My dog is an extremely picky eater. Recently we switched to home cooked because he refused to eat any of the kibble we gave him and was losing weight. But, we have been traveling a lot lately and have tried switching back to kibble. Are there any that he might actually like? Currently I am...

We wouldn't consider a shock collar :eek: No worries there... Our crate is the perfect size for him and I think he will not bark while in it. We are going to test that out first for short periods of time to see how that goes. I am hoping to find a more permanent solution in the long run as I...

I read the link you provided Saje, and I think he suffers from some seperation anxiety. Unfortunately I don't think there is a lot we can do to ease this. Riley is walked and excercised an hour every day, especially if we will be gone for more than an hour. He has been left home alone for...

I just found this ultrasonic barking trainer at petsmart online. It looks like it would work well, has anyone used something like this before...

We are having a barking problem with our 7 month old puppy. He doesn't bark when we are home (very rarely), but everytime he is left home alone he will bark anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours straight. We live in an apartment so our next door neighbors have been letting us know if he barks and...

I have heard hopping was a sign of hip displaysia so that was why I posed the question. We plan on having him checked when we return home in May (we are currently abroad). His breeder gauranteed him for hip problems up to a year also so we have always planned on doing a full check up for hip...

I looked up a little about what you mentioned with pacing and such. I am not real familiar with the terms used for a dogs gait. From what I read though it looks like he is doing a really low speed gallop. Maybe that is why it seems slightly choppy and stiff. Then when he goes into a fast gallop...

No offense taken, but as our puppy was definitely not the runt of his litter I am not inclined to refer to him as a runt Australian Shepherd. I understand that the AKC only recognizes Australian Shepherds between 18 and 23 inches, but our little guy doesn't fall into that category. Keep in mind...

Our puppy (a miniature australian shepherd) is 6 months old and I have a slight concern about the way his back legs move. At a normal walk they seem fine and move fluidly. Then, when he is between a walk and a run, they move almost in unison like a galloping horse, but in a very stiff way...
