My dog is excellent at walking. She is always right at my side and rarely pulls, however I’ve been wanting to start running, but every time I start a running pace, she gets all excited and keeps trying to jump on me. Are we destined to be just fat lazy walkers or is it not too late to teach a 7 year old dog to run?
Schmecky, the pooch chewed up all of the sticks.

Australian cattle dogs are protective by nature but my pooch was also hit by a car and is deaf.

What this means is she is extremely cuddly and sweet around people and animals she knows but does a complete 180 around certain people and other dogs. I bring her to the dog-park, with muzzle, and she will play with all the other dogs without incident until one comes close to me and she goes crazy. She’ll do the same with people that try and pet her when she doesn’t want to be petted but sometimes the signs aren’t so clear between the two.

My question is this – I know I need to watch her closely to avoid incidents but would like seek help to see if there are ways of training it out of her.

One person has told me to try getting her on some meds (but she is calm 95% of the time).

Another suggested a dog psychic.

Any other advice?

I currently use Nutro Max dry dog food and would like to know if there is anything better to feed my pooch. I’m looking for less fillers and by-products.

My dachshund is overweight, and everytime I take her to the vet, I have to hear how overweight dachshund are prone to back problems and I get depressed. I know I have to help her with her weight problem-but here’s my dilemma. I want her to enjoy her food too, if she doesn’t-she sneaks cat food. Right now I’m feeding her Nutro-Natural choice for Overweight dogs. She loves it. But she doesn’t really seem to loose weight with it, but doesn’t gain either. But when my vet had me put her on the low-cal Science Diet she actually gained weight because she would sneak any food she found anywhere, because she hated it. Help! I want my pooch to be happy and healthy.
