you're not wearing a sabine hat and sabine scrubs are you?

yeah that's my concern too. i need to find out where it's lacking and see if i can adjust it or get supplements

can anyone point me to a diet plan that is good for this problem? don't want to feed hill's products. my dogs both got bacterial infections in their intestines. the vet prescribed a bunch of pills and cans of hill's prescription diet i/d. i see a ton of stuff on this board about how terrible...

one of my dogs has a spot on the white of her eye. it's hard to get a picture cuz it's on the side of the eye but it looks like this anyone know what this is?

i'm teaching my dogs to walk beside me, stop when i stop, but i've been doing it one on one. when i do have them both together, they just pull to be the lead dog regardless of how well they do on their own. i watched a kikopup video about heeling that said she would address walking 2 dogs in...

is it bad to teach your dog to do aggressive stuff on command? i have no idea. i'd love to teach one of my dogs to look like she'll attack, but i thought in the process i'd be rewarding her aggressive behaviour.

thanks for the advice. that is a good point about the vet not knowing animal behaviour. shouldn't she have known that a dog being held down in a corner is likely to bite? the only thing that kept the vet intact is the zero tolerance EVERYTHING here. (read:imprisonment and/or lashes then...

I took my dogs to the vet in dubai. Louie, my 1.5 yr old mystery breed needed a microchip and her annual booster shot. I wanted to ask about some of the problems i've been having with louie. (urinating/defecating in the house, resource guarding). The vet went to check louie's eyes and louie...

i just read the other end of the leash. it says not to repeat commands, which i interpreted as quickly repeating quickly, i.e. "sit,sit,SIT", since this is confusing to the dog. but then if i repeat the command after a minute or so, i think i read in the power of positive training that this will...

when one dog gets aggressive toward the other (guarding food, toys, me) i will put her in the hallway and leave her there for ten minutes or so. the idea being that everyone is in this room, and she is excluded. without fail she defecates or urinates or both. regardless of when she last went...

i wrote this thread after a previous one about the same topic disappeared from the forum. next time i checked, they were both gone. then i looked and the first one was back, was replied to and now i look and it is gone and this one has reappeared. what is going on? EDIT: this isn't the...

i like your idea of just leaving. although i do hate getting off the couch. it seems to be fine if i just pay attention to the aggressor (louie), but that seems like i'm not solving the problem, just going along with her demands. i caught laila flashing her teeth at lou while up on the couch...

one dog, louie will start fights with laila when food's around, so i started feeding them separately etc. i went on vacation for 6 weeks and when i came back, louie was now aggressive when laila was getting attention on a bed or couch. louie has always nipped or pulled laila's ears if she got...

First i'll give the problem, then the backstory/details. I can't get Laila to pee/poo on command. When i approach her as she is preparing to go, her ears fold back and she slinks inside. Since i can't get her to empty out at appropriate times, (ie before bed) we have accidents. These...

i guess i'll just keep an eye on it then. i don't think they would appreciate the cleaning much and after the first time it would probably take some wrestling to get it done. i'm scared they're gonna rip eachother's open with these cones on their heads. they're like little bulldozers with these...

We were talking about keeping her before all this started. I definitely won't be giving her back to the A.W.A. It is going to have to be someone i know very well for me to let her go. She was in a disgusting abusive situation before a client of mine stole her and brought her to the A.W.A. So...

my vet will not give me information on how to care for my dogs after their spays (if you really want to know why, read this. i suggest not bothering). so i've been reading articles online, many of them say to clean the incision as much as 3x a day. Some suggest betadine or peroxide. I can't...

more pics i'm looking up stuff about estrus and trying to get the timing right. she would have been 6-7 weeks. geez that is depressing. i think if the vet would have consulted us, we would have ended up deciding that it was the right thing to do, but to just go ahead and do it then tell us...

we did notice her nipples earlier on. we had a vet look at her and he asked if she was pregnant. i said she couldn't be, because she was in heat. thinking she had gone through her entire heat in my care. two or three days ago her nipples got really big, like over night. the wife said "she's...

We got her at the end of january and she was spayed today. i just now figured this out. when we got her home, we thought she had just started her heat. but if she is pregnant then that heat must have been the one she got pregnant on. SO that means that the rescue organization lied when they...
