First of all this has nothing to do with you and you sister. This has to do with
dominance issues between the dogs. This sounds like it could be related to food and
treats and could possibly be easily remedied by following some basic maintenance rules
at meal time AND/OR treat times. There

Period.

I break it up.
3) Not every male dog can tolerate other males or new males or young males

Hi Deborah,
Oh yes you have got a problem:-) Chessies are tough dogs and you and Henley
are the visitors, this is not a long term arrangement so you must honour
the house rules and fit in as best you can. I would not leave my male dog
neutered or otherwise alone in the company of an established
Hi,
When Doppo chased after the setter was he being aggressive or sexual? Was
there any vocalisation on his part? Studly behaviour on the part of young
males is usually a rush in and a jamming of his nose under her flanks or
crotch to which a female will object in a few differing ways. A mature
Thanks Rose, Thanks Eileen
Last night, one more nice long walk, came home with everyone happy and
relaxed and then, all of a sudden he was at her again. (I was getting dishes
into the dishwasher and noticed I had one to my right and one to my left,
and was thinking how peaceful they looked. : (

Renee,
I'm so sorry to hear about Bear, and I'll be waiting on pins and needles
with everyone else to hear what the Oncologist says. There is an article
about histio on my website, you can read it here:

Kim,
Thanks for making the effort, most people just email me to ask for help!
I think the problem with your commands is that you are sending them in

Hi Melissa,
I hope you had Loki's urine checked again and possibly a culture done.
UTI's can be particularly stubborn and sometimes a longer course of
medication with a specific antibiotic is required.
Rather than crate her in the event she still has some infection continuing

Hi,
If the vet has diagnosed viral papillomas then unless the warts are causing
problems with swallowing or breathing I'd just wait and see what happens. In
my experience the dog can have several of these papillomas that appear
overnight, then boom! they are gone completely and as suddenly as
If he ate river stones and is having diarrhea, he may have a partial
blockage. Whether he can pass the stones or not remains to be seen and I
would consult with a vet as a complete blockage could occur at any time
and result in emergency surgery. Better IMO to do surgery prior to a
complete block
Hi Cindy,
Yuck...not the kind of X-Mas present you want to wake up to...
The best resource I know of...and one that several surgeons refer people
to...is Laurie Bryce's website, http://www.lauriebryce.com/tplo/

Hi Cindy
Our boy Bacchus was diagnosed with a partially torn ACL when he was 4. It
came on very suddenly also, one day he was just laying there and moved and
yelped. When he stood up he was holding his right rear leg up. After
diagnosis from the vet, we kept him on leash walks and crate rest
Cindy-
My Berner girl, Toga, suffered a partial tear of her left ACL in
February of 2001 at the age of 3 1/2. It was a very minor tear and
wasn't diagnosed until May (everyone thought her mildly dysplastic hip
was bothering her). She had a TPLO (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy)
the first week
