My poodle mix will get a little snarly when his back end and ears are being groomed (even when I am doing it). As soon as I was made aware of this by the groomer, I just had them put it in his notes to use a muzzle. I figure that it doesn't hurt him, so it should just be part of his grooming...

I don't think I have ever seen Rambo turn into something, but he is always jumping up while he is UNDER something! Usually he is under the table and tries to jump up into a chair and hits his head on the table. Earlier today I was putting dishes away and he jumped up while he was standing...

Yucky weather has had the dogs in the house all day for the last couple of days. The lab is content to lay on his bed and sleep or chew a kong and the poodle is getting older and he just sleeps all day anyway. Not Rambo! Oh no! He has to harass the other two all day and protect me from...

I would keep moving. I know you are concerned with your dog, but consider the golden and its owner for a moment. Would you want something that drove your dog nuts to stop and continue aggravating it? Since both of your methods are fine for your dog, I would choose the one that...

Rambo has only a few bad habits. 1. Tries to dig a hole in my bathroom throw rug (I think this is really quite cute, but I know it won't be when I buy a new rug that I care about) 2. His shoelace fetish (simple fix- put the shoes away) 3. BARKING---- it's really getting out of hand...

Or is it just my Rambo? 1. To drink, he always lays on his stomach beside the bowl. 2. He insists on being on the arm of the couch or on the back across my shoulders instead of laying in my lap. (My son says he is a "parrot-dog") 3. He will flip over his food bowl and eat off the...

I have a lab mix and a sheltie and they are fine together. Rambo did get roughed up a couple of times until he learned how to avoid getting stepped on by Cricket (the lab). But Rambo also had to learn to avoid MY feet too! When we got him, Rambo was 3 pounds and Cricket was 45 pounds and...

Rambo is almost 10 months old. How long do you all think he should be walked? We went 1/2 mile today and he didn't seemed phased. It was enough for me though because he is still learning to walk nicely on lead.:rolleyes2:

Thanks for the replies! I feel better hearing that other dogs are the same. His ribs feel perfect to me... I can feel them if I try but they have a little meat over them.

Good for you for e-mailing the councillor! I would imagine that they want the gardeners to remain on good terms with the people of the neighborhood. Whoever is in charge of setting up the gardens should know that this lady has caused trouble. Maybe there have been other incidents with...

I was petting Rambo today and noticed that I could feel his backbone and hips! He gets fed twice a day, according to the package directions (Iams mini chunks) and he never eats it all. Is he just in a lanky, teenage phase? I couldn't get my lab to hold any weight until she hit about a...

So I seem to have "inherited" my sons sheltie. He moved out and got a puppy to keep him company. Then he decided to move back in because it was no fun working all the time just to barely make ends meet. (He is in college full time now!) I am just glad he brought home a four-legged baby...
