    Eye problems!

    The past two days Jumbo's had some clear/white eye goop collecting in the corners of his eyes, but it happens sometimes when he wakes up, so i didn't think anything of it. First thing this morning, he looked like one of his eyes was a little droopy and red. As the day has progressed, they've...

    Clingy!!

    i did a few searches but didn't find anything- sorry if this is a repeat. Jumbo is a one year-old pit/lab mix. Very mild mannered, sweet, calm, obedient, wonderful in practically every way. However, he isn't very independent and not only is it extremely irritating (he can spend an hour just...

    Fetching issue

    i did a moderate search, but found nothing, so please forgive if this is old. Jumbo (male pit/lab mix in the photo) will chase any object i throw. He will collect the object. He will bring the object *near* me (within 2-3 feet) and drop it. He will hover over the object and mouth it. If i...

    Leaving home alone

    i know this is an overdone subject, so i hope everyone will forgive. I've done some searching of the forum, so i have some ideas, but every case is different so i was hoping for some input. Jumbo is a neutered male pitbull/lab mix. He is about 10-12 months old, but i'm not sure because was...

    Question about "Never give a command you can't enforce"

    I've read all over the forums the motto "Never give a command you cannot enforce". I'm having recall issues with my dog, and my question is: how do/can you "enforce" the "come" command?

    oh god i am going to kill my dog

    i have an Austrailian Shepherd/Pit Bull mix male, about 6 months old. He is driving me insane. He absolutely refuses to chew on anything appropriate. He constantly has at least 3 toys nearby to play with and if there is anything else near, he will destroy that instead. i will tell him "no"...
