I think it's okay to have your dog offleash. Hell, I have my dog offleash in the yard all the time. Go off, aslong as you're following the leash laws.
I am not okay with your dog being off leash if it isnt trained to 1. Stay near you or 2. Recall.
I am not okay with your dog being offleash if it runs into the road.
I am not okay with your dog being offleash if it is aggressive.
I am not okay with your dog being offleash if it's going to chase dogs down the street.
Basically, train your dog recall. It takes 1 hour a day for a week. Recall is NOT chasing your dog down, it should return to you in a calm and orderly fashion Thats all. It's not rocket science. Go online to learn how to do it and everyone is safer and happier.
Hi guys thank you for reading! So my family and I have a laborador since he was a puppy.
My boyfriend and I are moving by out and my parents are as well out of the original house. Our problem is trying to figure out which house would be best for our dog. He is now 14 years old. He has a problem going up stairs. Not because of pain but fear of falling. (he fell down the stairs once and now afraid).
My boyfriend and I's new house only has five steps. My dog still has a problem going up them but easier to get around. Our original thought was to adopt him because my parents new house has a giant flight of steps.
We are moved in with my dog for about 4 days and he cries constantly. Idk if it's because he is not situated in the house yet or really is heart broken and stressed. My dog is really attached to my dad. Should my dog be living with the person he is most connected with? (Which is my dad?) Or our house because the small steps help him get around better?
Thank you so much ahead of time guys. I really just want what is best for my dog. I'm sorry for my grammar and typos!
I quickly found out my downstairs neighbors can hear my dogs playing (40 lbs each) so I obviously don't let them do it early in the morning or late at night.
I wrote them an apology letter and they've been super cool about it since. I don't want to be an asshole neighbor so I'm just wondering, do people think it's rude to allow dogs to play when you have downstairs neighbors? Especially if it's only during the day (between 10 am and 7 pm).
Also want to mention it's usually little spurts for like 10 minutes at a time, not all day.
