    Hi, I have a new pup, a black lab mix, about 10weeks old now. We have a nice big yard where he can play, and we have decided to raise him outside. Everything is going great, except for the fact that he decided he was going to knock over a priceless plant which we acquired, and managed to chew...

    Animal cruelty v. important u read this thread

    Do not let this group fool you. They are an extreme organization and you should think twice before you say you support this group. A little bit of research will reveal that PETA is.. in a word- CRAZY! I hope you realize that the group calls for the "total liberation of animals." This means...

    We're also having big issues with the dog escaping. If she escapes, she will keep running away and we have to run after her. We call her name but she ignores us and keeps on trutting away.

    Getting acquainted with a dog from a shelter

    She gets really easily intimidated. Whenever I get close to her to push her rear end down for the "sit" command, she backs away and ends up lying down or rolling over. I'd get frustrated at her if she wasn't so cute :-p Here are some pictures that I posted while trying to figure out what...
