I’ve grown up in a town where muzzling restricted breed dogs wasn’t enforced, but I have recently moved to a town where it is enforced, so I don’t know what does and doesn’t classify as a public place in which I would need to muzzle my dog in. She doesn’t have any behavioural issues, and is...

I have a beautiful 6 month old ridgeback X Bull Arab. She was a rescue dog and we got her at 4 months old. All round she’s quite a well behaved dog but she constantly chews my roommates things. If she wears a pair of shoes, my dog will eat them, if she leaves her things in the lounge room, my...

We have had dogs for all 48 years of our marriage. Our most recent were these three: a 19 year old shih tzu, a 9 year old shih tzu and a 9 year old? puppy mill rescue havanese. The 19 year old recently went to the bridge. We then rescued a 1 year old poodle mix, Louie. He bit me on our first...

Our one-year old lab had to go in for surgery last night because he ate a rock. Despite me monitoring him in our newly fenced-in yard, it still happened. Unfortunately, there is really no way to remove the rocks...there is dirt underneath our deck (endless digging will produce rocks) and rocks...
