Dogs and Puppies

slipy8787 asked:


I am doing a product design project for university and want to know what kind of problems do dog owners encounter when handling their dog ?

The problem will help give me a basis for my design development , where i have to design the product and make it.

Any comments would be greatly helpful

Kind Regards

Tom Just to add - the problem can be anything doesn’t have to be behavioral could be - I get hairs everywhere!

We are looking at a litter of 1/2 English, 1/2 American Labrador Puppies on Sat evening the 21st of April. (My husband works with the breeder).

The puppies will be 9 days old.

Should we pick our puppy right away based on appearance?

Or, should we go back later and pick a puppy when they have more personality?

This is our first time selecting a puppy from a litter, or a dog this young.

We have no clue if it even matters, so any advice is very welcome.

We are not new dog owners however, we are already owned by two lab mixes. One a year old and one 9 years.

Thank you!

I have 3 children ages 5, 10 and 14. They have been wanting a dog for years but we said no until we had out own house. Now we do. If someone could please help me pick a breed that is not nippy with kids and can be potty trained please. I do not need a puppy I am glad to get an older dog… Thanks!

I am curious to know what in door dog owners do with their dogs while they are away from the house. Do you put them in the garage, laundry room, or do you let them run free and destroy your back yard? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think so. There are so many ridiculous people out there and in this section. I mean it is common sense really and they are usually unprepared to handle anytype of dog care, because they cant afford it, are too lazy, and etc

My 6 month AB/Lab mix LOVES going to the dog park. We take her a couple times a week. But my husband wants to take her more often, I’m personally afraid she will pick up bad habits.

I have heard other dog owners say that their dog has become defensive or aggressive after incidents at a dog park. She has such a sweet and mild tempermant now and I worry she will change having too much interaction with some of these dogs. What do you think?
