Petsmart
On their website - under the contact us link that you will find at the bottom of the page - they have contact information for both the individual stores, and their corporate headquarters. It would seem to me that your first step would be to make them aware of what you have been hearing and what you ...

A question about crate training
Rusty is my 2 1/2 year old JRT/Shiba mix. I have had him since October. We have recently moved, and he seems to be struggling with being left alone in the new house (as indicated by his anxious greeting when I arrive home, as well as the snarfle all over the window.) I believe that part of his issue...

Hi, Nettle. Thanks for your asking. My response to Rusty's taking something he shouldn't have depends on what it is. If it's something relatively harmless, like a sock, I'm pretty ho-hum about it. When it is something like my cell phone, however, I'm pretty well racing to the fridge to get him a goo...

Treat obsession
My 2 1/2 year old Jack russell/(shiba inu?) cross is an extremely bright dog. He has picked up on obedience commands in record time, and enjoys figuring out tricks I work out for him with the clicker. (He's learned to do figure 8's through my legs, to stand on his hind legs and give paw and other pa...

it takes time
My Rusty was very much the same when I got him about 3 1/2 months ago. He will always want to sniff - he's a dog, after all, and that's how they get information about their world. The technique I found most useful with the stopping and staring is the body block. That is, I put my body between him an...

fleas
If you have a problem with fleas in your yard, diatomaceous earth is a powdered product you can spread that will take care of both fleas and their eggs. It isn't a poison - it simply causes the pests to dehydrate - so there is no worry about chemicals harming you, your dog, or the environment. The o...

How much praise is enough?
My dog can be a terror with his attention seeking behavior - most specifically, he will steal things and then play "keep away" with them, or choose to chew on inappropriate objects (the throw pillows from my couch, cushions from my kitchen chair, a shoe or a sock if one is left within reac...

puppy
One thing that I've found that has helped my dog get away from taking and chewing on things is to give him plenty of mental exercise. I've used the clicker to teach him a touch command (he has to touch my hand) and other forms of targeting (a stick, a pencil, one of the tendon chewies he isn't very ...

A very funny dog story
Thought you all might get a good laugh out of this story about me and my dog. Rusty is my 2 1/2 year old Jack Russell mix. He's a great dog and very bright - perhaps too bright for his own (or my) good. I'm renting a house right now, but we will be moving into our own home at the end of the month. I...

Thanks for the replies
Thank you very much for all your replies. As was mentioned by a previous poster, the umbilical lead would be in addition to regularly scheduled toileting times, not in place of them. I'm also hoping it will cut down on some of his attention-seeking behavior. I can leave him alone in the house, and n...
