now she catches it about 50% of the time now. What worked for me was throwing it just a little bit ahead of her. Since I've been playing ultimate frisbee...

I'm just curious about my dog. She's not a fan of sharing toys. Even if its a stick. As soon as someone throws something she has in her mind its for her and her only. Sometimes she gets the toy and she brings it back no issues. Sometimes she doesn't get the toy, and the other dog brings it back...

Ok I'm just curious here and wanted some opinions. I think this is normal but want to double check cause if I'm wrong, I want to be corrected. I've been going to the dog park lately with my dog (dog park is not the issue, I know people have mixed emotions on them but lets leave that aside)...

I was wondering, I have a clicker, and I did try to use it but found it tough with holding the leash, trying to give a treat and holding the clicker all at the same time. ...if you can make a click sound (like they make on the movies with they want the horse to giddy up. lol) with your mouth...

First off you guys have been alot of help in the posts I have read on this site as well as the couple of posts I have posted and received responses. I also know that the best option would be for me to take patty to obediance class but unfortunatly its not an option at the moment so that's why...

Ok, so I have two questions perhaps someone could share some advice. The first is about walking my dog on a lead and not having her pull. First off, I know and understand it takes time and practice and that's what I've been doing but wanted to know if there are any suggestions from you guys...

No, I haven't been to the vet for a check up since last october or so. I didn't think (and I could be wrong) it was to serious since it happens bascially once every 60-90 days or so. Just thought I'd look to see if its a common problem or not first.

No its not one of the recalled foods. But thanks for asking. Also this had started happening way before the whole recall issue. Also I might add that I feed her twice a day. once in the morning and once aruond supper time. 2 cups each time (so a total of four cups a day) Been doing a...

Hey there, I don't think my dog is anorexic, but, she does on occasion vomit after eating. At first I thought it might be the tap water (chemicals in the water) so I changed her to bottled for a while, no problems. A friend suggested I just fill a jug with tap water and let it sit for a day...

Do you have a link for the Halti no pull harness? I'm looking online but can only seem to find the Halti head harness. (not sure if my local pet stores carry the Halti ones)

Ok, so this week end I bought this http://www.premier.com/pages.cfm?id=74 Its supposed to stop your dog from pulling. And it does a pretty good job. I don't think its to bad for the because all it does is put some pressure on the should if she pulls (kind of like if someone put there hand on...

Nope, Using just a regular 6 foot leash (solid). I used to walk her with a harness (cause when I first got her she was so excited she almost killed herself from pulling on the color) But I've been trying to walk her more with the color these days.

That's about it. Patty does this alot towards new people (usually out of our reach) and dogs also. She'll give a small growl for like 2 or 3 seconds, then a bark or two and I usually correct her, then she's focused on me. She loves people. Everyone who comes over and whom she meets she's just...

Ok, so indoors, if I tell he dog to sit, lay down or come, she listens very well. If there is company she might be a little excited and needs and extra word or two of coaxing to sit or something but all in all, I'm very proud of the way she listens. Outdoors is a bit different. If I ask her...

Hey there Guys, I have a question for you guys. I've been doing some reading and am trying to figure this out (until I find a good trainer in town to bring my dog to. researching that right now.) I have a 3 year old chocolate lab named patty (femal) that is a rescue dog. I've had her for...
