sonnet @sonnet (164) • South Korea 16 Feb 07

I have a gorgeous little Korean mixed breed dog called Brie. I love her to pieces and I've had her since she was only 4 weeks old (she's 18 months now). I aquired her accidentally but I could never let her go and I plan to take...

royalkaliber I would advise you to consult an expert on dog training to help you attempt to overcome your dogs aggression. It is possible that there could be something this person could do. However, I would caution you. Do not EVER trust your dog. From experience I have...

Pillars of the Earth

gotbot @gotbot (46) • United States 15 Feb 07

Pillars of the Earth is my all-time favorite novel. The tale is epic, the cathedral building aspect is facinating and the characters range from lovable to absolutely horrible. It's such a wonderful story. I was just on Follet's...

royalkaliber I also love Pillars of the Earth. It is my favorite by Ken Follett, but he has written many others I like also. What I enjoy about him as an author is that none of his books are even remotely similar. Jackdaws is one of my other favorites. My favorite part...

royalkaliber I agree with the some of the above responses. Pitt Bulls have been given a bad rap, but it is mostly due to irresponsible breeders and owners. I have known several pitt bulls, most are nice, but some have been aggressive. When dogs are bred for fighting the...

Dogs are a menace and need to be destroyed? No, just avoided.

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 15 Feb 07

I will never forget an incident in which we were visiting a friend at their house and the dog was sitting on the floor in front of us. This dog, a medium-sized pit bull that had never shown any real signs of violence in its life,...

royalkaliber I am a die-hard dog lover, and I hate to see dog's put down, but in a case like this with aggression towards a person I wholeheartedly think the dog should be destroyed. Almost always it is the result of how a person (either past or present) treated the dog,...

Dog Obedience School... Have you went?

SxyFlGrl315 @SxyFlGrl315 (306) • United States 14 Feb 07

royalkaliber I think obedience class is worth it for most people and dogs. I had already trained my husky0carolina dog mix to sit, lie down, walk politely on a leash, etc. but we are going to obedience with him because 1. I have an interest in getting him certified as a...

royalkaliber The animals which come closest to eating their own weight are the really small mammals and birds who have incredibly high metabolisms. Example would be tiny mice and shrews, hummingbirds.

royalkaliber I would suggest trying a no-bark collar that uses a canister of citronella as a deterrant. Rather than using an electric shock it sprays a burst of citronella at the dogs head when the dog barks. It is completely not harmful to the dog, but is rather...

royalkaliber That is a little excessive. I say get rid of him before he controls your whole life and ruins it. I dated a guy like that once a long time ago and it ended up being 2 years of hell.

royalkaliber There is certainly scientific evidence that clinical depression as well as other mental health issues are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, most often the nuerotransmitters. I know for example that I have bi-polar II disorder, and there is a lot of...
