Re: teary eye
My little girl Bear has the same problem. I had to take her to the vet a couple months ago due to bumps on the edges of her lids. Vet said they looked like pimples and to wipe her eyes with warm wash cloth a couple times a day, They went away after a week or so. Just another thing to watch for with ...

Re: Ghost Alert! ?
I've posted this story before, but it is such a good one I have to post again... Years back my brother was in the bathroom when his dog Amber started barking and growling. He then hears a womans voice say "now hush Amber" and Amber did. My brother now starts calling out for my sister in-la...

Re: HELP PLEASE!!!
I would separate them. We had similar problem with our girl Bear and our male collie. We hired a behaviorilst to work with her. The more they fight, the more it is going to be ingrained in them. It took us 4 months of working with them to get Bear to accept Benny. We taught them to leave it, watch m...

Re: Chow Abuse
What about your future bro-in law? Isn't he helping care for the pup? If it was me I'd let them both know that I'd have no problem calling animal control on them. If possible, could you take in the pup? I'm a believer that if you are going to keep your dog (unless its a working dog) outside then you...

Re: why do people think chows are one of the most dangerous
You didn't say if your mom-in law is in the same town or if you have to travel to see her. With us, if we are at a relative in town we take 2 cars and one of us leaves early to "take care of the dogs". If it is an out of town trip one of us stays home, (we have 4 dogs, can't afford to boar...

Re: Chow vs. pittbul
Thank goodness your Atara came out of this uninjured! Two of my neighbors had pits (the owners of the male have since moved), the male pit 2 doors down busted through the fence and attacked the female pit next door. I watched in horror as they went at it. It took 4 people to break them up. I don't k...

Re: Resource guarding
We had a similar problem with our girl. Our behavioralist said to teach her the "leave it" command. We would have 2 different treats, one in each hand, and hold out the one treat and tell her to leave it. Once she turned her head away we would praise her and give her the other treat. Once ...

Re: dog on dog aggression
Hi Cam, Our behaviorilst put Bear on the Prozac. Bear was overly sensitive to any kind of stimulus and she would look for something to attack, which was usually Benny. Even when things were calm she would sometimes just walk up to him and attack. He gives her submissive signals but she doesn't read ...

dog on dog aggression
I posted some time ago about our chow attacking our collie. She has been on prozak for 2 months now and is much more mellow. She and our collie have been going to obedience classes together and are doing well. What I'm wondering about is decipline for aggression. Our trainer uses positive reinforcem...

I'm not as experienced with chows as many of the members here, but I just wanted to add my 2cents. I'm having the same problem with my 1yr old girl. She decided a couple of months ago that she has a serious problem with our collie. Up until then they were best buds. We are now working with a behavio...

Re: Violently Aggressive Chows.
I have an 11 month old spayed female who started attacking my male neutered collie 2 months ago. I am now working with a behaviorlist. There can be many reasons for aggression. I've discovered that Bear isn't reading Benny's signals. He is being submissive to her and she attacks him anyway. The 2 no...

It could be critters in the wall, but I've got to tell you something that happened to my brother. He was in the bathroom when his yellow lab went nuts out in the hallway. He called to my sister-in law thinking she had come back home (she had left for work). Anyway, Stacy didn't answer but my brother...

Re: chowling aggressive to collie
Thank you for the wonderful advice/information Victory. Talking with my husband, I think since we haven't had the dogs to any formal training classes, that might be a good place to start. Checking prices, we could take all three dogs to obedience for the same price as a couple sessions with a behavi...

I'd totally back you up if did give them the boot! I can't believe your folks allow this woman anywhere near the house! I've always said I prefer dogs over people. I have a sign by my door that says: "dogs welcome...people tolerated".

Well, Bear is still being aggressive to Benny. In fact, it's getting worse. Today I had to break up 3 fights and I was able to block 2 fights from starting. My husband doesn't have these problems in the evening while I'm at work. I'm thinking I must be the problem. Is she not seeing me as an Alpha o...

chowling aggressive to collie
My 10 month old little girl has become aggressive towards my collie. This started about 5 weeks ago. I have 2 other dogs, a Golden and a Collie, (they are both male). Both of the boys are submissive to her. Once a week Bear will walk up to my collie and just rip into him, which leads to a dog fight....

Re: Non-stop Itching
I recently had to take my smooth collie to the vet for what I though was a rash on his belly. It turned out to be impetiago, (hope I spelled it right). The vet put him on antibiotics for 10 days and it cleared right up. I asked him if it was contagious because we have 2 other dogs and he said no, bu...

Re: Need to have an Operation done to Our female chow
It's a common procedure for hip dysplasia. Our first Golden had it in both hips. We opted for the TPO, (triple pelvic ostiotomy). With that procedure they actually break the pelvis and use a metal bracket to line the ball and socket up. Something you may want to check into. The surgeon suggested thi...

Does anyone have a non-stressful way to remove mats from behind the ears? I used to have a rough collie who got them all the time. I used a dog clipper on him with no problem. I tried using it on Bear and she screamed like I was killing her! I also have dematting combs (the ones with the blades in t...
