I again ended up in a situation a few days ago with my aunt's (who also is our closest neighbor) dog that I'm now afterwards questioning if I handled the correct way, would appreciate some input from some more dog-experienced people than I am. I was almost home after a walk with my dog (a 5...

Is it possible for a dog to get carsick in just one particular car? Dante has always loved our car trips ever since he was a little tiny puppy, but since I bought a newer car a few months ago he's started showing symptoms of being carsick (yawning, excessive drooling, being restless). He never...

I'm getting tired of my dog being this choosy about his food. Putting his food down twice a day for 15 mins doesn't work, he'll go for several days without eating anything and with a mom in the house who nags at me like I'm the worst animal abuser in the world when I say he'll eat when he gets...

Dante is a bit over 7 months now and is overall a happy obedient pup but there are a few things on our walks I'd like some advice on if possible. I've been working quite a bit with him not pulling the leash, and he's starting to understand it fairly good as long as there are no major...

This is plans for the future when I have my own house and a large fenced in yard so it won't be anytime soon but ever since a good friend decided on getting a german shepherd for protection training I've started wondering what breed would suit me for a watchdog. I live in the countryside so...

I tried reading up from past threads about this but I couldn't really find any other suggestions for crate toys than kongs and nylabones. My pup doesn't like any kongs I've tried so far no matter what I put in them, and nylabones don't even exist to buy in my country. So his crate is awfully...

So my little cavalier boy is now 8½ weeks old and finally got to come home :) Picked him up this morning from the breeder, and he's just now finally fallen asleep at my feet. He's been way too busy exploring the new surroundings and the new toys to have time for a nap.. lol Dante and his...

I've been reading up on socializing puppies since it looks like I'll get my own pup in May but can't seem to find anything about how the breeders socialize the puppies before they are sold, so I'm curious, what do you breeders usually do for socializing?

Has anybody used it or heard any good/bad things about it? I'm not yet that good in reading the ingredient labels and recognizing what is bad so I would love some opinions and if someone could rate how good/bad it is. http://www.proformancepet.com/premadult.html Premium Adult For...

I've been researching breeders for my future cavalier puppy lately, and came across this local breeder I'm not sure what to think about. Generally people say they've got a good reputation. I've heard that from a knowledgeable pet store owner, a couple of vets and people who have bought pups...

I've been thinking and have pretty much set my mind on getting a cavalier after I graduate school next year and I would appreciate hearing some personal experiences, both good and bad, about owning this breed (like what kind of temperament, how's the health in your cav's, do yours bark a lot...

Well I'm now one year away from being done with my education before I find a job and sometime after that (in a couple of years probably) when I got a more stable environment for keeping a dog I'd very much like to get one of my own. So I thought I'd start early and research what breed(s) would...
