I guess I mean, how old should a larger breed puppy be when his bladder is matured. My pup is great with his potty training but whines to go outside just to dribble. When should I stand my ground to make him wait? I just cant recall how long it is.

My dog stays indoor all day except to use the bathroom. He’s a 70lb chocolate lab. I give him a bath with doggie deoderant shampoo, but after 3-4 days, he stinks again. My female lab can go for weeks without a bath and she smells fine. Is there anything I can do? I’ve tried bath wipes and sprays, but nothing seems to work.
I don’t bathe my dog everyday, I just live with the smell until it’s bath time again. I usually bathe him once every 3 weeks or so. My female only needs a bath once a month.

What supplies do I need to strip my dog?




I have a knife and stone (somewhere). I read about raking the coat between strippings. Don’t think I have supplies for this. Any recommendations? Any other supplies I need?

I’ve gotten a tutorial and will probably be getting more in the future, but I’m trying to maintain it myself in the meantime.
I do have people who are teaching me how to strip. I want to learn myself not pay someone else to do it.

I plan on meeting the person I got a lesson from in a few weeks. Just wondering what people would recommend in terms of supplies.

I just got an 8 week old Yorkie pup and he seems to have anxiety issues at night. I planned on having him sleep with me once he was a bit older, but he won’t stop whimpering when I’m away! He sleeps with me on the couch, but my bed is MUCH higher than the couch, so if he fell I’m afraid he’d hurt himself critically. Do you have any suggestions on puppy-proofing my bed? Or maybe how to calm him down?

I’ve been doing this girl a favor and watching her dog for over a month now. She doesn’t pay me anything for watching the dog, and all I asked was she pay me for the dog supplies. She still hasn’t paid me for even that and I know this type of person will no way in hell offer to pay for the damages the dog’s done to my apartment. He’s chewed up the carpet and broke through my screen door and now I have to pay for that myself. Morally she should pay me, but legally, is she obligated to pay??
