My miniature schnauzer is about 9 months old. We also have a male dog. Well our female went into heat for the first time and they got together and mated. We took her to the vet and let her get the shot that is supposed to put her in heat for another week where she will not be pregnant. Well when we got home, I was putting a lock on my door to keep her contained, and they got together again! I called the vet and she said that it wouldnt matter as long as she did not mate the rest of the week because the shot took 24 hrs to take effect. Well we sent the male dog to my grandma and it has been a week today from when she got the shot. She still seems active but her nipples and vagina are still swollen, but she is not bleeding like she did when she was in heat. I called the vet again and she said that she is sure that she is not pregnant. Could this be a false pregnancy since she is a small dog?

I am looking to take my puppy to a puppy kindergarten class. She’s a beagle that is only 2 months. Does anyone know of any good dog training classes/puppy kindergartens in the near west suburbs of Chicago, such as Oakbrook, Hillside, Lombard, Elmhurst etc. I want a good solid training for her. Here are a few places I found but I can’t find any reviews on them… Has anyone attended any of the following classes? Did you like them? Or do you know of any other good place I could go?

My dog is a 10 year old miniature schnauzer and he never has had this problem before. He just recently (a couple nights ago) started pooping during the middle of the night when we are asleep. He is always on a consistent schedule and gets let out at least 3 times a day and I make sure that he poops at least once a day. He sleeps with us so I don’t think it is a matter of him being mad at us or anything like that. Any suggestions about what I should do?

It’s going to be dog training, dog & cat grooming, pet boarding, animal rescuing, as well as fish and birds for sale. I want something catchy and unique (not cheesy or childish) and with my name in it, like Renee_________, etc. The best name will get the 10 points!
