    Considering a GSD

    It's been a couple of weeks since I lost my best bud of 11 years. I'd like to fill that void. Loyalty is the biggest thing for me. My pup was my dog and mine only. Friendly with other people but was always by my side. Are there any special considerations with this breed? We have two medium...

    got stuck with an 8 week old pit with issues, help?

    How is an 8 week puppy aggressive? That's like saying an infant child is aggressive.

    I need to know what had happened to my Dog

    Sorry about your pup. Try not to blame yourself. I just went through a similar situation.

    Such a good looking pup.

    Lost my boy yesterday

    Thanks guys. It's been incredibly difficult. I see him everywhere. It's hard for me to not look down and have him there. Everything seems to remind me of him. Grasping that I'll never have him in my arms again just rips my heart out.

    Lost my boy yesterday

    He has been by my side for 11 years. Meant the world to me. Hardest part is I never saw it coming. We've been watching his liver enzymes for the last 6 months and finally did a sonogram a week ago to check for worst case scenario - a tumor. My vet was very pleased to tell me that there was no...

    Moving - where to keep dogs at new house?

    If I use the belly bands, then that would allow me to let them stay in my room rather than a crate. How can I work on them with barking/whining while locked in?

    I'll try the belly band. Thanks. OK, dog whisperer, come work your magic with my pups.

    Haha, this place is great. Begging for food and pulling on the leash is not a natural occurrence. Two intact male dogs sharing a house and marking after each other IS a natural occurrence. Way to push what I said, too. No, they don't go mark on the toys in the pet store if I happen to...

    How DARE you give Dachsunds a bad name by claiming such an asinine, non-existent issue! :rolleyes: (note that icon = sarcasm). I never had problems housebreaking my dach. If you're claiming that marking is a housebreaking issue, I consider those two different games.

    And pit bulls are horrible people killers :rolleyes: An opinion is an opinion. It has been in my personal experience that larger dogs are easier to train to an extent. Most of the small dogs that I've had have always been extremely stubborn. If you can honestly tell me that poms don't...

    Who says they pee everywhere and yap "all the time"? The Dachshund actually has few behavioural issues. You put two uncut male dogs (especially small dogs) in the same household and they WILL mark. The Dach came into the household a mere 3 years ago with the pom thinking he's the dominant...

    Moving - where to keep dogs at new house?

    Nope, still here. The topic change was easy to ignore, it was the being called "irresponsible" that pushed me elsewhere. I'm not a trainer, and I take full responsibility in knowing that I didn't train my pom to the standards of some book. I was a teenager when I got him and the last thing...

    And there are those who think differently, which brings it up as a long debated topic that I'm not willing to get into. eta: nevermind, looks like you already threw the shat to the fan.

    I may have the Dachshund neutered, but my pom is going to be 8y/o this December. I see no reason to put him through the stress of a medical procedure to have a 60% chance that he'll stop marking. The other reason I don't want him running around the house while I'm gone is because like most small...

    Moving - where to keep dogs at new house?

    I'm not neutering them, and do to a busy schedule and the stress of a family issue, I do not have the time to devote to a steady training regime at this time. Yes, they will be going out at around 430 in the morning, put into the crate until 12 to 2 pm and let out for the rest of the day...

    Moving - where to keep dogs at new house?

    I have two, un-neutered male dogs (Pomeranian & Miniature Dachshund). In their current living situation, there is always someone to watch over them and let them outside. I will, unfortunately, be moving in with my parents in a not so friendly small dog household. They will mark (pee) inside if...
