I have two schnauzers. My oldest one is about 3 years old and the youngest is about 4 months old. The oldest has dry skin so she scratches alot and pulls her own fur out. This time I caught her pulling the youngest dog's fur out. It wasnt just a random spot. She sniffed him up and down several times before she zoomed in on the fur on his neck. Has anyone else's dog done this before and if so what should I do?


My dogs doing same ting right before female coming into heat.This is only time she do this to male dog so I think it mean she interested in him. She constantly chewing and pulling fur from his neck. You dog still young, but I believe she become interested in male. Even if both fixed , is like instinct.I can not stopping this so I have to separate. But long as male dog not aggressive toward girl dog should be ok unless dog neck get irritate or yeast from being wet all the times.

*

Also could be that younger dog smell the infection or irritation and try to help other dog. Either case is not an aggressive behavior. *

Sometime the dog lick or chew wound to helping heal it.

my dogs are spayed - of course! But my little poodle goes up to her bud and scratches her then grabs a mouth full of fur and yanks at it. both are female, both are NOT dominant. Actually, I came on tonight trying to find out why she does this. She does it when she's playing - or happy - it seems http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20090818073604AA0W67n&kid=McMtDFfiDzmEI1z_a1a6&s=comm&date=2009-08-26+17%3A32%3A38&.crumb=

every time it barks squirt water in its mouth and say quiet. Your dog will be quiet licking the water in her mouth and after some time your dog will get the idea and stop barking at the bell.


you need to get your dog used to being told and obeying to stay in one position then treat, slowly introduce door bell to this equation and gradually he will associate door bell with going to that position and not barking

My dog can really chew through anything so will she be able to destroy these?


Probably...but what you need to do is hide them from your dog in a box..then put your dog in the other room while your kitty is playing with them...so she cant chew them up

You don't mention the breed or age of your dog, but you can be sure that if the dog is a dog your plastic and feather toys will be in little tiny pieces in less than an hour.

If you must have toys like this for the cat, make sure the dog can't get them.

You might save a little money for yourself and vet bills for your dog if you just stick with a laser pointer or crumpled paper for the cat!

Well if your dog can already chew through alot of things, i dont think plastic and feathers are going to last long. I would put them in a higher spot to where your cat can get but not your pup, until he realizes what he can and can not chew on.

If she is a year old and still chewing on things like that, she needs to be taken to an obedience class.

We have been giving him regular baths, treat him for fleas, etc.. but they keep coming back. His skin is red, and irritated. Are there any over the counter remedys?


Above all, you need to keep your dog flea free, that means putting a topical liquid - a good, name brand one like Advantix or Frontline Plus - on your dog EVERY SINGLE MONTH, without fail.

Flea dips, baths, collars, etc. only get rid of a few adult fleas, the eggs and larvae hatch and your dog has fleas again - doesn't do any good.

The only thing that prevents fleas are GOOD, name brand topical liquids, not harz or adams or any junk like that --- get Advantix or Frontline Plus.

As to his sores - hot spots really - get a spray from the vet,

Genesis, it is good for this, stops the itching and helps heal.

Meanwhile, put some antibiotic cream on the spots - but get him to the vet asap.

If he is truly flea infested, the vet can give him a pill, Capstar, that gets rid of fleas very quickly -- but you must PREVENT fleas with a monthly liquid like Advantix.

Get going, your poor dog doesn't need to be infested like that, I have 6 dogs, live in the rural south and with Advantix every month, my dogs never have fleas or ticks. Advantix also repels mosquitos.

you need the frontline solution to get rid of all the fleas and the eggs...you will need to buy these (not very cheap) to help your furry friend to get rid of these agony.

Please check if your house is infested as well and if he does have a bed, check if it is infested as well.

please use the flea comb to get rid of the remaining fleas.

the fleas are coming back because you cannot only treat the dog, you have to treat the house and yard as well.

My puppy is around 3 months old, and something really weird is happening to it. It's growing an extra leg. I'm being really really serious about this, I don't know what's wrong with it. I took it to the vet, but they said they wouldn't treat him! Should I just chop the growing leg off my self? Or should I get a professional to do it?


Take it to anothr vet, and if they can't do anything, just let the leg grow, It'll look strange but that's the same loving puppy you had before inside.

i think u should go and see someone else and see wat they say

unless you want to kill your dog dont cut off its leg!

why would you even think of that! omgg. thats crazy,

get an second opinion! and a PROFESSIONAL.

if you dont love your dog you could find someone else that will aprecaite the dog more than you apperently are*

Go to a knowledgeable capable vet A.S.A.P. DON'T CHOP IT OFF YOURSELF. Check this successful puppy leg amputation story out at:

http://www.pawnation.com/2009/07/24/five-legged-dog-has-extra-leg-removed/

Good Luck and I hope the dog is okay!

They see me trollin'...they hatin'.

Dr. Dog

Okay i've never heard of anything like this before but don't ever chop off something that's growing off your dogs body. Do you want it to be scarred for life?! What your considering doing would be like cutting off your own arm or leg! What did the vet say when you took your pup to them. The vet knows best... mostly. If that vet had no idea what was going on take your pup to a different one. If you do it then you probably don't know how to do stitches or anything, and who knows it might grow back again! Keep going from vet to vet until you find out what's wrong and what to do about it. Your dog just might have to be a healthy five legged deformed dog. Just make sure you do what's best for your dog, and don't chop off his leg. That's considered animal cruelty.

What the hell's wrong with you? Take it to a different vet. You can't just go around chopping off bits of animals!

Why can't they treat ur puppy!? Tha'ts THEIR job! And PLEASE don't chop it off urself! U're going to hurt the little thing :( Go to another veterinary hospital see what they can do about it because the one u go to doesn't no anything

find an in home vet that does amputations and bring your dog to them. they will probably have a high cost, but if you really care, thats the best option. and its usually not safe to amputate an animals limb on your own. hope this helps

Don't ever chop anything off your animal yourself unless you want it to bleed to death. It may seem like he is growing an extra limb, and it is possible that he has some sort of defect. There was a lamb recently with an extra leg growing out of his neck. It looked like a little lamb leg scarf! Haha!! Not kidding!!

The problem with any extra growth is that there may be a network of veins and maybe even arteries going to the limb/growth. Cutting it off will cause your animal to bleed to death.

You need to call around to local vet clinics and ask who will see him and explain the problem. Look them up on yellowpages.com.

Your vet will determine if this is indeed a limb or if it is some sort of tumor growth and can suggest next steps. If the limb affects any major blood supply he may want to leave it as is.

what ever you do don't chop it off your self get a professional to do it. cause u don't know if there is a vital internal body part connected to it

You cannot be serious. Perhaps you should take yourself to a doctor. No vet would refuse to treat a dog with such a problem.

Get a second (vet) opinion.

WAIT WAIT!!!

PICK ME!!!!

OOOH!!!

PICK ME!!!!

You bought this puppy from a backyard breeder!!!! OOOOOH!!!! I am good!

wtf is wrong with you!!?? Chop it off yourself??? HELL no!!!!!! Go to a (different) vet and ask their opinion.

Don't even answer this moron.

If you check her other questions, she just asks outrageously stupid questions I guess just so she can sit on her fat *** at home and laugh with her fat friends.

Get out of your diaper and shut up.

lol. just let it grow.

You should be qualified to do it yourself. Just grab yourself a dull table spoon and start hacking.

umm defiantly a professional

You could chop off your dog's leg yourself if you are an experienced medical person, but if no, then, it will be best if you let a professional perform the chopping of your dog's leg. Chopping it off by yourself might lead to serious or life-threatening complications to your puppy.

What?!?! Get a professional to do it! It could get infected otherwise and she will need to be put under for the operation... and I dont think you are capable of being an anthesologist! Just look for a professional who will do it.

Don't chop it off yourself.

Get another vet to give you a second opinion.

If you are trolling, please leave.

WHAT EVER HAPPENS DON'T CHOP THE LEG OFF YOURSELF IM SERIOUS LET A PROFESSIONAL DO IT!!!!!!

i think you should demand the vets do something about it and if they don't go to an animal hoispital make sure its done by a proffessioal cause if you do it the leg could get infected and it could really hurt the poor dog!!

what do you think? you go to a proffensional!!

...get some photos and call the National Inquire first...(make some money with this anomaly)

he's a 9 year old chihuahua, and he's only started this behaviour after we recently moved to a new place. Also, he only does it in the bedroom and not anywhere else in the house.


are you sure hes not licking his nose? Dogs usually lick their nose.

Was there a fan on or snything like that?

I have a Chihuahua. Did have three in fact. All of them do the same thing; one in particular. I think it is something that is irritating or tickling their throat, tongue, or mouth. There may be particulates in the air in the bedroom, or something.

I think it helps with smelling. My dog always dose that, and she dose it allot when there's strong smelling food around even though she can't see it.

They do that to collect Pheromones to be processed by the Vomeronasal Organ.

All of which you can learn about by doing a web serch of "Jacobson's Organ"

Doing that helps them smell the place better.

there must be something in the air that smells funny to him. Dogs are very good at smelling things that humans cant so if you have a gas powered home or something to that effect, you might want to get it checked to make sure theres no leak.

Is there a fan in the bedroom? most of my dogs lick the air whenever some of it is blown in their face.

lol. dogs can see and smell stuff better than we can.

which are going to be running around me as well?

Okay..I have a large German Shepherd....but I have feeling there will be dogs like Doberman, Rottweiler, Akita or Pitbulls around me running in the park...

what should I do?


In your case, I would recommend "No park activity for your dog. Other dogs will sense YOUR fear and that could make uneasy conditions for your dog. I don't recommend dogs running loose anyway. Too much liability, Keep your dog restrained and in pleaces where he can exercise without interaction with other dogs that stimulate your anxietyTheir sensing your anxiety could lead to "Pack attack" behavior.. Your dog needs interaction with you more than he needs interaction with other dogs that could cause problems, or even make your dog aggressive.

DO NOT bring your dog to a dog park if you are scared of other dogs. Your fear is going to be picked up on by the other dogs, and they are going to start acting out. And if your dog picks up on it, it may try to defend you, and the next thing you know there will be a dog fight. Which will be ALL your fault, no matter what the other dogs do.

If you are going to own a large, potentially dangerous dog, I sincerely suggest you start going to obedience classes, so that you learn how to project a calm attitude and be in charge. Some sessions with a trainer might also be helpful.

Yet you own the number one dog when it comes to bites.

The breeds you mention all have a wrongfully bad reputation.

Labs and goldens can attack a person just as well.

The biggest problem at dog parks is when people bring a dog who is aggressive to other dogs.

Do you know anyone with one of those breeds, so you can get to know their dog?

You would be surprised how many great examples of those breeds are out there...so many people have bad opinions of those dogs due to a few bad owners and the media.

You are extremely prejudice and even hypocritical. GSDs are considered "vicious dogs" by the media along with all those other breeds you mentioned. NONE of those breeds are bad. It's all hype by the media. Stop being so prejudice and just go to the park. Keep in mind that there is occasionally an untrained dog there and there might be a little quarrel.

You need to get over that fear

because most people are afraid of those breeds most people make sure they are friendly to people and most in dog parks are friendly towards other dogs.

They have all been given a bad rap. and with out a good reason. You need to go and meet people with these breeds of dogs and explain that you are afraid of this breed and would like to get over it. They will have no problem with that. Everyone who owns breeds with bad raps are more than willing to change someones view of their breed. Or find a breeder in your area that wouldn't mind you coming in and meeting their dogs which are well behaved.

Just remember your dog doesn't see dangerous breeds like rottweilers, akitas, pit bulls, dobermans, and others like you do, he sees someone to play with. So don't make him miss out on playing because of your fears.

I agree with the people who say, "stay away." If you are afraid of other dogs, the dog park is no place for you, and especially if you are with your dog. You might have to break up a dog fight, and you might not be able to do it. Some of the advice here on getting over this fear is also good, but until then, go elsewhere.

So what? Stop being afraid. Simple as that. Dogs CAN and DO detect fear. Why did you get a dog if you are afraid of dogs?

You are generalizing as well. You need to understand that 95% of all these dogs you mentioned are the biggest babies in the world. Stop believing everything you read and hear. German Shepherds have also been included in your list of dogs to fear, even though you didn't put it there. Other people would.

My Toy Poodle can send Pitties, Rotties, etc. running scared. So much for them being dogs to fear. There's even a fence between them, as it's segregated according to size.

We go to the dog park almost every day, and have for over 2 years and never had a problem.

wow that is soo "breed-ist"

nobody would bring an untrained dog to a dog park

so what if its a rottweiler or doberman or akita or pitbull

they are no different then any other dog , just bigger

they have a bad rep. because people look up a dog breed on google , read a few lines get a dog and dont know anything about the breed.

goldens and labs are on the top of the bite list. but yet you watch the news and hear of a few dogs and therefore think all are bad?! wow....

Dog Bites, Dog Fights, Disease's, wow it's just not a very good place for you or your dog really, your better off just staying out of Dog Parks. You know if everyone trained their dogs, properly vaccinated their dogs then dog parks would be cool, but people don't...so it's a risk for you and worse a really big risk for your dog.

you have a GSD, which is probably a perfectly nice dog, and there might be other dogs there, who are also probably perfectly nice too...

there's lots of people who are also afraid of GSD, so what's the problem?

no one should go to a leash-free dog park if their dog isn't nice!!!

if you're scared, don't go. your dog will sense that from you.

and WHAT is wrong with pit bull terriers???

What's wrong with those breeds?

There is nothing wrong with them. They aren't vicious. They are actually very affectionate breeds mislabeled by the media.

Plus, mean dogs aren't allowed in the dog park. So all the dogs there will be dog friendly.

Good luck.

HOw can you be scared of those smaller dogs when you have a large german shepherd, If you are really afraid dont take the dog to the park. If you really want to tkae him, just sit on the bench and ignore the other dogs and watch you dog play!

Come on, to be a dog owner you'll have to be bolder. That's the way the park is! I think tou can't have a dog if you're that coward to other big dogs running at the park. Even It's possible if those big dogs are gentle.

I apologize if you think I'm rude.

i wouldn't go to dog parks period. they are not always nice dogs around. it is also easy to spread diseases. i would just walk my dog and if i wanted her to socialize set up doggy play dates in a more secure and controlled setting

Wow.

Um basically get over it. Id be terrified of your dog if i owned a chihuahua.

All those breeds you mentioned are living proof that the media has convinced you they are bad.

Take your dog through an obedience course first. You'll become more comfortable being near other dogs and you'll learn to trust your dog in a group setting. Then try a dog park.

If your scared of dogs then why do you own one ?

How can u be scared of other dogs- come on !

well just go when there aren't many dogs there

I have a 9 month old boxer (female) she weights about close to 50 pounds or more. I am wondering when i can stop giving her puppy food and start giving her adult dog food. I also want to know when she is considered an adult dog. Thanks =)


It depends on the dog. You should be more than safe to give her dog food now.

They will usually stop growing at around 1yr-18 months but it can take up to 2 years depending on the genetics from the parents.

If the dogs paws still look a little bit too big for her legs she still has some growing to do.

She is considered an adult at around 2years old, at this stage most dogs have passed the 'puppy adolescence' but some dogs never grow out of it.

I have a 10yr old BC who has been in adolescence since he opened his eyes.

Larger breeds take longer to mature than smaller ones. You can ask your vet for the answer to this question; that's the safest place to get the best answer.

I have a black lab and had the same question( I wanted to know when to change him to adult food) so I asked a specialist

at PET SMART she told me when my dog turned 1yr old.

i've always thought when the dogs a year old their considered an adult, but maybe check with your vet when you can start her on adult dog food.

when she is 1 she can start eating adult dog food (a dog is considered an adult at age 1)

even though she is still considered a puppy she can have adult food now unless you wnt her to keep growing

At 2 years old.

i think when shes 3 years.

that story really upset me and i dont even think he is ugly, i cant believe people are so cruel.


yes i was very upset when i read it anyone who can hurt a deflenless animal should be locked up

i help the humane Society and i take in a whole bunch of animals every day and im considering that a build a huge house for them and make rooms for each breed. I have the money and i take a lot of animals every day im single and i really know what its like.. Some that Ive had died in my house that's how long i had them. I love animals no matter what kind and people need to learn a lesson once and a while. I'm ten years old and my mom takes in those types of animals and i made a club that im in with 20 other people we have saved up to 7 cats 2 hamsters 5 dogs and 2 turtles. This case upsets me too.

i hate animal cruelty it really upsets me too. a few months ago i herd about the cat that had to be uthenized cause two teens broke into an apartment held the cat down soaked it in litter fluid burned it to death when medics got their it was crying couldn't move badly burned and damage to an eye and such that it was the only thing they could do. when i read that i was ready to cry i have not seen that story yet but i love animals and i have both a dog and a cat.

It is really sad that there are people in the world who gain some sick form of pleasure from doing this to animals-mugly may not be the prettiest dog in the world but he did not deserve the cruelty subjected to him-I think the people responsible should be severely punished to illustrate that this type of injustice cannot be condoned-get better soon mugly!

I know i got really upset, i don't think the dog is ugly. He's kinda cute really.

How could people do that to a poor little thing that couldn't defend him self. It's just Cruel and evil. it's sick!

Hi Jane!

I find it totally heartbreaking and even more - frustrating. What is our country coming to? Kids being beaten, starved and murdered by their own parents, knife crime, dogs getting beaten up, MP's getting money dished out for f*** all, etc., etc. What a truly horrible country we live in.

O i just read it about 1/2 hour ago. Poor dog. It made me so sad. They pulled out the only tuft of hair he had. I just don't want to believe it. I know it really happened. What I mean is it's so upsetting to know people do things like this.

omg how could anyone do that, makes me damn mad that out of that group not one of them tried to stop the poor dog from getting hurt. thank god that person did not just walk on by.

believe it! a lot of people look at a dog as something the can take their anger out on! if i were a dog officer there would be a lot of people in jail or on death row!

I found it very appalling, i didn't even bother reading the full story, i was so angry at the headline. I mean really was there any need to pull his hair out?

yes I heard about it and it upset me but I love animals and every time I hear anything about cruelty to animals it upsets me

THEM KIDS BETTER DIE AND ROT IN HELL- THEY ARE SH*THEADS WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO AND THEY WILL HAVE A **** LIFE NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO.

I love dogs and when i read that story it made me cry! those teens deserve to b locked up, who would do something like that!

I took my dog to the vet to get spayed , what should I expect when I bring her home? How can I make her feel more comfortable? Thanks!


She will probably be both happy to see you and yet lethargic (tired) when you pick her up to bring her home. I would recommend following the instructions that the vet gives you. Also, I would make sure she has somewhere comfortable to lay (soft blanket etc), and try not to let her jump up too much (like on furniture) until her incision has healed a bit. Keep an eye on the incision, and again follow your vet's instructions.

Here is a link to an article -- scroll down for what to expect post-surgery as well as what to watch for after surgery:

http://dogtime.com/spaying-your-female.html

Hope this is helpful. Best of luck!

Moe

The vet will give you directions for caring for her. This is a surgery, but if she's in good health it's pretty routine. She will likely be a little sleepy and "dopey" from the anesthesia, this is normal. The vet may have recommendations for helping keep her from chewing at her stitches, and what to watch for as she comes completely out the affects of the anesthesia. I wouldn't worry much. A goo vet will tell you what you need to know and should answer all your questions.

And good for you, getting your dog spayed! =)

I just had my dog spayed last week and it went very well. She moved slow at first and just laied on my lap on the way home . She slept the rest of the night and in the flowing days she started to become her old self, full of it. Just keep her calm as possable and give her a little water the first night and little or no food.After that just a little as she becomes herself everything as normal.

Well your dogs going to feel like anyone who just got surgery. Tired, uncomfortable, and maybe in a little pain. But when you go to the vets you can ask theses questions and they'll give you more information.

To make him more comfortable, just make your dog a nice bed next to you and just chill with him. pet him, be around him. Isn't that what dogs want the most? Put in a movie to entertain yourself and just have a relaxing day.

Ask your vet for some Rimadyl (pain medicine) so she won't be in pain. She will be fine, don't let her run and jump just be easy with her for a week or so and pet her and let her know you love her. When they spend time at the vet getting these things done that cause them to have to stay overnight sometimes, it makes them wonder why you took them there and left them, so just give her extra love during this time and you will both be closer than ever.

She will most likely be sluggish and loopy at first. Let her rest and do not let her run or jump. The vet will give you pain meds, and probably a list of dos and donts. I suggest put her a bed in a quiet comfortable spot and let her sleep. Depending on the dog she should be back to normal in a couple days. My girl is kind of happy go lucky and only 6 months old so she was her normal self the next day, just sore.

She will be very quiet and keep her that way.

Offer a little bit of bland food for this evening and little sips of water.

What I normally do for food is offer a tiny amount every half hour to an hour otherwise they can be sick. Just a couple of mouthfuls, and the same with water.

Then keep her quiet for the next week taking her for walks in the garden for her wee's and poos and no running around. This is quite a major op and I think I see more complications with this one than any other so just keep her as calm as possible.

I remember my female being down for about two days. It was quite comical and sad at the same time. She was really tired and all she did was sleep, go outside, come in, eat, sleep, repeat. Called it Doggy Downers.

Just keep her in a nice quite room. A cage would be better. She needs a minimum of a week to heal before she should be allowed to play. The vet will give you a care sheet and tell you want to expect and what to look out for.

Well, a bit of her "underside" will be shaved as that's where they had to.. you know.. do it. Don't worry, the fur will grow back. She might walk around looking frightened and putting her tail between her legs, so just be comforting to her and don't raise your voice too often. Make sure her bed is nice and soft, too.

That's about as much as I can give you. Hope your dog is fine!

she might be groggy but honestly my dogs didnt even notice they got fixed and i think thats WORSE because you need to keep them calm. no running, jumping, climbing. outside on a leash to potty then right back inside. they should be giving you pain meds and probably some antibiotics

She will be groggy. She will just want to sleep. Let her. You may have to push her to go outside the first day or so for potty breaks. But she will bounce back quickly.

she might calm down

She'll be grumpy and look like you just beat her wearing the cone. After the cone comes off and her stitches are out she'll be about the same.

read the first blog post. this is my blog

http://eclecticmodernlife.blogspot.com/

So she's developed this rash for a week now and I'm starting to wonder if there is anything I could do for her to help ease the pain. It's on her belly button and next to her vagina. Could I put some lotion on the rash? What would help out her situation?


are you mentally challenged in some way that I can't tell right now?

Cleansing it first. Then try the juice of an aloe plant. Split the leaf and rub the juicy part over the rash.

Then you can put 'Cortisone over that to keep it from itching

If all else fails, off to the Vet she goes.

well, that rash is more than likely a hotspot. the best thing is to take it to the vet. it is a cheap treatment, so no worries about cost. hope this helps! :)

you might turn her on.

take it to the VET!

I don't like the bloody fluid that she passes out


You cannot do anything about her being in "Heat" other than getting her fixed. You can reduce the chance of her getting pregnant by fitting her with a doggy diaper. It looks stupid, but it'll make it more difficult for a male to get the job done, and it'll absorb the fluids.

No,there is nothing to do but get her spayed.Why don't you want to spay her? It will prevent the mess,accidental litters,false pregnancies,masitis,the deadly infection, pyometra,cancers of the reproductive tract and mammary glands, and it will increase her lifespan.There is no reason not to spay her.

What do you want, a dog contraceptive?

No, spaying is the ONLY way.

There are free/cheap spay clinics available so not being able to afford it is not an excuse.

Nor is "I want to breed her". Breeding should only be done my professionals.

Or "She would be upset". She is not human.

Please arrange a spay today.

Why don't you just get her spayed? I have heard of a shot that delays the cycle, but I have heard that the risks far outweigh the benefits.

There is absolutely nothing you can do about this other than get her fixed.

No, get her spayed and you don't have to deal with anything like that.

No! Just have her spayed so you don't have to deal with something worse in the future!

She scratches a lot, but no flees or parasites detected by the vet.


May need her anal glands cleaned out

My dogs scoot their butts around after they poop alot... It probably just itches I mean it's a butt "stuff" comes out of their... Could you imagine how bad your butt would itch if you didn't wipe????

She's fine it's normal...Not to mention I think it's soooo funny and cute when they do it

maybe because her but is itching!!

I have a border collie and i'm always being hassled off my computer to walk him. Is there any way i can have him walk himself around the block? Do NOT make fun of me please, i'm serious.


lol... he could walk himself but theres no sure thing he'll come back.

thats horible 1. u cant even get ur fat but off the computer and 2. i love walking my dog i go for 4 hr walks around the streets then thru the bush with my dog every day i love seeing my dog smiling and running around looking so happy and i just take my phone and listen to music while i walk if u let your dog walk around it will get hit by a car or in a fight or someone will think what a pretty dog theres no1 around it must be stray and take it home and its just plain wrong walking is also a bonding time for u and ur dog god i hate people like u u get a dog and think ok it can take care of itself

OK like I think something is wrong with you if you can't even take care of your own pet. Why did you get a dog in the first place? I mean if you do not even want to bother with him find him a "good" home to where he will get the love and attention that he really truly needs. And for you get a life, go do some push ups or something drink an energy drink and get up off your butt and do something.

seriously, give up your dog if you can't take a break from world of warcraft or myspace to walk you dog.

but anyways, if you have a fence, buy your dog a toy that he can play with, and let him stay outside for a little while.

it will probably run around and play unless it's as lazy as you are.

Border Collies are high energy dogs and need a lot of training and play time.

If you don't have time for your dog please find a reputable Border Collie rescue to help you rehome him.

And NO you can't teach the dog to take itself for a walk

No, you can't have him walk himself, and he needs a lot more than just a walk around the block anyway.

you can't be serious?

if you aren't going to take proper care of him, give him to someone that will

i know. hire me i wil walk him for you if you ship hm to me and den ill ship hm back

Nothing can replace a good walk outdoors or time spent with their owner. But for when you are really busy, you should train him to walk on a treadmill.
