    Exclusive Dog Food

    So do you guys recommend Exclusive? I don't think our dog likes Nutro: Natural Choice that much and we're looking to switch.

    Aggressive behavior - please watch this video.

    Just got off the phone with a long-time local trainer. She said that we need to be trained how to train the dog and learn the dos/don'ts of dog ownership. ...since most people enable their dogs to behave "badly", when in fact it's us that enable such behaviors. She said that since the dog was...

    We're going to seek professional help today if possible. If the dog is too aggressive to be around our family, I would have no problems saying "bye bye Buster" even though I love dogs. It's my wife that would need convincing...she's already more attached than I ever thought she'd be since...

    I'm sure he wasn't overly aggressive because of the stick/glove combo. When he first took the meatbone into his kennel, I reached in and gently pat/rubbed his back like always and he started growling. I used the normal calming words to try to reassure him, but they didn't work at all. I...

    Trust me, the kids will always come first. This puppy was found abandoned in the woods by a friend of ours...he found it hiding under his truck upon returning from a hunt. The closest house was over 5 miles away and the puppy was determined to be 8 weeks by a vet at this point. We have no...

    We are going to seek professional help ASAP. Aside from this video (and the barking at the gate guard), he's an angel. We can pull anything out of his mouth (treats, toys, balls, etc), touch him anywhere, play rough, etc and he NEVER growls or even looks like he might. The kids play with him...

    I figured a glove meant to keep fish teeth out of my skin would be better than donating blood. ;) So you guys think I should present the meatbone to him again, but hold it and only let him nibble? How long should I do this and should I ever fully give it to him? BTW, I'm calling a few...

    Thanks for the info/advice. I should add that he acted the same way out of his crate...he took the meatbone into the crate and repeated the behavior while in there, but on a higher level. I understand that it's HIS place, thus the more aggressive growling/biting. He actually does really well...

    Oh no, I don't think it's funny at all...that's why I'm posting it up. He actually bit the glove more than once! We have 2 kids that I'm concerned about as well, so a "sometimes" aggressive dog is not what we need. Even if I reached in to pet him anywhere on his body while he had that...

    Hey guys...our 11 week old (normally sweet as can be) Pit/Lab mix just exhibited a very agressive behavior that we're not used to seeing. We gave him a bone with a little meat on it and when I tried to reach for it with my hand, he growled a lot, so I used a glove on a stick instead. Please...

    Please do your computer(s) a favor! (good stuff from a computer guy)

    scob89...too bad you don't live closer, I would like to have checked out why your system would hang with SS installed. I like Registry Mechanic as well...in fact, I just ran a scan yesterday. I also use majorgeeks from time to time. In fact, I'll use it right now. ;) RegScrubXP is a free...

    Two funny marriage jokes...

    How can we make up if we don't fight? ;)

    Siberian Husky

    I had two of them growing up (not at the same time) and BOTH of them would take off the second they were off of their leash...way too fast to catch and they could literally run for miles in one direction. My cousin did train one of them to stay, but he was a dog trainer in the military that...

    Two funny marriage jokes...

    A man and woman, who have never met before, but who are both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a totally booked transcontinental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly...

    Steelers Win!!!

    We live in FL now, but I lived in the McKeesport area from 1974-1995...then off to the military for me. I don't watch any sports on TV except for the Steelers. How about you...where do you live?

    I wish my new hard drive case would come soon

    Ahh...I see. :confused: You can get a WD 8mb cache 320GB hard drive for under $130 on newegg and many other sites...I believe Sam's Club has them also. It's not as cheap as $18, but I wanted to catch you up on the latest prices. :)
