Best/Worst liked Dog Breeds

If she could control herself enough to make it outside I would gladly stand in the rain for a few seconds to avoid her indoor bowel nonsense.

If I do manage to get her to go out into the terrifying drizzle of a spring shower she cowers for a while and tries to come back inside so she can defile the kitchen floor. Or she just runs away. She's an idiot.

Dogs learn their behavior from their owners......so.....stop pooping in your kitchen.

[rjs246]

Never.

Rain doesn't make me have to poop, but for whatever reason every time I'm around a pool, lake, or beach I almost instantly have to shtein.

Thanks for the update wolfman.

My dog Raven is 10 now.  That's old for a Rottie.  She's not really missing a beat yet but it will suck ass when she does.  She's an awesome dog.

I have a Rott too.  Way smarter than the boxer.

Sorry to hear about the pup, Dio. 

[hbionic]

Yeah, sorry about your partner there Dio. I almost welled up like I almost did in Armageddon after reading that. Dogs rule. I do remember taking my dog out for a last walk...she pulled me out to do it...I was hesitant because she was so weak...but the strength she showed in how she pulled me gave me hope that she might recover....but you can't reverse old age. She passed the next day.

I hate death. Makes you not want to own a dog anymore.

This isn't saying much about your Rott. 

That boxer mix I took in last year is about the dumbest farging thing I've ever seen.  And he's a total puss.  My house is a good 50 yds away from the road.  And this is a backwoods, country road so not too much traffic, but lots of people either jogging or cycling.  Whenever someone comes passing by, this sissy goes to one end of the property line and starts barking at them while staying a good 30 yards away from the road.  He follows them along the road, barking and growling and his hair standing straight up until he reaches the other side of the property.  Then he stands there and barks at them until they're a ways away.  Then he comes strutting back up to the house like he just scared them away.  You can really see the look of total satisfaction on his face.  One day, a guy who was jogging just stopped, turned towards him and stuck his hand out to call him over.....seemed really harmless.  The dog ran back to the house and hid under the porch and started barking again.  Farging punk. 

I'm thinking of changing his name from Apollo to El Pollo.

Sorry for your loss Dio.

My child hood dog (golden lab) Max was put down while I was in the Navy. I wanted to fly home but I was deployed. People may say I'm crazy but the night after he was put down I had a dream that he was licking my face. I always felt this was his way of saying good bye.

My mom put our other dog down last year. I posted pics of her on here.

My new dog (it's actually my room mates) is a nightmare to train. He's a rescue pup, we got him when he was only 2-3 months old. I house trained him almost immediately, problem is he gets excited and pee's a little here and there. He's half beagle and we think half lab, so he eats everything and won't stop barking. He likes to wake my room mate up at 4 AM. I work 50 hours a week which is now 55 due to mandatory overtime, have an hour commute each way, and have my daughter 3-4 days a week, so I have no time to properly train him. I did some training techniques one weekend and he started to turn a corner but he's since regressed. My room mate leaves him in his kennel because our work schedules conflict and the dog cannot be left alone. I'm trying to get him to pay for obedience school or Petsmart offers 6-8 week classes for around $100 but he's been resistant.

Your room mate sounds like a crappy/lazy dog owner.

He thinks kenneling the dog and telling him no is how to train a puppy. I taught him a few behavior modification techniques but it's in one ear out the other...or he doesn't feel like dealing with him.

When he does try something you suggest you should give him a piece of steak.
