Thanks for your feedback Mary!
There are so many differing opinions when it comes to spaying/neutering dogs and my Blog was really aimed at informing dogs owners if they are a bit confused by it all. All the Best, Doggy Dan

Thanks for this post. I had to look into my dog’s records to see if I’d done it right. He’s was 41 lb and 15 months when he was neutered. He’s happy and healthy, thank God. This post was very reassuring, too.

Hi David, one of the most important thing when choosing a puppy to suit your family is to focus on the personality of the puppy. Many people will focus on a breed, and it’s fine to have personal preferences here, but when it comes to behaviour it is the personality of the puppy that is most important. For example an owner is after a more sedentary dog then choosing a puppy with a very outgoing and hyperactive personality may not be the best idea, similarly if an owner wants an active driven dog and they choose a cal,er personality puppy. A good breeder will be able to guide you in your selection and should be interested in what type of puppy you are looking for.
As far as getting everything off on the right foot, and raising a happy and well-behaved puppy, then my website TheOnlineDogTrainer.com shows you very clearly how to achieve this…maybe take a quick look…its a $1USD trial for 3 days…All the Best, Doggy Dan

I’m glad you found my Blog helpful in making an informed decision about your dog being neutered. At the end of the day we all need to make a judgment as to what is best for our dogs and us, and part of that is to have all the pros and cons listed out in front of us. However, if you have any questions or concerns then speak to your Vet and they will be able to guide you. All the Best, Doggy Dan

Thanks for sharing that information Liz! Those regulations make perfect sense and I absolutely agree with any laws that aim to stamp out puppy farming. All the Best, Doggy Dan

Hi Susan,
If you are concerned about your dog going out in the night when she is heat then accompanying her outside and having her under control (on-leash) would be a good plan. As the article mentions, male dogs can cover a long distance to reach a female in heat and so it’s a good idea to supervise her or have her housed securely. Coyotes are slight in stature and tend to mainly hunt smaller prey, but it pays to always be cautious if they are present. All the Best, Doggy Dan

I live in the Adirondacks, lots of outdoor activities. Active but slowing down, no more running or mountain climbing. I have owned a few dogs in the past. I am researching dogs right now and kind of like the Spanish Water Dog but still open to other choices that may be less expensive. Can you help me select and prepare for a new member to our family?

I have a puppy miniature poodle. Does this harness prevent the dog from jerking backwards & escaping from the harness? Like I said I would appreciate seeing a detailed video of how to put on the harness and demonstrate how the dog cannot jerk backwards & escaping the harness. Thank you.

We have a Chiweenie, he’s a year old and we going to get him neutered, for health purposes, and to calm him down. This is just what we needed to make that discussion.

Just for your info, in some councils in Victoria Aus, the registration fee is higher for an unspayed dog. Also in Vic most reputable breeders automatically spay dog at 8 weeks. Otherwise you must sign a contract that you will not breed from that dog. Breeders must notify your council of your purchase. These laws were implemented with the clamp down of puppy farms in Victoria not sure what happens in other states.

We have 1/3 acre, but only a small portion is fenced. There are coyotes in our woods. When our girl starts her 1st heat, would she be vulnerable to male coyotes? What can I do to keep her safe, especially if she has to go out at night ? She has a 10 year old sister, a Golden Irish, and they always go out together. Our City Hall says our girls are safe if they’re over 35 pounds, (they attack adult deer, right???, and they’ll stay away if we re arrange patio furniture! Thanks!
