How can I stop this?<br /><br />Try to pick up the poop more. If she poops and it just sits there; and she is being kept in the kennel for a part of the day, then she is pretty much going to continue doing it. I've only had one dog that was really against stepping ANYWHERE he had recently pooped. Even after I picked it up,...

I've never liked electric fences for this reason. Any dog can be induced to go through an electric fence, no matter what setting you have the collar adjusted to. If the temptation on the other side is strong enough, the dog is very likely to go through. ...

From a Digestive perspective, dogs are wolves and there are no kibble trees in nature. Nor are their little elves slaving away at a stove cooking nice raw meats for the meat eaters in nature. Typically you... Mon, 03 Oct 2011 03:07:38 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11298450 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/10733611 My dog has suddenly stopped eating his food? Why? And what should I do?<br /><br />It's always a bit scary when a dog suddenly refuses to eat. As a rule, a dog will NOT starve themselves to death. However, there are many reasons a dog can "go off" their feed. The least problematic is that the dog has been accidentally spoiled. On rare occasions, when switching a dog from...

How do I stop being so needy of him?<br /><br />Change is hard for almost everyone, so you are in good company. Start with one day at at time. Tomorrow...DO NOT CALL your husband...not even once. Instead, go out and buy yourself a journal. When you feel compelled to call him, write down your question in the journal. Then, think about it...

How do I stop being so needy of him?<br /><br />Kind of a "catch all" label isn't it? I'd start by taking a good hard look at myself to see if there is any truth to what he is accusing you of. Do you "fall apart" over every little thing? Do you constantly demand that he add his two cents worth to almost every single decision you need to...

Do I have any recourse.<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. This is just a sad, sad situation. I would contact Animal Control and let them know about this.

Dogs and Cats (and Ferrets too) are all Carnivores. They are designed to eat RAW MEATS 80%, BONES 10% and ORGANS 10%. Dry dog food, (and even canned dog food) contains a lot of grain.

Her father is a mini pincher & her mother is a maltese. Can I overcome this?<br /><br />Without seeing your puppy in action, I wouldn't assume that the behaviors are actually vicious. It maybe simply acting like a normal puppy! As Iggypuck asks, about your pup having had the benefits to being left with the mom dog (and litter-mates too), please understand that puppies learn polite...

Beef does not cause constipation. TOO MUCH bone can cause constipation. Too much beef, too much organ meat (liver/kidney...for raw feeders Heart is considered a "meaty meat" not an organ meat) too much lamb, pork, bison,...

Help please!<br /><br />At six weeks of age a puppy should still be in transition from nursing to learning to eat solid foods. The average pup would not yet be eating straight solid foods, just yet.

It hasnt bit anyone yet. when you open the front door to leave or enter the house the dog charges you barking. when the owners are gone the dog runs.<br /><br />This dog has no manners and the owners seem pretty irresponsible.

In some places, I've even heard that it is opening the door to being sued if you DO post such a sign, because there are those willing (evidently) to put themselves at risk in hopes of a large settlement coming their way, when they DO get bitten.

Not everyday, but some days. ?<br /><br />Sorry, but if your young dog is having accidents in your house...he is NOT YET 100% fully house trained! Dogs that are fully trained to go potty outside....do it outside, unless they are sick, have a UTI, or other medical problem or are under some sort of really major stress situation. This...

Isn't it?<br /><br />As someone who has trained dogs and horses for 30 plus years....I can't agree with you at all.

I live in NJ, and I paid my last month's rent and paid on time every month I was there.<br /><br />It sounds like your prior landlord is either dumb or a greedy ass! As shared, a deposit is intended to be used for REPAIRS, CLEANING and things of that nature, NOT as rent. If you paid the ENTIRE month's rent and it was rented to a new person within 2 weeks, of your leaving...you may ALSO...

(Read question posted in answer)<br /><br />I understand the reasoning behind what the Landlord did, but I think it's a bit odd in someways too.

But my Fiance wants to dance with strangers too, even when I am there. I said that would make me uncomfortable. Why does my Fiance still want to dance with other people?<br /><br />Good question. I would prefer to dance (slow dances at any rate) with the one I love. My partner doesn't dance and isn't real interested in trying to do so. I dance alone, or would on occasion with someone else.

And our friends don't help. He knows that I like him, and I think that he likes me too, but he isn't up front about it. How do I make sure that he knows I want him.<br /><br />First off I kinda have to question that you WANT HIM. You don't REALLY KNOW HIM just yet, he hasn't really allowed you to get to KNOW him. He's not a new purse after all! You'll probably need to assume the responsibility of asking him out. But, I warn you, unless he warms up and SHARES some...

The dog would only be aloud to go outside and its very cold now so for the next 6 months she would basically have to always be in a laundry room except potty time.<br /><br />Yes, this is not only deprivation, but unnecessary as well! Labs are very hardy dogs, and even if your dog lacks the thick (slightly oily) double coat of a Lab, running about as a young dog should, even if on a long line will warm her right up!

Why does she keep brining these things up and why does she expect me to keep apologizing for them?<br /><br />I wouldn't think this bodes well for the future together. It's assuredly a red flag!

LOVE trumps CRUSH. It sounds to me like this guy is immature and comfortable having his cake and eating it too, so to speak. I would be very aware that while he is your baby's...

Or is she just being needy?<br /><br />I totally agree with others here. This is beyond needy. She needs to grow up and be supportive of your labor to do well...or she needs to hit the road and get lost! Tests are only for a short time in school, but there has been a good outlay of both time and money put into getting you to this...
