Dogs and Puppies

lala h asked:


I recently lost one younger dog and the older dog has howled, whined and begged to sleep with me, all things that she has never done before the other dog’s death. The death was sudden and the older dog seems really sad. Am I crazy?

George asked:


I am buying a dog soon, but know that in the summer I will not be home, so the dog is going to be sent to a dog hotel. This hotel has a lot of space and every dog will be walked and trained for obedience individually every single day. Also it will be socialized with other people and dogs.

My question is Is the dog going to be loyal to me when I come back, will it remember me?

Ace asked:


I just started a job with the electric company as a meter reader, which frequently requires me to go into people’s back yards, dogs or not. For some reason dogs have always liked me, even shy or usually aggressive ones. However I’m know that some dogs are going to bite no matter what. I’m sure every dog is different and that there’s no hard and fast rule, but generally speaking what are some signs that a dog isn’t just all bark and no bite? And is there anything you can do to discourage them? Thanks!

My dog has been the best behaved dog ever, for 5 years, until the other day, where she bit four people

Dog Lover asked:


I’m not a first time dog owner, but I’m curious to see what people would suggest to one that is completely new to dog ownership?
Loving the answers so far! You guys have some good points as well.

Lillana: Actually there are quite a few smaller breeds of dogs who need quite a bit of exercise as well.

Michael the Archangel asked:


I would like to get a canine that serves multiple purposes. I would like it to protect my family and home. I also have milk goats and I would like it to be able herd them in from the field. It should be a breed which is a good pulling dog for helping transfer the milk, bottled and in a cart, from the barn to the home. Finally I will take the dog hunting and have him gaurd the camp while I’m out in the field. . . it will not participate in the actual task of hunting. It should also be good with young children as we have a 3 year old granddaughter. Can I find a well rounded dog breed that can meet these requirements in one dog? If so, which one and if one sex is prefered over another, which would be better.

anthony asked:


I am planning on getting a new dog in the near future and was wondering what is the best dry dog food that doesn’t cost too much and is actually good for the dog without too many fillers. I am specifically talking about supermarket and pet store brands so I can find them easily.
