answered a question Inexpensive, hands-off puppy boredom cures?

I take a Kong, stuff it with peanut butter & freeze it. This keeps him busy for a while. Also if you go to your local butcher, grab a knuckle bone or marrow bone still raw/frozen. This keeps my GSD busy for hours and he loves it. If you do get a marrow bone, take it away after a few hours and refreeze it for later, as the high fat can cause a tummy ache if they digest too much at once.

asked a question Any reccommendations for getting business going in Bed-Stuy, BK?

I have yet to get my first client after 4 months, wish I could get the ball rolling! Thx

commented question are there any natural home remedies for a dog that scratches excessively?

I have heard coconut oil in their food, or a bath with apple cider vinegar can help. There are several shampoos/sprays you can order online that are oatmeal based or specific to the problem that you can order too.

asked a question GSD puppy is becoming so protective that he now barks when I make a phone call/Skype etc. Help!?

I have a 10 month old dog who has become increasingly protective of me and the house/property. When he hears someone out front he goes nuts, even more so for the doorbell. Now when I make a phone call and he hears me go "Hi How are you!?" he thinks someone has entered the house & goes nuts, and we sometimes have trouble calming him down or helping him realize there is no one there. Anyone have any recommendations for this nutball?

answered a question I am hosting a dog that obsessively drinks water (to the point of throwing up, his owner says). How can I limit his water intake, while ensuring my dog gets the water he needs?

Another tip would be to try adding ice cubes to the water bowl. This can slow down their intake and may deter them from drinking so incessantly to the point of vomiting.
