I don’t know how to explain it, I’m just kind of over her. I guess I’m burned out or something and find myself having a really short fuse. Does this happen to you? I’m really not sure where it’s coming from, it’s been going on the last three days. It’s for no particular reason. I’m sure it’ll pass, but I feel...
I have a 1 year old Bichon Frise and she cannot stand the sight of someone using their phone. It’s not even when she was already trying to play with you and you pull out your phone, she can be laying on the coffee table while you’re on the couch, she’d be doing her own thing, but the instant you start using your phone she...
I tried to research this but couldn’t find much information. I have a one year old Bichon Frise who is extremely attached to me and my family, and she has pretty bad separation anxiety (technically a pandemic puppy). Usually, at least one of us is home 24/7 thanks to remote work so that’s what she’s used to....
Sounds bad to be so judgemental, but day after day at the park, the most misbehaved dogs tend to be owned by those who sit at dog parks and chat, smoke, bring random lawn chairs etc…...
We have a great pyrenees we adopted a few months ago and while he’s the sweetest dog and we love him he has the issue mentioned in the title. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone he just runs up to/in front of them and barks at them. If they happen to stop he just barks at/sniffs them. Since he’s a pyrenees I’d imagine this...
She knows me since my parents got her. I never lived with them, though. Sometimes she’s playful and loving and other times she’s angry and trying not to let me into the house.
Our dog Pepper is 8 years old. When I was away at college, my sister promised that she would train Pepper, but my family didn’t really help her, and by the time I got back, Pepper was becoming untrainable. Now she is untrained....
I’m dog sitting a few times a week (same dog), and he loves chewing up cardboard. He doesn’t eat it or anything, just makes a huge mess. He has nylabones and similar chew toys, but he’s not very interested in them. He seems to prefer things he can rip to shreds easily. Any idea what sorts of toys would be a good...
Sometimes when I try to let my dog outside to go to the bathroom he won’t go outside. He’ll just sit there staring at me. But If I go outside with him he will go outside and go to the bathroom with no issue. Sometimes I’ll just pick him up and set him outside when I know he needs to go but he’ll just just at the door...
Hey dog nerds / makers. I was surprised to find there isn’t a commercial option out there for detecting when a dog is doing a dump. For my pup at least an acellerometer that shows he is motionless and at an angle between standing and sitting should be a pretty good predictor of pooing behavior. I saw some blogs about a guy...
I recently adopted an adult dog. She’s sweet, affectionate, and well behaved. But it seems like the only thing she cares about is scritches! She’s either sleeping or shoving her head into your hands for attention. She doesn’t care about toys, or food, or anything else I give her. I can’t teach her games since the only...
Does anyone have the feeling that veterinaries are too quick to administer anesthesia foe things as simple as an xray? Couple years ago, most clinics ago wanted to put my dogs under just to chip them....
Fireworks are very bad this year. We tried some kind of brownie that was $5 bucks and supposed calm him and a product called July 3. Both did not work. What is your best product for dogs and calming them during fireworks?
For the past several months I’ve been walking my dog (Cocker Spaniel) at least twice a day. We usually get about 2 total miles in. My neighborhood is an old racetrack and it’s a nice walking route....
My dog is a borador, with a short double layer coat. In the summer we’d have the air conditioning on and even then she wasn’t much of a snuggler because she’d overheat. Now with the colder temperatures setting in I keep a blanket and/or a sweater on me at all times. She can’t even snuggle for 5 minutes without needing to...
