I have just finished watching all 7 parts, now will you share your observations with me? I can't read your mind... I have already gotten child-safety latches for any cupboards and drawers that I don't want her opening anymore, and all supplements, OTC & prescription meds are in a latched lockbox...

Please don't take this the wrong way but you are thinking human not dog. If you go to the Articles section you will find a thread on body language, I found this really helped me with my dogs and I am sure it will help you as well. To get the best out of our dogs we have to think dog, he need to lea...

I don't think I appeared angry when I came home - I was exhausted and it took a lot of effort to show anything (like when I did the dog whimpering sounds, which I stopped as soon as I saw her in the corner...) She was able to scratch up the top of the wood cabinet because I'd removed the embroidered...

My English Springer Spaniel used to LOVE carrots! Munched them with me as eagerly as if they were steak! And broccoli, & many other raw and cooked veg., like yams (just don't give them onion or grapes/raisins, avocado) just remember if they fart, you gave it to them :lol: My 7 month old rescue p...

Is there another dog owner where you live? Maybe you could buddy up (if your schedules aren't the same) and help dog-sit for each other.
Then the pups get socialization time (and hopefully get along) and each pet owner gets some stress relief...

I understand that puppies explore by putting things in their mouths, and that no dog ever understands monetary/ property loss - but as I was cleaning up I was trying to "think dog", and since my service dog of 14 yrs. seemed to care, and I imitated "sad dog" noises. I don't think...

But what if I can't replace it? (I rent an apartment)
Don't I need to get all the scent out so my pup won't re-offend anymore?

I thought I HAD tidied up well enough & "puppy proofed", but she got thing off the counter tops, things I didn't predict she'd be interested in, but when I looked at it all, they were things that I used (put in or on my mouth, like the dietary supplements and lip balm) or used/ paid at...

I've tried several products, following the instructions carefully and thoroughly, but none seem to get the smell of pee 100% out of the carpet - help!

I, too, am having this problem with my 7 month old rescue puppy. I've trained her to ring a bell attached to a cord hanging from the frond door knob when she needs to go out, and she's able to do this most of the time and pee & poo outside successfully, but sometimes she just chooses to pee in t...

I got my rescue pup 4 months ago, and she's approx. 6 1/2- 7 months old now, and I can't leave her alone because when I do she DESTROYS things! She's very smart, and apparently took note of everything she saw me putting in or on my mouth (ibuprofen, glucosamine chondroitin supplements, vitamins, som...
