Totally a personal choice. We decided to not let our Brit on our bed, but we let her on the guest bed (we don't have a lot of guests living near family, and in an apartment to boot... will most likely change that when we buy our house... but that's another story.) She is allowed on the couch, howeve...

Just watched a rerun of IMOTD - I believe the episode was called Girls vs Boys ~ as you can imagine it was a Mini who would bark/growl/run from the boys of the house and it was dividing the family. Please try and watch it! It's both of your exact situations!! In our family we overcame this problem b...

They can be controlled depending on *how* allergic. We have a cat and a dog and I am slightly allergic to both :) Zyrtec (OTC allergy med) is fine for me but there is also prescription meds and allergy shots - although it can take up to a year for the shots to start working. :| Correct me if I'm wro...

Yes, that's what I like the most! My husband and I always wonder about dog memory since we have a rescue who is also a very vocal dreamer This for sure shows that they have great memory!!

A new puppy is so exciting - we want to see pictures! :) As far as reprimanding, "Leave it!" is a GREAT thing to teach a puppy or any dog! It was one of the first things I taught our adult rescue because a sharp "No!" Would send her running back into her crate with tail tucked do...

Noobs,

I don't know really anything about feeding raw but it sounds like they are only concerned with the weight-bearing bone. Maybe you can cut the meat off the bone and feed that raw, or cook it and mix it in with dinnertime!
Or send it over this way, we like dark meat

There was a lot to read there, sorry if I missed this... Does she ever scream when you touch her/pick her up? I know she had that weird bathroom episode, but is mostly your husband? We rescued a timid Brittany that warmed up to me quick enough, but my husband could barely touch her, let alone put on...

"Touch" should be your next trick! More often known as 'targeting' this simple trick actually is a gateway to a LOT of advanced obedience - like freestyle dance, agility, etc. This is great too because it involves a few steps. First she has to touch your hand, then put a toy in your hand a...

Maybe you can put something flat on the top (like a 'T') so she cannot climb up and over. Or jump up and over. Might want to keep a close eye on her after you first set it up though, so just doesn't try to jump and just hit her head....

I first saw my girl reverse sneeze after coming home from a weekend at camp. She has mild outdoor allergies and so was probably just irritated from extra dust/pollen/whatever. It happened twice and hasn't again - she basically "froze" and looked like she was having trouble breathing! But a...

Really? One person is going to make you leave a forum you obviously enjoy?
C'mon now!

Fundog - perhaps a compromise? Half and Half And make it in really large batches so he doesn't think you're constantly cooking for the dog and not him! Hah!

Woah, is there legit truth to this? That it's a no-no to adopt siblings? I've seen plenty of siblings get along well perfectly well. Yes, they will skirmish like any human/animal siblings, but no threat more then a non-related. Not to say you should leave dogs together unattended, but this is the fi...

My Brit loves catching her kibble so I'll throw the pill to her randomly, usually flanked by pieces of kibble before and after. Hardly even notices... although with her fish oil she'll catch it, spit it out, then eat it off the floor. Maybe it just wasn't what she expected at first, hah. If for some...
