asked a question Dog is anxious and aggressive what do I do?

I have a dog on a stay and has only been here a few hours but is aggressive towards my other clients, me and my 10yr old niece. I don't know what to do, never encountered separation anxiety like this. I fear for my safety and mostly the safety of my niece and clients dogs.

I e tried separating him, kenneling him, long walk, muzzle, e collar, bitter spray, calming spray.. He just barks and hurts himself .. I have two more client dogs coming tomorrow and I'm worried for them.

answered a question How to find a breeder?

Dog shows, Official breed clubs. The internet will connect you with a lot of breeders but some of those breeders can also be puppy mills in disguise, back yard breeders who are exaggerating their stock, etc.

Don't be afraid to ask them lots of questions.

answered a question does anyone use crates during pet stay?

I have used crates/kennels for stays before. Mostly if the client requests it. And some times when I sweep and mop.

answered a question Which dog breeds are best suited for apartment living?

Rottweilers are great apartment dogs. They don't require the energy release that a German Shepherd or Doberman. I've had rotties for over 15yrs and lived in a apartment for 2yrs with a couple and they loved it. Not that being in a house with a yard and having exercise could hurt. Lol

answered a question Where do you buy your dog food?

I usually get my dogs food at Pet Club, not sure if they are a national chain but they have good prices. I feed my dog Origin.

answered a question Best backpack for a dog?

Hi, I love Outward Hound dog packs! I still have a couple that are 10yrs plus. They are super sturdy, resistant to the elements. My dogs and I hike a lot and camp. The dogs don't mind the packs and they seem comfy!

answered a question What is the best durable dog toy?

Lots of great answers! I really like Kong toys, they are durable and last much longer than the generic brands of tough toys. My Rottweiler doesn't destroy the Kongs hardly ever!

answered a question How to stop dogs from peeing in one area of the house?

Hi, I've tried a mixture of cyan pepper and apple cider vinegar in a spray. I read it on a natural site a while back and thought I'd try it. It seemed to work!

answered a question What is the best backpack for a dog?

I love Outward Hound back packs! I've had the same ones for almost 10yrs, they've been through all kinds of weather and still look like new! The newest one I purchased is now 2 yrs old and is just as good as the originals! They seem to be very comfy on my dogs as well!
