Brittaney asked: I am looking to get a dog. I live in a residence hall, so there would be college students frequently stopping by. I would like a dog that is good with strangers (doesn’t bark at knocking, won’t snap if someone pets it) and also is good with other dogs (so people with dogs can dog-sit). There is a 50 pound maximum where I live on how heavy the dog can be. It would also be nice if the breed is easy to train and groom. Any suggestions would be great

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!

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.

Doesn’t live here asked: We just got a pound puppy, he’s a bit over a year old. I’ve never had a dog of my own before so I am quite nervous.
I am wondering how much time dogs need to spend with people each day and what kind of time they need to chill out by themselves.
How long do you leave your dog alone for? Are you able to go out to the movies and the dog is ok? Is it ok to leave a dog inside alone?
Thanks for your tips!

coolallosaurus asked: I understand that there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog however, can anyone tell me some breeds that are less likely to trigger allergy attacks? I have asthma and am allergic to dog dander so I am wondering if there is a dog for me. Besides being allergy friendly, the dog should get along with cats. Is there any breed that will work?

Pam H asked:
I take my ex-husbands standard poodle for 1-2 miles walks. I feel so sorry for her having to live with him. It has been about 20-35 degrees here with 6 inches of snow on the ground. I see other people have little boots and coats for their dogs. Do dogs really need the boots and coats or is that more for the owner? Do dogs get frostbite on their feet?

Liv54 asked:
My dog is really sweet and loving towards all humans, but really seems to hate other dogs. She always try to attack them on walks and I am not sure what is causing this. She is only a Jack Russel, and she is a female so we are worried that she might get injured one day by another dog. She has never even tried to bite any humans. We got her from the pound, and she is about 2 years old. I am thinking about taking her to a training school, to socialize with other dogs. Do you think I should?

cchsdramachick asked:
One of my dogs has some social issues. She barks at the door bell, people and other dogs. She’s is very sweet to me though. Now we found a stray dog in our yard one day and had to help it. So now we have two and our first dog won’t get along with the stray dog. And we can’t give the stray dog away because no one will take him. If anyone has any advice on what I should do please help. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
