Hi. I am hoping to adopt a puppy this year and am collecting information to help with planning. I grew up with dogs but haven't had one for many years. Can anyone tell me Is it okay for a 7 month old puppy to be alone for 5 hours--we do have two cats but there would be no humans--thoughts?

Im new here, not sure if I'm even doing this right, but oh well! I have a 3 year old male shih tzu (Jasper) and we just recently adopted a shelter puppy. She is a smooth collie mix (Fiona). She is only 3.5 months old so we do leave her crated when we aren't home for obvious reasons/until we...

Hi all, I was just looking for tips with training my 4 month Springer Spaniel to be fine when left alone. I've Google'd around and got a general consensus, but I'd just like to ask a few questions and run what I was planning with a few people before doing it, and thought here would be a great...

my husband and I just brought home our first dog - a 9 week old chihuahua. I know that's young to have her at home, but we do, so we need to take the best care of her we can. We took a week off work to hang out with her, get her used to our home and us, etc. We're working on potty training...

Hi, I've always wanted a dog and finally my family has all agreed that it is time to get one. I've been researching different breeds and I love West Highland Terriers and Cairn Terriers. Now the only problem is that I would have to leave the dog alone for almost 6 and a half hours 4-5 times a...
