commented question What is the best durable dog toy?

Most definitely kongs!

commented question Why don't other dogs like my dog?

Your dog is possibly giving off some type of bad energy or signs that the other dogs see. Your dog could have high energy or the complete opposite..he/she could be so nervous, shy, scared or anxiety ridden that other dogs look at that as weak. Try learning how to read "dog language"

commented question How do I get my two dogs to understand which one I am talking to?

Call them by name before saying your command and makensure you have their attention with eye contact. For examplr "Bella, stay with me" make sure when u say the dogs name (bella)..she looks.up at you. Also..some dogs will follow commands even if not directed towards them.

commented question What dog breed is the best off leash?

Its not the breed, it's the owner/trainer. Any dog breed can be taught to be off leash stay close and come back when called..its all about training the dog to do so. I have a yorkie mix that was trained to be off leash when she was 8mos old. She is now 1yr &1mo. Old and is still great off leash.

commented question Does anyone really brush their dog's teeth?

It sounds ridiculous, I know and boy oh boy is it a painn!! But I cannot stress enough the importance of taking care of your dog & CATS teeth! They can easily get periodontal disease & gingivitis, just like we can! Ive found greenies dental chews and some type of water additive to be very helpful.
