    Toys and puzzles, Santa needs help

    What will Santa bring? I have been reading reviews on Amazon and getting confused. Some of the items have almost 1000 opinions and of course it depends on the dog if something is successful. Here is what would be nice: nothing easily destroyed in 5 minutes, so nothing soft and stuffed or weak...

    Fun books narrated by the dog, Chet

    I have found a series of light well-written mysteries by Spencer Quinn and can't wait to read them all. Now I understand what Milo is thinking! I hope it's OK to quote from a review: "I have read an awful lot of mystery and crime novels, with and without dogs. I love a lot of them but the...

    Would a professional dog trainer help?

    I need to address these new behaviors: chasing, barking, growling at joggers, bikes, walkers and big dogs. Children and the disabled really get him going, I am sorry to say. This happens off-leash and on, during walks and close to home (his territory). To be clear, he is always on a leash...

    Doesn't enjoy his walks like before

    How long do you walk your doxie? Milo is an 11.5-pound mini (or a little larger) one year young and seems healthy. I walk him a few times a week on a flat paved path with hard dirt and weeds on either side. I like to keep moving for 30 to 40 minutes. Just a few months ago he would prance...

    Small breed? Small Bites?

    OK, anothr dog food thread! To start, Sara really makes sense: "I feed differently than most people do. I have 5 or 6 types of dog food around at any given time, and they get a different kind every meal... Makes it more interesting for them, and I avoid sensitivities due to never having...

    Does a mini long hair need a groomer?

    Milo does not have extra long hair or matting. But he is starting to look a little ragged here and there and has tufts between his toes. His tail looks like a big feather. I was thinking of a visit to a groomer as a rare special treat (for me). I can give him a bath (I wear a raincoat) and brush...

    Scary Behavior

    A couple of times this 10-month-old neutered male has gotten seriously close to attacking us (heavy growling/snapping), his family. It has only happened when we get close or reach out to him when he has a pig ear or rawhide object. I have heard that rawhide is not desirable, but he found one in...

    Welcome Milo!

    Milo came to us as a surprise when he couldn't stay in his original home. He is 9 months old and described to us as a "tweenie" though I don't know if that's an official designation. He is black with tan markings that I have seen in photos. In fact, the first day we had him I met a little girl...
