Definitely a pom. My dog is actually a pug but over the 'normal' pug weight, though the vet said according to his height, hes underweight still. I've seen a lot of shows where dogs are taller than the showing limit but have papers, like mine, so it's completely normal, just means your dog is a littl...

Oh, I understand now, I'm sorry, I misunderstood both issues I addressed. Yeah, I think she just pees herself because of experiences with her owner.

I think vet bills are a small price to pay for an animal that is the way a loved, well trained animal can be. Read that sentence. An animal doesn't have to be well trained to be loved, or lovable. What makes dogs so lovable is that, no matter how good or badly trained they are, they're always they'...

I believe they do. In a book I read, called Marley & Me: Life and Love with the world's worst Dog, if the dog had destroyed something, he would be hiding, if he hadn't, he'd be waiting in the window. I think dogs sense things like that, though they dont speak a human language.

Tell her that you think she shouldn't use shock collars. They can leave huge physical and emotional scars, and encourage and provoke bad behavior. If she still wants to use it, then tell her she should only shock the dog when the dog lunges at a car. Explain to her that how would she feel if she did...

If I were in your position I'd be grateful the dog didn't bark much and no way would I want to risk her becoming noisy. Keep the genie in the bottle :wink: Yes, I agree, my dog rarely barks and I'm thankful. =P But the only real way it would be beneficial is because it's helping her training, but i...

Wow, he's nearby to me, but I can only handle less athletic dogs, like my couch potato Pug. I have an uncle who loves energetic dogs, though, and takes great care of dogs like that, if he still hasnt found a home in a few weeks I'll let him know, he has a boxer right now that he rescued from a shelt...

That's good that he is showing the dog that he is good, but can you tell a bit about the dog's history? Like where you got him from, etc., because your dog may just be afraid of men. In that case, you still are doing the right thing by showing the dog your boyfriend is good an pleasurable things com...

This dog doesn't sound like a bad dog, or even a dog who's personality has become one to seem bad to us because of what her owner did. She sounds like a very good dog, but a sensitive one, who just feels betrayed and because of that, is unsure of who to trust. Like others said, she just needs you an...

Thanks, everyone. I spend time with him because he's my family, and I usually bring my dog because I hate leaving him home, but I'm avoiding him more, and have hid the clicker since. And that's a good idea, Nettle, my dog is a fast learner when motions are involved, so it will be easy to teach him t...

What a smart dog! xD Wow, you should secretly catch him doing that, so you can videotape him. =P I wonder if he'd have ever let himself(or you) out, or if he can? I bet he could, though, what a smart dog!

He could just be trying to lay down. Many dogs spin before they go to the restroom or lay down. Some do it more than others, depending on the individual dog and spot they are spinning at, and they'll do this as long as needed until they find a good spot.

I was glad when Victoria shocked the owner at the lowest level, when that poor tiny dog had it at one of the higher levels as a puppy who was just a few months old! Look at that dog, it did not work, it made things terribly worse, and left a scar phsyically and emotionally. I couldn't believe that a...

I have a pug who I love and he behaves very well. However, whenever I see my grandfather, he tries to steal my own dog away from me, giving him dangerous things when I'm not looking, hitting him, using what he calls 'training techniques' but really just ruin his training. For example, my dog is clic...

Where can I see this episode online? is there a link?
