I want a dog that will be my good buddy. One that will follow me everywhere, wants to be with me always, and likes to be trained and exerised alot. The rest of my family likes dogs, but they really just want it to be my dog. So this is kinda gonna be a one person dog. So, in you opinion, which one is the most
what I want. Which one is smarter, wants to please the most and is easy to maintain.
Thanks!

I am pretty satisfied with commercial dog food and I have no problem sticking with it, but I would just like to know how to make nutritional homemade dog food. My dogs are a golden retriever, beagle, and dachshund if that information is needed. I would like advice also, like what supplements to put in the food, and the right portions, and a professional website would be the best. I don’t really want just homemade dog food that isn’t any better than commercial dog food. Please help out. Thanks.

I adopted a second dog about 2 months ago. Both dogs sleep in the guest bedroom, and our new dog hides out there all day, while our other dog loves being out in the living room or wherever we are at. New dog is about 3 years old Golden Retriever/Chow mix. Other dog is about 1 year old German Shephard mix.

I have a 6 year old golden retriever who thinks he’s 6 months old! He’s pretty well trained at home but once we’re on the other side of the fence he turns into a big goofy dog.

We walk along a boardwalk regularly and there isn’t enough room to steer clear of other dogs so I’d like to be able to train him walk past them with some manners and dignity!

Can anyone help with some training tips?

Im looking to buy a really cool dog for my first dog. Something that is sort of medium in size that can be very loyal and playful. I have a golden retriever and i love it so maybe something a little bit smaller. Jack russel terriers are also really cool, so maybe something a little bigger. So in between those two is my range, and those are the biggest and smallest sizes of dogs i will go buy.

My dog was running around with another dog in my apartment building and they got in a little fight. He’s a boston terrier and the other was a golden retriever. The golden bit him a little, my dog didn’t bark or anything and it was over as soon as it started. He’s got a little bald mark on his head, and two marks on his back. Right after the fight my dog was still trying to play and jump around, so I’m pretty sure he’s fine and doesn’t seem hurt at all. He ate and drank water once we came in, and is still trying to play so I’m assuming he’s fine, but I’d like to know how to clean these marks so they hopefully won’t scar or get infected. Thanks for your help!

I got a golden retriever puppie about 2-3 weeks ago. She was fine whenever we brought her home, she was playful, and like any other golden retriever, loved to play fetch at 2:00am. Well about Monday this week, she stopped eating and we realized she hadnt been eating. I took her to the vets and they diagnosed her with Parvo. They said they could keep her in the hospital and try to help her, but i knew that i couldnt afford that, so i went with my other option, i took her home, and i’ve been nursing her back to health. Or, so i hope back to health. She seemed a lot better this morning, but im still worried about her outcome. It’d just make me feel better if i heard some things that i could do to help her feel better and hopefully make her better.
Gigi’s okay now. She started eating again about Thursday, and now she’s back to normal, with the exception of a few tired spells. Other than that, she’s fine now. I’M SO HAPPY!!!

Tirzah’s Mom asked:


I have a 10 week old Golden Retriever puppy and a 7-year old cat. Unfortunately, the puppy seems to think the cat is a play-mate or a toy, and matters are made worse by the fact that the cat runs every time the puppy comes after her with tail wagging. Of course, that means the chase is on! I’ve tried scolding the puppy, “leave it”, keeping them separated, and even scaring the puppy with a shaker can. All of those methods work for a second or two, but as soon as kitty catches the puppy’s eye again, off they go with me trailing after them. I never leave them loose in the same room unsupervised, but the damage appears to have been done. My puppy just seems to think the cat is something to chase, which my cat does not appreciate at all. Any suggestions as to how I can get my puppy to stop chasing the cat?
