Most dogs aren't socialized, aren't trained, and many aren't bred carefully. Like most people's pets, my collie mutt wasn't the product of a careful breeding program, has had zero formal...

I feel your pain, my dog does the same thing. I tried Rescue Remedy and the Thundershirt, and they both seemed to have a long-term effect. After using them a few times, she seemed to get less...

Isn't a curled tail one of those traits that dogs get once you start mixing, ie, not a sign of a particular breed most of the time? I see possible collie in the face, but agree that Akita could be...

We're almost done the initial month of twice-weekly Adequan injections. I haven't seen a "miracle" change, but up till today I'd have said she did seem to be easier getting up/down. Today, a...

Yes, they're very realistic. When they took a direct shot to the PR chest with the Darla Napoli killing, they immediately took a "all dogs are animals" approach to explain how one of their biggest...

You lost me at Bad Rap. The name alone indicates they're part of the problem, by emphasizing the idea that the issue is misunderstood victims of media bias. And please - they're great for not...

That's very possible, considering that a huge number of "lab mixes" today are pit bulls. Go on Petfinder, and there are a lot of mixes that claim to be anything but pit bull, and are clearly pit...

We disagree profoundly on this issue, very obviously. Please do me the courtesy of accepting that my position is not based on ignorance and refrain from telling me to educate myself. It's...

This is the most telling thing about the pit bull argument. Pit bull fans want the support of the whole dog-owning world, and yet they make this argument over and over, shamelessly, openly, without...

Some people are inherently rather aggressive or bold or reckless or confident - pick your word - and launch into new situations without a backward look. But those who aren't - like these kids -...

:lol:

I don't think you overreacted, in so far as even a small dog can seriously hurt or kill an infant or small child fairly easily, so grabbing away a dog who's behaving 'off' is wisest, and it's...

I read somewhere that dogs REALLY hate to get their heads wet, so the last time I bathed mine I didn't get her head wet until the very end and voila - much less drama.

So we disagree on one thread, you find me on another and lough at loud at the story of my dog nearly dying? You're a very ugly person.

Oh, come on. Look at how many Petfinder ads are for pits who aren't 'good' with other dogs. And I'm not saying this Red isn't a nic edog, but I've seen roughly a gazillion videos and photos of pit...

Had to butt in - the whole concept of breeds means that yes, you CAN generalize. And apart from that issue, when pits are aggressive, it's a worse situation because they hang on and they have the...

I'm not sure you understand the whole 'internet forum' idea. If you want expert advice, you generally need to pay for it. If you just want some input on your problem/idea/complaint, you go online...

I'm sorry about your dog. My dog was mauled by one too and I'm a big skeptic about the pitty wuvvers brigade. But apart from the fact that Vick directly tortured and created his own mentally f'd...

I was skimming one of Philly's 'alternative' newspapers - you know, the kind that spent 8 years with BUSH SUCKS! headlines, have 14 pages of band reviews in every issue, and ads for big-assed women...

Ever think of putting out a bowl of dog treats for the guests to feed the dogs? It might decoy the humans away from feeding bits of people food, and the less desirable biscuits might make the dogs...

Work crushes! I had a work crush on a gay guy at my last job. My field tends to the feminine, so he was pretty much the only game in town. And what else are you going to think about all day? Your...

Any experience with dogs and adequan? I am going to try this with my dog in January, and curious about the experiences out there. I don't expect a huge "she was a puppy again!" reaction (partly...

I've been working at a new company for about 6 months and I've slowly grown to dislike my new coworkers. They're all seemingly pleasant, normal middle-class types without really horrible cubefarm...

The older I get, the more my reaction to cash scandals is "Jeez, how can I get in on one of those?" Not seriously, but I do get the OP's disgust with how scum get ahead and I seem to - not. I just...

I've never owned or been attacked by a machine gun, but I have an informed opinion that they are more dangerous than butter knives. And yes, offering a criticism or opposing viewpoint can cause an...
