borgerm asked:

I have a golden retriever that just had puppies. When do I need to make sure the puppies are not going to the mom for milk anymore. Right now they are 8 weeks old. We are feeding them constantly puppy food. But, whenever they get a chance they always want to go to mom for milk. When does that need to be totally cut off?
Also, her breasts are hanging way down. Will they come back to normal after the puppies are gone?
I am not sure where in my question it said “I didn’t think about when to ween them” before breeding. I am trying to balance her being able to play with the puppies and the puppies suckling on her when ever they get an opportunity. The puppies seem to be very healthy I am more worried about the mom. Thanks,

She is a 3 year old dachshund and the owner has her brother as well. Both are spayed . Her brother does not eat the newspaper like his sister does. Both eat the same diet and the same amount. The newspapers are layed down by the doggie door but both are house broken so the newspapers are there for their feet coming in and out. As soon as they eat their kibbles she goes over to the newspaper and tears and eat some, but not a large amount.

Sandra B asked:


I have 2 questions.

Do they shed [ Like does their hair fall off everywhere ]?
Because im going to get one 2mooro, and my mom doesn’t want the responsibility for cleaning up all of the pet hair.

And second, are they pretty good with people?
Like are they good dogs, as in are they lazy, or really outgoing?
Because im looking for a dog, that fit’s most people’s personality’s, and so far the Yorkshire Terrier is the best for me.

Please answer if you have a Yorkshire Terrier, cause i need some help.
Thanks (:

faultylovexx asked:


I was reading signs of aggressiveness in dogs and these are the ones that apply to my own dog

* Excessive barking;
* A tendency to snarl, growl, or snap to protect food;
* Overprotectiveness of possessions;
* Fearfulness in new situations or around strangers;
* Frequent attempts to chase moving objects such as bicycles, skateboards, cars and trucks;

I hardly invite people over or take him anywhere because he gets out of hand so fast. He is a 7 year old pug. Is there anyway to socialize him or help with his aggression at this point? What can I do?
He doesn’t snap much over food, just once in awhile if he gets a hold of a chicken bone or something, usually I just yell at him and lightly smack his nose to get it from him.

PomeranianLuver asked:


I want my pomeranian to learn how to fetch, so that he will be active, and loose some energy. I know pomeranians aren’t drived to fetch, so is there a way to teach them? How did you teach your dog?? He is only 4 months old, but he is smart, and already knows how to sit, stay, laydown, and come!

Thanks
I also want to teach my puppy to leave it, and drop it? Any ideas?

bigskycaninetraining asked:


Do you prefer:

A positive trainer who uses postive motivation and clickers

A trainer who was a military/police dog trainer

A trainer who promises fast results using methods that include a choke chain or electric collar

A trainer who belongs to a reputable dog training association
I am a trainer and I am looking for public opinions. Just to clear that up for those who find the question strange.
I am talking about YOU as an individual, YOUR opinion whatever you are looking for in a trainer. Not what you recommend others.

if it’s any help, she’s a picky eater, a real trooper and got the usual shade of color for a beagle.
Mel P. I had this question asked for the mere intention of getting ideas of what to name my new pet dog. Its entireky up to the person whether to give out the name of his/her pet name. You don’t have to answer this if you don’t want to. That’s your discretion.

tubaelf asked:


I have a boxer that is about a year and a half old. He is in no way a mean dog but he seems to have the stereotypical obsession with cats. He will look out of the window for hours at a time just to see one, and pulls at the leash if he sees one on a walk. He is very calm much of the time, and I try to give him enough exercise.
