    Lab pooped in bathtub

    Like I said, it only seemed to happen from anger. She has quite a personality as always. And like the saying goes, Hell hath no fury like a husky-shep scorned... Well they changed that a little to woman 'cuz it had better sound! :) Brent

    Pit Bull Pamphlet!

    I,to, am a pit owner. Unless they have recinded or modified it, the spca national or the humane society national (I can't remember which) published a statement at the time the whole pitbull media witch hunt began saying that there were more reported dog bites by the cocker spaniel than with all...

    First day of deer hunting tomorrow....

    As a hunter and a responsible one at that, I have never trespassed to hunt and I suggest that to approach a trespassing hunter should only be done while fully armed, as he is already willing to break the law you should be ready to defend yourself or call the police if you are not ready to take...

    Lab pooped in bathtub

    On the flip side of the coin. Our husky-shep mix is also very smart, and uses reasoning. As a way of showing anger for being left home, especially if we take another dog for a ride, even though it may be to the vet :mad: She is likely to poop in the middle of our bed :eek: I know it is anger...

    Treats for Chloe

    Being as cheap as I am with limited resources, I last used slim jim meat sticks sliced into very thin slices. I know this is not a very good food source but one stick lasted through several days of training. I used the mindset that the smell as strong as it is let my little puppy think she was...

    Poll:Where did you get your dog?

    From oldest to youngest, I picked up our Husky-Shep mix as she walked along a hi-way, I put her in the cabover truck, bought her a pack of hot dogs to eat on the way home, opened her door and she bolted after a stray cat, doggone, nope I whistled a shrill loud whistle and she broke from the cat...

    His paw is a chew toy!

    To all the owners of dogs with this behavior. Does the dog have tasks or "tricks" that are enjoyable? If so, try distracting the dog on a regular basis by getting the dog to concentrate on a task, it may not cure the problem but may help to allow the feet to dry etc. I would rather feel it were...

    His paw is a chew toy!

    If you do not have chemicals applied to the carpets which can cause discomfort,or other situation similar to this,what you have here is truly obsessive compulsive behavior! I am no expert on it but have seen many dogs suffer from it. I had a pest control customer who had a shephard that literaly...

    I REALLY need advice.....

    As for ticks and fleas, I use nothing as far as collars or liquid treatments, lots of garlic in their food for flea prevention and cultural practices in the home. After every walk and visit to the park they get the above mentioned thorough going over. We have much less tick activity in florida...

    I REALLY need advice.....

    personally, I use my hand to swish out the existing water and rub any slime from the bowl allowing it to refill before I let my dogs drink it, mainly 'cuz I do not know non-dog germs are multipling in there. Other wise I agree with the other posts. If you over protect your kids they are not...

    pitbull cross information

    As a long time owner of pitbulls I will say you need to have total control over the dog, and be ready to get between your dog and dog who wants to challenge yours! You should be thinking how to protect your dog from confrontation as your dog can win any confrontation it may face, in the event...

    Notice to people who visit my home.

    I think we nave a commonality here! The people who have a problem with our dogs being around them are barely welcome in the first place! Since they choose to stay away due to dogs saves from biting our tongue to refrain from telling them how we feel about them in the first place! I am accused of...

    Notice to people who visit my home.

    I will put the dogs away one time for a kid friend of my children or a friend of my wife but only to explain how they need not worry, after that if you do not want my dogs around you stay away from my house, I do not want your kids around my house but I do not banish them to sit in your car...

    Homemade dog food

    I have never seen a problem with their teeth but feared I would. I will try letting them go for several months to check it out thank you. I do know of these chemicals in feed but never thought my homemade food would let them keep clean teeth as it a "wet" food. I personally cook mine but mainly...

    Homemade dog food

    I read the ingredients and found no pesticides listed. I find a day or so of that feed helps teeth, I work out of town as well so there are times when I am un able to cook food, and since, contrary to advertising, most so called premium feed is not much better I choose it. I am saving money...
