See, this is the reason we always have our "discussions" and you always end up with your feelngs hurt. Either you didn't read my first sentence in my last post or you don't understand what common sense is. Yes, I have cats. I have two of them and they have been "sick" for 4 or 5 days and...

If you are doing things like that why are you driving?

Just as self healing is common sense, you have to use common sense when dealing with a sick or injured dog. You've got to take into consideration just how sick or how seriously injured he is before you decide what to do. For example, my Abby started limping. It didn't get any better in a...

I am of the belief that bodies, both dog and human, are amazing self healing machines. The more you let them heal themselves without help, the stronger they are. I don't use anything "just in case" nor do I jump in to "cure" other stuff that isn't serious. 80% of any ailment we get will clear...

I think it depends on what kind of protein. Plant based protein MAY ... animal based protein, no, never. I'm not 100% sure about the plant based stuff.

High protein is the best for any dog. Just keep an eye on their build and adjust amounts of food based on that. More exercise would be great. :)

Anytime you are with your puppy, training is taking place. Either you are training him or he is training you. :) Back in my professional training days, I trained many puppies as young as 8 weeks. 3 months is a great time to teach him stuff. He soaks up knowledge like a little sponge. If you...

What does he bark at? People walking down the street? Other animals outside the window? Noises? or does he just bark at nothing specific but just to hear his own voice?

Yes and its not "testing out my advice", its following sound advice from years of experience of handling all breeds and all ages of dogs. I'm not the one not giving you time. You asked how to handle the "situation" and I told you. Simple as that. Because of statements you made about...

Because of several posts about her first one being over the top DA. Over the top DA is out of control.

Actually, I've had experience with them. :) I made my previous post because she was given good advice by several people that all agreed on the situation and proper course of action but she still expressed reservations about following that advice. And yes, my word is pretty much right on...

Be that as it may, she is still afraid of them and IMO she would be happier with a easier to manage breed. She had one over the top member of this breed, why on earth would she want more? Obviously, she doesn't have experience in managing two dogs, particularly two dogs she is afraid of...

I am beginning to wonder if you are dog savy enough to own two dogs of this breed. You seem to be afraid of them and lack the knowledge and confidence to properly manage them. You have been given some good advice from several people but you are reluctant to follow it. Some APBT's are not good...

I don't have a clue what a psychiatric service dog would do so any information I would give you from here on would be suspect but that hasn't stopped me before. :rofl1: Again, I don't know what PSD's do exactly but I do know that the largest percentage of professional dog trainers could not...

I think what you are dealing with is a pretty normal situation. One dog has an item (toy or food) and when the other dog gets too close, a growl is expressed which tells the other dog he is getting too close and to please back off a little. In this situation a growl is not as ferocious to dogs...

What kind of service dog do you need? If you have serious need for a service dog, I suggest getting one from one of the reputable service dog orginazations. I used to volunteer with Canine Assistants in Alpharetta, GA. They breed their own Golden Retrievers, labs, and Golden/lab X's...

Help for Your Shy Dog by Deborah Woods might be useful to you. It's been several years since I've read it and honestly I don't remember what's in it.

I would base my choice on which one has the most protein. However, the one with the most protein has powdered cellulose (sawdust).

Naturally I feed prey model raw. To answer other posts, I can feed PMR a lot cheaper than I can get Taste of the Wild. Also I never found a reason I couldn't feed raw even when traveling.

Vaccinations don't work exactly like that but its close. What happens is that when a pup is first born, he gets his immunity from mom's milk. He has the same immunity as mom. Sometime between 6 and 16 weeks of age that immunity goes away. I guess it depends on when he was weaned among other...
