    Please help these dogs....

    I found this on another board that I'm on. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I really didn't know where to put it.

    Two Dogs...big dilemma!

    Sorry to anyone about this sounding like a highjacking but... I own two pitbulls. I know many, many people who own pitbulls and they are one of the sweetest, most sensitive breeds I've ever come across. It is not in a pitbull's nature to be people aggressive, and if you don't believe me, check...

    I might lose my dog!

    I'll admit, I've only read the first page so forgive me if this has been said already. I don't know if you're breed is known for being people aggressive, I remember someone on the first page said that they aren't suppose to be. With your dog being people aggressive there are two...

    Index of Pet Rescues

    here's my local one... http://www.brocktonbluedogshelter.org/ they specialize in "difficult" dogs that either came from abused situations or are on the 'hard to adopt' list aka pits, dobies, ect. they do a ton of rehab and training before they start looking for forever homes. We were going...

    Husky's fur is stained

    when I worked at the groomer's we used Dawn on the dogs that came in that got into oil and on cocker spanials' ears. It's the best thing for that kind of heavy oil and it's a lot safer than running the risk of the dog ingesting grease.

    Sad Story

    yup... made me cry too... I saved my dobie from a shelter... he's the sweetest thing I've ever seen and 9 years old when I adopted him. I showed up the day before he was going to be put down and all I could think about through that whole story was him.

    How to deal with the ignorance of others?!

    I'm more worried about getting bit by a little dog than a big one. From my experience, owners don't seem to care about socializing their little dogs and much as owners of big dogs. When I was working in the groomers, it was the toy poodles and the cocker spanials that we watched out for!

    how do you teach a dog NOT to eat??

    I know this many sound like a strange question but it would help. My two little girls will eat everything and anything. I know that puppies need to chew... that's not so much the problem... well, it is but it's not the one that I'm concerned about... I just have to replace the kitchen floor...

    Bad skin

    Well, I figured I'd give everyone an update. I switched my sweetie's food about a month ago to Nutro for large breed seniors and he's doing great! I just gave him his first bath in a month, and the main reason he needed that one was because he was starting to get oily again. The dandruff is...

    need help! Very Weird!

    Please, give him time. He's not going to forget what has happened so quickly. What he needs to know right now is that no matter what happens, so will behave the same way toward him. Once he realizes that you won't change into a monster on him, he should start to relax.

    need help! Very Weird!

    I have suspisions that my dobie was abused before we got him. Crouching at any yelling, running away from too much noise, ect. It's been 2 years since we adopted him and he still shows signs that he was previously abused. It took a year and a half before he would even play with us. We spent a...

    Ahhhh!!!

    hello again! I seem to be running into a consistant problem with my pups. They are 15wks and I haven't been able to start house breaking them because of the stupidest little thing. I have a split level house and all the door to the outside are on the bottom level, the pups stay in the...

    Please Read!

    Thing on puppy's eye.

    I first noticed it yesterday and it's starting to get bigger. I think it may be a ingrown eyelash, but I'm not sure. Is there anything I can do for this?

    8 week old Mastiff pup

    When my two get too active, it's one of two things. If it's both of them going at it, I get up and leave them. No attention, nothing. They're starting to figure out that I don't stick around when they are misbehaving. If it's only one misbehaving and not listening to commands, she gets put in...

    While My Puppy Sleeps...

    my babies do the same thing. First day we brought them home, one was playing so hard in her dream that hubby thought she was having a seizer! The easiest way to tell the difference between an active dream or a seizer is how easy is it to wake them up. If they pop out of it when you try to...
