Re: You know you are a dog geek when..
Ha ha! I totally relate to the vast majority of these posts :P You know those novelty personality quizzes that circulate FaceBook ("What StarTrek Captain are you?" &etc)? I take them first for myself... and then retake the quiz, answering each question according to how I image Charley ...

Re: Fish treat smell?
The onion is a beast of mystery :lol: Ha! "beast of mystery"! love it! :lol: microwave a halved lemon Good idea! I also save citrus peels (put them in a freezer bag) and simmer them in a small sauce pan on the stove to help with odors - if you don't mind a slight vinegar smell you can sim...

Re: Dog's own leg tries to steal bone
"America's Funniest Home Videos" - yeah, saw a different clip years ago that was clearly dog abuse and I can't think about it to this day without wanting to sob and scream at whoever was filming it and everyone laughing at the torture :( So I didn't watch the clip. But just wanted to say t...

Re: Peeing in her sleep
Hi Rachel - I'm so sorry that you and Pepper have to deal with this. I know how frightening it can be when our beloved dogs are facing any health struggle. Hang in there! The shock and panic will eventually subside, and I have no doubt you will be able to make a management plan for your Pepper! I ha...

Re: Puppy sits down
Hi there! This may be a stage in your pup's development, as the timing sounds like he could be in a "fear impact period" (Puppy development: http://positively.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1981 ) Could you give us some more detail? -- an overview of a day in the life of your pup? No d...

Re: My dog doesn't like foster dog
Hi there! If you haven't already, separate them - you don't want to end up with injuries or possibly a death. Is Khloe the same dog who didn't like a dog you adopted a year and a half ago? ( http://positively.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16095&p=116397#p116397 ) If so, what happened in that...

Re: Rescue dog terrified of other dogs
Hi there! Kudos for recognizing that your girl isn't at the point where she could handle a training class! I've been working with my dog-reactive/fearful dog for a few years now. In the beginning I tried a group class (bad idea, had to drop out), sitting on the outskirts of busy places, etc. None of...

Re: separation anxiety in new rescue dog
Hi there! Welcome to the forum! It's wonderful that you are looking for kind, positive strategies to help Maggie! From what I understand, there is a wide range/spectrum of "separation anxiety" - so could you add some more detail so that folks can get a better idea of Maggie's situation? - ...

Re: Vent!
Diane, I think your definition of 'warm weather' and the definition us Brits have is probably miles apart :lol: ! Haha, the ambiguities of the English language! Good point Diane about dogs in your neck of the desert :wink: It's different where I am - everyone has grassy yards. Yep, "warm weath...

Re: Frightful Shiba Inu
Hi there! Welcome! So glad you are looking for kind ways to help Kato with his fears! To get a clear picture of his situation, could you answer some more questions? -- How old was Kato when you got him, and how long have you had him? -- Has he had a complete vet check (blood panels, etc) and does he...

Warm weather walkers really annoy me! :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: I keep trying to work on my attitude and think, "well, it technically is possible that all these folks were walking their dogs all winter at different times of the day so I didn't see them while I was out freezing my face off for m...

Re: New rescue puppy 10 weeks old aggressive with food
Hi there - welcome to the forum! Where are you feeding your new puppy? If you aren't already feeding her by herself in a quiet, safe place away from your other dog, that's the first step. Food is so high in value, so make feeding time totally non-competitive by having her somewhere your other dog/ch...

Re: Fear Aggression and Reactivity
Hi there! Welcome! but the amount of people with out of control dogs who think it's okay to let their dog run up to, and jump on us is unreal. This is unfortunately a very wide-spread problem. My own little dog an I have been "charged" too many times (in my neck of the woods, usually from ...
