I started dog/house sitting for a woman who pays me as she feels fit. I have never had to establish a rate with her because she always pays me well. She is now recommending me to friends and I feel as if I should establish a rate with my new "customers". What is a fair [...]

I have tried many things, including changing her bedding. It saddens me to see her scratch all the time. I have wanted to put medicine to rid her of mites, but I’m not sure that’s what she has… plus she doesn’t want to be touched because she’s sore. I put medication on her to heal [...]

What are the ebst types of guard dogs?

I was in Walmart looking at the collars and spotted a dog training harness that promised to stop the dog from pulling. Does this actually work or what? If so how does it work?

I have a one year old little mutt dog that weighs about 35 lbs. She always pulls hard when we try to walk her. We’ve tried using her collar, the gentle leader, and the shoulder harness with the chest strap. She pulls so hard that she gags herself and we can’t walk her more than [...]
