| answered a question | Which dog breeds are best suited for apartment living? Some bigger dogs can actually do well in apartments as long as they get outside, but be sure to check your building for breed restrictions. Of the ones you listed, Rotties and GSD's tend to be restricted in most buildings. Golden's and Labs are manageable as long as they get plenty of exercise. http://doghub4.me/calm-dog-breeds/ (DogHub has a list) of calmer breeds for apartments that you should check out. |
| answered a question | Any suggestions on how to stop puppy mouthing and play biting? Play biting is pretty normal for a puppy, but it's great that you're trying to stop it right away. You'll want to teach her that people have sensitive skin, which will actually http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/guide/biting-puppy-how-train-puppy-bites (train her to control the strength) of her mouthing. http://www.luckypetcare.com/blog/2016/1/2/controlling-your-dogs-biting (Time-outs from play time) are also a great method, because the dog will soon connect that their mouthing/biting means no more playing. |
