But if you are like many dog owners who live in a grassy area you would swear sometimes that your dog is an Angus. Dogs just lay out in the yard and graze just like a cow. Dogs explore their worlds with their noses and mouths. And there’s the grass, attractive, sweet-smelling, with an appealing texture; and it’s ever-so-accessible on the ground. Why not eat it?

Sorry I haven't been around for a few months, have had some personal stuff going on that unfortunately has meant me not being online hardly ever. I'm looking for some advice for a friend please.

She has a five year old red setter that has started attacking black dogs & is stuck with what to do about it, she's very upset & is even thinking about having him put to sleep as the most recent case was a labrador he attacked & the owner said she needs to control him & called him a dangerous dog that she cannot control. She presently has two setters & has always had setters. He is the first setter to behave this way & she's at her wits end at what to do. He's a strong dog so she cannot walk him purely on lead as he's too strong for her. She's tried the extendable leads, but he's broken them every time as he's too strong when he runs. Her other setter is seven but has a disease that makes her an old dog before her time, so walks are a struggle & she finds it hard to breathe. This is a problem due to the time it takes her to run to the dog as he doesn't listen when he has his sights set on another dog with the bitch with her on her lead.

She paid a lot of money for a lady to go to the house to help, but the lady said it was all about dominance & he needed to learn he was bottom of the pack, she told her to make sure he's fed last of all. This though did nothing to help the problem of him attacking black dogs when on walks & she felt it had been a total waste of money. She has bought him a muzzle now for when they are out so even though he will run at the dogs he cannot hurt them as he's muzzled. She's very upset as she loves her boy dearly, but doesn't know where to turn or what to do about his behaviour. Can anyone offer any advice or ideas at what else she can try as she is very worried it cannot be stopped & her only option is going to be to put her boy to sleep. Thankyou all in advance.]]>

Hello I am new here and wonder if anyone can help. I have a year old cocker spaniel/labby cross (more spaniel than Lab) and I have taught him to sit, give his paw and to lay down. The only thing he wont do is to stay. Also when he is off lead and there are other dogs around he decides whether or not to come when he is called If there are no dogs around, he will come.

Has anyone got any suggestions to getting him to stay and then to come back when called ?

He is a lovely dog and very affectionate. Harry is the first dog I have ever had I have always had cats. I currently have 3 cats, the eldest of w hich bosses him about, the youngest one (9 years) puts up with him and the other cat (10) Harry is rather wary of!

Look forward to hearing from you]]>

I have read everywhere on the internet chihuahuas are the hardest breed of dog to potty train. We got Lilly first, then a month later decided to bring her sister Angel into our home also. Lilly WAS potty trained. Now that Angel is here, she isn't. Angel is being a bad influence on Lilly. Now, my question is. How do we get Lilly back trained again, and also potty train Angel at the same time. I prefer the puppy pad option, due to the fact chi's have tiny bodies, and their bladders are tiny also. I am not happy with this menthod anymore. I need advise ASAP! We have also tried taking them outside to potty, but Angel has what we believe is a birth defect, and her left front leg is visibly smaller than her right one. She also limps alot so when we have taken them out, she refuses to take more than a few steps, we have picked her up and carried her to the grass areas. Still nothing! She refuses to potty outside. I am tired of picking up doo doo! I am totally frustrated!! Please ANY suggestions PLEASE. ]]> I have a question, I have 2 female, sister Chi's.
