So You Want To Own A Dog # 8------Teaching Your Dog To Lie Down ---1---Once the puppy is sitting, Kneel at its left side and hold its collar in your right hand. Holding a food treat in your left hand, place your hand on the puppy's nose before moving it downward. ---2--- As the puppy's nose follows the treat, move it forward to the front of its body. The moment the puppy starts to lie down, give the command ''Down,'' but do not reward the puppy yet. ---3--- Move the food just far enough forward to lure the puppy to lie down. Reward the puppy with praise and the food treat. Repeat the exercise frequently, until the puppy responds to words alone.---Repreve--Brad Malone---Bruce Fogle, DVM---And http://www.justenufstuff.com Pet Supplies Plus,

I'll preface this by saying as I get older my patience with people has dwindled and I have no problem being a dick to people I feel are inconsiderate. I also realize at times I may be too quick to do this and may be over reacting occasionally.
If I go to the dog park.... I understand things will happen. Dogs get wound up and you may get jumped on or dogs may get aggressive. I understand this.
However if I'm walking into the park and trying to walk to a corner away from everyone. If your damn dog is jumping on me while I'm obviously trying to control him and make him stop. If he repeatedly jumps up trying to take a ball out of my hand... come get your fucking dog. If I have to ask whose dog this is and ask you to make him stop. Yes I'm going to be a dick about it. I accept dogs will jump occasionally. I don't accept you standing there socializing and not saying a damn thing to your dog.
Adopted at 8 weeks, hes very mouthy. Crate trained and normally sweet. But when he gets really excited he bites hands and feet. He lunges at them. My hands, arms and feet are bloody from his razer sharp puppy teeth. Is this normal puppyhood or is something wrong. He's very smart, already sits and lays down on command.
Hey all, My wife and I adopted a rescue dog (mixed Canaan) two days ago. He's about one year old and incredible, much less problematic than we expected and bonding with him was a snap. One thing that worries us is his stool - soft and SUPER smelly, to the point where we both struggle not to throw up when picking it up... Any suggestions as to what we could do to help him with that? (Also the sly bastard switches from his bed to the sofa when we are asleep, but that is hardly as bad. We just want the little guy to be healthy!) Thank you!
