When to muzzle your dog
I Recently had a 3 year old German Shepherd taken away from me and killed by the City of Ogden, Ogden, Utah He was playing with my children in the yard and bit a couple children....not bad bites kinda nips but did break the skin...so had to be quarantined for 10 days...that made him so crazy!!!...when I picked him up out of quarantine the Animal Services said I had to have a muzzle on him at all times...except in the house!! Is this appropriate for his playing around??

Barking
I have tried everything with my now 6yr old Maltese/Min Pinch to try to control his barking, particularly when out on a walk. On walks he starts off barking and should he see someone or another dog it becomes almost uncontrollable. We have tried training, bark collars, natural calming treats and even resorted to trying prescription meds. Although things have helped at times, nothing seems to really resolve the problem. It makes walks not enjoyable for either of us.

Dog Sharing ?
I have recently found out about dog sharing, where people who can't cope through illness or infirmity or because they are suddenly working away or for whatever reason are finding it hard not to neglect their dog and wonder what to do about it.

Dog Muzzles
My groomer uses a soft e-collar when she grooms my difficult lhasa who nips at her. It looks like a foam core covered with fleece and fabric - firm but soft and comfy. Made very well. I was so impressed I got one to use when Rocky (my shih-tzu) had his eye removed. It worked awesome, and he could lay down, eat, and do everything comfortably. I got mine at http://www.designerecollars.com - not sure if it's also in stores.

Dominance: Dog training's dirty word
My 4 month old black lab has alot of energy. Sometimes, after a walk, during a walk or when just playing in the backyard he will stop, look at me then basically "atttack" me... He jumps up starts biting at me. I have tried the "ignoring" thing and the "rolling on the back and "muzzling" thing as well, he reacts better to the dominance roll. Any suggestions?
