    Beagle shedding excessively

    I was curious what the best way/type of brush to use is for a short haired breed like a beagle. In all of my initial research, never did I read that they were excessive shedders. But, maybe with summer approaching and him losing his puppy fur, I am constantly cleaning the couch covers...

    Eye infection

    Do any of you know much about eye infections? I just had to take Bailey to the vet this morning b/c he was getting a yellow/green collection of mucus in his eyes and they are blood shot red. His one eye he was squinting so that it was almost closed. It really looked like "human pink...

    Potty training & the crate

    Well, I was wondering what method most of you have used with your dogs to potty train them. My main issue w/Bailey (4 month old beagle) is during the day while I am at work. I go home and walk him during lunch each day, but he continues to have accidents on the tile where I have been keeping...

    Please sign this petition to help these poor little creatures!

    Everyone, please visit this website and sign this petition. I wouldn’t read too much of it b/c it is pretty horrific. But to summarize, in China there are dog/cat fur farms in which they are skinning the animals while still alive and keeping them in very poor conditions, many even being stolen...

    Puppy eating poo!

    Ugh, I found remains of poo in my 3 1/2 month old Beagle's crate this morning. Yesterday, he showed his first interest in his poo when I was walking him and I caught him licking it, so I pulled him up and we moved on, I later picked it up. But, to my horror this morning there were brown...

    Puppy Biting

    I have a 3 1/2 month old Beagle, and his newest bad behavior is to bite at my upper legs and bottom when he wants attention. He only does this when he knows I am trying to leave, and I know he is telling me he doesn't want me to go or at other times he just wants my attention. But, he has tore...

    Learning new training tricks

    I have a 10 wk old Beagle, who is wonderful with his sit/stay command. I do it before every meal (4 weeks now), and 90% of the time before we go outside, and several times while outside. I would love to teach him to lay, roll over, and as another member mentioned to "play dead" after...
