Re: Teenage Chow Challenging Authority

Miss V- My apologies. My intentions were not to freak you out. They were to let you know what possibly could happen. Not that it would. It's called a precaution. Dogs do bite, even non psychotic dogs. That's because, oh my, their dogs!!!! This forum is for anyone to write in with issues to try to he...

Re: Teenage Chow Challenging Authority

Excellant comments Victory, Laura, Cocoa. One comment- spraying your chow in the face is very, very disrespectful. This will get you nowhere with her trust.

Re: Teenage Chow Challenging Authority

I just had an idea when I read Chowpups comment on their vet doing the dips. Maybe your vet can dip her once a week if that is an option for you. That way she won't associate you with doing something bad to her. Then she would have no reason to bite you. One thing I do know is Chows do not forget. I...

Re: Neuter After Care Question

I know when I got Matilda fixed I picked her up late afternoon and was told to start her meds the next day. I would error on the side of caution if uncertain. If you see that he is really uncomfortable then I would call his office even if it is afterhours. They usually have a phone number that someo...

Re: Teenage Chow Challenging Authority

From the way you describe how the trainer uses the choke collar (really, really uses the choke chain), I think it might be to much. I don't think Slush much appreciates this. I think her actions prove that. She is trying to tell you I don't think so. As far as the bath if she has been ok up to this ...

Re: Not feeling well ??? how to tell

Seems like a normal chow to me.... This is not unusual. Matilda starts out at night upstairs with me and at some point in the night ends up going down stairs to sleep on the tile in the family room. I keep our house at 66 at night and this is something she has been doing ever since we brought her ho...

Re: Problems with walking :(

I most definately understand MissV what your are describing..... Matilda is 7 months old and within the last couple of months she has started pulling, pulling, pulling. She had no desire to pull before this. I suppose it's an adolescence thing. I walk her everyday for about 30-45 minutes and she abs...

It was at my parent's farm. Sorry to be blunt, but when you have a garden, eliminating vermin and rodents is a necessity. Doing it all natural is the best way,wouldn't you agree?
