We use dog guards in both our Subaru Outback and our Suburban. We don't use crates in the vehicle, but if you do they need to be big enough for...
Lots of us use a puppy playpen, to keep the pup semi confined. Cooper's had a bed in one end and water in the other. I think she had the run of...
What are you cleaning the floor with? If it has ammonia in it, pups think it smells like Pee. Clean with soap and an enzyme cleaner, especially...
In our house much of the fur ends up in dust bunnies that catch in corners where the air currents push them. I pick them up with a battery powered...
Cooper loves to run, more than any dog I have had. Even at 6 she will make mad dashes across our back yard several times a day.
You should not be able to see her ribs, but an obvious waist is common with field style dogs. Cooper has a deep chest, and a decided tucked up...
Labs do shed quite a bit. If your wife is really worried about shedding, perhaps you need to look at a different breed. Poodles mostly don't...
Are you talking about the typical elbow callus, or something else?
Also, what did you clean it with.
Our dogs have always had the run of the house all the time, and with a dog door, access to our fenced back yard so they could go out if they...

Yes. But you also need to know what they mean.
I don't think I would be concerned if the parents of your pup have good scores. I don't see any link between your pup and the one that has hip...
We always talk about Hip and Elbow scores, but I wondered if there are any ways of checking or scoring ACL issues with dogs. I have actually...
My first reaction is that he knows your 7 yr old is too small to play rough with but thinks your 12 yr old is fair game. Most Labs learn not to...
There are several drugs that can help, but they are prescription and need to come from your vet. Sometimes they have significant side effects....
Last year Cooper decided that she did not want to go past the gate to our HOA at our cabin. It is just an arm like you see in car parks, but...
I would not want to train him to use a litter box in the house. It seems to me that it will make it harder to have him reliably house trained.
Take her out just before you leave and as soon as you get back. Leave her in a puppy pen, or puppy proof room while you are gone, with water and...
