Can I ask two questions re. the DAP and the CD-techniques? I. One doesn't always carry DAP - what if you're outside walking your dog and a gun goes off and you forgot the spray or the bottle is nearly empty? II. How loudly (in dezibel) would a CD have to be played (on a good HiFi system, lousy speak...

So we can safely take it from that, that there is very little interest in their welfare from here on in. Can't comment on that but I am with the rescue group insofar as it is very common in rescue pups of unknown (sadly most often not a good) background that distress can trigger harboured diseases ...

I for one do not tolerate any unnecessary barking - at times we have up to 70 dogs at the place -, certainly not at nighttime so burglars are welcome to intrude after 21.oo hrs = bedtime!! Some dogs are more vocal than others, my recordholder is an Elkhound who barked 16 hours non-stop. As I am in t...

I have found over the years working with dogs of unknown backgrounds there can be various reasons for poop-eating in dogs. Some momma-dogs become obsessed with keeping their environment clean and don't even stop cleaning their pups and eating their poos (which is what momma-dogs do) and even take it...

Tracie, I have a few questions - if Emmabeth doesn't mind - which may help complete the picture. Has your Weimiegirl always done this or is it a recent development? Did you not train her to get used gradually to be left alone when she was younger or is she a 2nd hand dog with a dodgy background? Hav...

Rachel - I have one further suggestion: Have you considered getting in touch with your breeder or the littermates' families for re-socialisation or maybe a (local?) Samoyed club or indeed a Samoyed rescue organisation? In my experience dogs with behavior as described by you will find it easier to co...

A few things come to mind I would like to know about. Where is the dog/are your three dogs during the day when you're out? Inside? In the yard? What do your other two dogs (what type of dog are they, what age?) do when she displays this behavior? Which door are you talking about the dog is jumping u...

While I can understand your worries I must admit I am not a great fan of having to look out for my dog; dogs have good instincts that should not be overruled 24/7; for instance I had a friend with her AC Shepherd visiting while we had a big fire burning in the garden. My dogs are used to fires and k...

Your pup hasn't got a problem. He's mouthplaying and due to lack of littermates or canine playmates (remember: it takes a pack to raise a puppy) will chose what's on offer: you and your posessions): Your dog is in the process of teething and like a human baby will chew stuff. He will need to learn t...
