My friend owns a shitzu, whose ears look pretty bad. Inside, theres yellow flakes that cling to hair, and his skin KIND OF peeling off, and its all flaky. [and it smells really bad.] any advice? We have a powder and some liquid cleaner, but he wont stay still. Any tips on how...

So my current dog, Happy, is fine. We're still working on the housetraining though, and he's not biting as hard. Question: Sometimes while Happy and I are playing, he bites down on my hand. I instantly squeal, and he jumps up and frantically licks my face. Is that an apology or...? ALSO...

I'm just curious. I've been wandering the boards, and theres a lot of things about pitbull training. Pitbulls are awesome, period. But anyways. So what is pit bull training? Like basic... sit, down, heel, kinds, or... ?

Today I was in my mom's store. In front of my mom's store is a HUGEE road. There's cars running all over the place, and its extremely crowded. (New York) So I was inside, and suddenly, my mom goes, "Gah. I'm opening the door." My dog was loose in the store, and just wandering, and so when...

My puppy lately has been ripping up paper towels. Whenever I come home, there are shreds of paper towel EVERYWHERE. I scold him, (Pick up a shred of paper towel, hold it in his face and say, NO!) but for about months now he hasnt stopped. He drags the paper towels in the garbage can out...

So I was walking my dog the other day, and my puppy, (who's seems to be dwarfed when standing in grass) was happily galloping through like... three inch high grass. And suddenly, this bald really buff looking guy pops out of the house that owned the lawn and practically bellows, "DONT LET YOUR...

Okay so I stuck to this rule, except... yes mouthing. I just cant- Hm. *Thinks* 'Cause the thing is, I watch him EXTREMELY closely nowadays, and I noticed two things. 1. Yelping does NOT work. I tried screaming, (I have huge lungs so when I scream its for 5 hours. :D ) and no effect. So...

Today my puppy went to the vets and got his shots. I cant give you much details because I didnt go with my dad- I'm at home and throwing up all over the place. :( So my dad took him and came back and said, "go back on April 21st..." So basically all I'm asking is Is it safe to take him...

GAH!!!! I"M SO CONFUSED!!!! I thought I had this whole puppy thing all together, but I've had too much free time lately and I've been brooding. -This puppy isnt very good with bit inhibition, and I cant teach him very well because he does not know what a yelp is. -My mother is moaning and...

I'm kind of... mad. My puppy nowadays has become really wild and reckless. I mean, he trails after us in the house, but when we sit down or lay down, he leaps at us, chews our close, hair, and ears. I was playing with him just a moment ago, and he bit me REALLY hard, and now I'm bleeding. I...

Well, I'm supposed to be typing up a study sheet for a science test, but I love this site too much. ^o^ Bite Inhibition/Mouthing So far Happy has been doing fine. I firmly say "NO." when he starts to chew on me. (although sometimes I just zone out and let him chew and chew) Me and him play...

^^ My new puppy is so... nice to me. ^^;; I feel so loved LOL. I mean, today, he just learned how to go up stairs, and its all for me. *sniffle* I feel so special. And this fuzziness is about to make me go hyper. -And darn, I'm writing about my puppy when I should be doing my essay- BUT HE'S...

Okay, so far, my puppy is doing quite fine! I've attempting cutting his nails, but he's being a stupid little pussy cat and wriggling and squalling in my grip. :rolleyes: So I gave up on that for NOW. I have a question. I've been housebreaking, and he's actually doing really good! I've...

-_______- <--- That, is an exasperated face. Do you know why I am exasperated? MY MOM!!!! She keeps moaning about 'keeping that smarter puppy'. See, my puppy right now is kind of.... BOiNG to the world methinks. My mom keeps saying its a dumb dog. *Roar* But I heard that all puppies are...

Before you all attack me and get pissed off and get me depressed, just kind of think about this in my point of view. So... I got the puppy. As you all know, I'm aware that it is too young. (from all the attacking :( ) I'm assuming that you are all assuming that I got this puppy from a...

I'm doing a writing assignment, and I couldnt find anything about incorrectly docking a dog's tail on Google so I came here to ask. So if you dock a dog's tail incorrectly, what could happen?

My friend is worried about her dog. Its a spayed, 2 year old yorkie. She says her dog has two lumpy things on both sides of her body that you can grab. Its right next/above her hind legs. She said her dog has had it before. Any ideas on what it is?

For the puppy I'm getting, I'm just curious. Do you think this would be a good confinement area? (I couldnt help but add the Kong toy LOL) The size of the whole area would be maybe 3feet x 3feet? (The GRAY is the confinement area. The peach is... the floor?)

Just wondering, which ones are better? I didnt like the first one becuase whenever I used to cut my dog's nails, I had to apply a LOT of pressure. I've never used the second one.
