i know.... its hard to make him happy... the only things that make him happy are walks, eating food with out having to work for it and lots of attention

ok thanks =D

Ok. yesterday i had him try to jump over a low jump. Some really short kid chairs on their sides like a horizontal jump. only a foot or 2 off the the ground. he had no problem with it but he always tried to go around it even when i had him on his leash with treats for him...

i have tried that as well. he just sniffs the cup and walks away. he is a smart dog but he doesnt want to work for treats to often. When i am home with him, all he does is whine and pace through the house. I try different things with him but he doesnt want to do alot of it

unfortunately, he was not socialized as he should have been when he was young. We adopted him when he was about 5 years old and he is aggressive towards most dogs. There are only 1 or 2 dogs he can get along with. I have also tried the treadmill method, but he is afraid of it. all e will do is sniff...

sadly, hes not a dog who plays with toys. and i havent heard of any dog park in my area but i will definately look.

My dog dusty loves exercise. Any time we go on walks, he stays at the end of his leash pushing to go faster, running any chance he gets. He also paces through the house, running to the door any time i get up out of a chair or we pass by the front door. Ive been thinking about possibly getting him in...

My dog, dusty(part blue heeler/alaskan husky/american eskimo)(medium sized, about 9 years old) is always bored. I havent been able to walk him the past few days as I have been really sick. On most days it has been to hot (100+) to walk him. I have been wanting to do activities with him so he can get...

can this be part of my dogs everyday exercise? he isnt interested in any toys or frisbies/balls like other dogs. i thought that if he was, his life might be a bit more exciting

I have had a few dogs that we have bought from breeders (cocker spaniel and a chihuahua). i was wondering the difference in personality traits in "bred to be sold" dogs like the ones above, and those that are saved from shelters? The cocker we had bit everyone in the house, and was very ro...

perfect thanks!

i found that the only thing i did wrong was let him come to me for the treat.

thanks again

i have adopted most of my animals from shelters except for my 11 year old tabby cat, and ive only bought small animals (cockatiel and mice) from the pet store. I think that rescuing from shelters is the best thing i can do, but what about rescuing an animal from a pet shop? there is a pet store near...

the only thing i can currently think of is that if you were to keep him outside for a long period of time (with food and water and in fair weathered conditions) that he would need to go at some point. if he goes in the yard of some where outside, you can give him praise and treats. if you do that ea...

my dog is always anxious to do something or go somewhere, but i dont always have the time to take him someplace, and i hate seeing him in a high strung state of mind. ive seen on victoria's show that you can rub a dogs chest slowly and lightly to calm them down. ive tried that tequnique quite a few ...
