Dogs and Puppies

truebluewolf asked:


I love Golden Retrievers but I would like to get into another breed. My mother in law has labs so I would like something different. I don’t care if it is a small dog or a big dog but I love the personality of Golden and I can not find a dog that is as perfect as a Golden. I want it to be good with kids and all people and other animals, dogs and cats alike. I want it to be loving and loyal and very playful. I want it to be sweet and gentle. Is there such a dog?

I live in California and have two small children. The people behind us just moved in and build a dog run up against the bordering fence. They also placed the dog house against the fence and the dog is trying to get over to my yard.

These dogs bark & growl all day long. If they make it through the fence or over the fence. Do I have the right to shoot the dogs?

the day before i adopted my dog she was bitten on the nose and head by a doberman (she’s a lab/beagle). She’s great with people and is not aggresive at all with humans. She will not chase after other dogs, but if one tries to play with her or sniff her she will try to attack them. How can i socialize her out of this habit?

Some people prefer to feed there dogs any kind of bone…Although others prefer to feed there dogs only milk bones. Is it bad to feed regular bones to dogs?

I live in a neiborhood where more than 50% of people have dogs. More and more people are buying dogs and letting them outside without leashes and chains while they are inside, or when they are not even there. Just last week, I almost got attacked by a dog that ran across the street to attack me while I was walking. A majority of the dogs are big, but even the small ones try to attack me. What is the best way to protect yourself from dogs when walking? Any tips or advice? Thank you.

I have 2 timid golden retrievers and neither barks, One is 5 and the other 2 years old. They are wonderful dogs, but have never barked.While I don’t expect them to be guard dogs, I would like them to make some noise when people come to my house.

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.

My dog is 13 years old. She is a golden retriever and she has arthritis in her legs. She is a very kind dog and cannot do too much anymore. I am thinking about getting another dog along with her. What kind of dog should I get who wont bother or pester my dog? A dog that she can get along with. People have suggested a small dog, not another golden because I know that they are rowdy when they are young. Can anyone help?

I have a great dane and am getting a small dog (12 pounds). He is very considerate of other dogs when socializing. But- just in case I would like to ask anyone who has a big dog and small dog how they got there big dog to be considerate (not step on, not bite, and to be easy playing) of the small dog. I would like to know about how people taught their big dogs that. Also I would like to ask how to introduce a big dog to a small dog. We are getting our small dog second, since we already have a big dog. Does that make a difference? Thank you.

My dog is a minituare Schnauzer, but he’s really big for a minituare. Well my dogs problem is that he always barks and growls at other dogs, even ones that are twice his size. He can’t confront other dogs because there either scared of him, or they get pissed off at my dog. There are only a few dogs my dog confront calmly. I think my dog only growls because he’s excited, because once he meets the dog he’s very gentle and just sniffs around. How do I fix my dogs problem, I know one way to fix it is to get another dog for him to play with. But my family does not want another dog.
It’s hard to introduce him to dogs because people just walk away at my barking dog lol.
