We had a fire tonight and brought the dog out to sit and enjoy it. Apparently the dog refuses to sit or lay down on the ground, even though he was very sleepy. First, he squeezed himself into my youngest son's folding chair.....

Octav1 Of course she does! She has her own armchair where she sleeps when she doesn't want to be bothered. She usually sleeps on our bed, but when she wants to rest peacefully, without being disturbed, she goes and sleeps in her own armchair. It's funny that she...

Before I could bring Turbo home I had to take my cats to the vet to update their shots. So we're at the vet, and the 2 cat carriers are sitting on the floor, when a woman walks in with her full grown rottweiler. What a scary...

Octav1 Of course poor Bella got scared of the cat! She didn't expect the cat's reaction, so it was a total surprise to her. Gentle giants like Bella can get scared, too, it is nothing unusual in this. Would you preferred her to bite the carriers, to tear them up and...

That's me and my huge dog playing hide and seek out in the garden. It's funny how dogs could be both playful and serious at the same time, which makes them all the more adorable and huggable. One type of activity my dogs and I do...

Octav1 Of course we enjoy playing with our dog! And she loves that moments, too! She has a funny way of telling us she wants to play: she has that playful look that tells us everything! She usually asks me to play, because she knows my wife is quite busy and she...

Octav1 I like when I take our dogs at the country side. There, people are not used to see house dogs like ours, so they tend to be afraid of the dog (she's quite big, you know). So even if she's the most playful and lovable dog in the town, in the countryside she...

Yes, we needed a new puppy because our oldest dog has become sickly a couple of weeks ago. We named the puppy Kovu after a character in the movie Lion King. Our eldest bullmastiff is named Pumba. We have two bullmastiffs already,...

Octav1 I love dogs and my wife does so, but we both agree that one dog at a time is more than enough for a household. For me dogs are like children and they need all our attention. If we had two dogs or more, our attention should divide so all of our dogs benefit...

I just gave my dog a treat and he chewed it for a while then went outside and buried it. I know he did because he came back with dirt all over his nose . Why do they do this do you think? Does your dog do anything...

Octav1 You know, at the moment she hid the bones under the cushions, they weren't smelly at all! But letting them lie there for days changed things.

Octav1 Instead of hitting the dog, he should better learn how to work with the dog like you do. Have you taught him how to exercise the things you've taught the dog? I wonder why people get dogs if they don't understand them and treat them like slaves?

Octav1 Some dogs can handle heat easier than others. Short muzzle dogs suffer more because of the heat. Dog owners must be very careful with their dogs during hot days. There are people who let their dogs inside the closed car, to go shopping. This could kill the...

Octav1 Our dog never did this. She eats everything she gets. But our previous dog used to bury her bones under the armchair cushions. Sometimes we didn't see her doing so and after some days we were wondering what was that bad smell. You are...

Last night while I was buying some canned goods in the nearby store, I suddenly heard a cracking sound then I turn my head across the street, I saw a dog being hit by a bus. It was really dead on the spot. Just imagine it for...

Octav1 I feel sorry for the poor dog. At least he died on the spot and he didn't suffer. There are hundreds of dogs that suffer for days after being hit by cars, and they eventually die because of the injuries. I wonder where was that dog's owner when the accident...

Octav1 I don't really think it is a torture. But it doesn't help him too much. If the weather is hot, he will feel more warmth, because his coat is used to regulate the body temperature. If the weather is cold, he will feel cold and he will need a piece of cloth to...

Octav1 Hmm, to shave the dog only because there was hair everywhere? I don't see this as a solution. The dog must have been checked to see if there isn't a skin condition that caused that loss of hair. If he was healthy, regular combing and brushing would have been...

Octav1 Don't give up! You'll succeed now that everyone understood the rule must be respected. I have a suggestion for you: if he refuses the food in the morning and early noon, make a small portion of food for the dog's dinner. He will be really hungry in the...

Octav1 I am so sorry for your loss! I suppose he has some viral infection that is not uncommon for puppies under the age of 6 months. Was your dog vaccinated against parvoviruses and distemper? I don't know how is is in your country, but in my country it happens...

We have a puppy which is a mixed breed. He is about 3 months old. So the other day we noticed that he was eating his own flesh. Has anyone heard of this?

4 responses

Octav1 I never heard of a dog eating his own flash. I wonder what do you mean by "eating his own flesh". You probably saw him licking a wound or something. This would be a normal behavior for a dog, to clean his own wounds. Or you saw him scratching himself with...

Octav1 You do have a problem there if not everybody in the house understand what "consistency" means. Dogs know how to take advantage of our weaknesses. Once your dog learnt he will receive other food if he doesn't eat his own food, he will always wait...

Octav1 I am not sure about the gender of your dog. Now you say it's a "she" and she's having a menstruation, then you call your dog "him". So I'm a little confused. Supposing that it's a girl and she's in heat, I suggest you to be very careful with the presence of...

Octav1 You know there are many so called "dog trainers" that have nothing to do with dogs. They don't understand the dog and they only do some tasks that they've learned mechanically. You can see that by the way the dog works with them. With a dog trainer that...
