My puppy is the same. But I notice that he bunny hops when he's about to pounce on something, like you said with the ball, so maybe it's just a simple case of puppy behavior? Here's hoping anyway!

You have to stay a step ahead of them, lol. I have a long piece of wood (from an old broomstick?) that I drop into the slot to keep the glass door from being pushed wide open by the dogs. I'm glad...

I would try switching to an ointment rather than the drops. IME, this is much easier to apply, since you can rub it onto the inner eyelid. And I know how frustrating it can get, but this does make it...

Maybe you can make an additional color code, and put up notices that warn these creeps that the dogs won't be leaving without a fight. I know I'd be off to jail if someone tried to take my puppy.

I would think that the flirt pole would have the opposite effect - that is it would be an outlet for his desire to chase. You can't go wrong with a good 'leave it' lol. I called my puppy of a...

I have also been told that cougars were released, sometime in the '70s. My neighbors swear they've seen them. They're bears here too, and deer. Why not cougars?
