this has nothing to do with dogs, but how can you get rid of mice with out poison or mice traps? I have mice in the shed i store hay, chicken food, hard dog food, and rabbit food in. I don't want to use traps because the dogs come in there and i don't want them to get hurt, and poison because of the same reason and there is food in there. I HATE MICE

Mouse traps won't hurt a dog. I use them to keep my little dogs out of the bathroom waste basket. There are live traps available made out of galvanized metal that are enclosed and the dogs can't get into those. You can put bait in a wire cage with holes large enough so the mice can get in but the dogs can't. You can borrow somebody's Jack Russel terrier.

Have you ever had a b**ch in heat turn dog aggressive @Tyrosinase ? My b**ch went psychotic this heat. She will be2 in October, so I planned on getting her hips and eyes scored then. But I'm at the point where I have had it with her. My hubby loves and spoils her rotten, but I don't want her for my breeding program. My hubby and I have had fights about it already. Is it normal for Siberians in heat to get like that? Or am I right in thinking temperment issue and being overly spoiled is the problem?

I do have one b*itch that will not tolerate other females (spayed OR intact) during her heat, but not quite to the level I see you were describing with your *****. I'd say it's normal for them to be a little grumpy with other b*itches, but I think you're very right in deciding to exclude her from your breeding program. A certain level of temperament and behavior is absolutely genetic, and being spoiled rotten probably helped tip the scale.

Sorry I have been gone for a while. Got real busy with a lot of different crap. My daughter's mustangs had a radiator fluid leak my hubby had to repair, found a few other issues along the way. It's all fixed now, just in time for her to take of to college, lol.

I started taking Dawn to obedience class, her heat cycle is over. I have really cracked down on her, and I have had to alpha roll her butt numerous times.

This weekend, during my walk with Fiona the Rott, I ended up in roller blades after my son had a really bad fall. He jammed his wrist, cut his hand, and skinned his legs pretty good. Since he stole my roller blades in the first place, I made him put my tennis shoes on and I put the dang blades on. I was doing alright, until I was going downhill and hit a crack in the pavement. Down I went. Luckily I took the fall alright, I bruised my right hip, strained my right shoulder, and have a small bruise on my right calf. I ended up walking back to the truck barefoot rather than wear those skates. I am sore all over, and very grateful I didn't cause a rod to shift in my back when I fell. My son is fine too, his major injury was his wrist, he landed on it hard and it's weak and sore but getting better.

Do you think she would like pulling a little cart? It would be fun for both of you i bet.

My b**ch is interesting to say the least. She is extremely intelligent, which right now isn't such a good thing. She never liked the Rott, because the Rott never acknowledged her as the alpha. The Rott has a attitude of leave me alone I leave you alone. But my b**ch couldn't accept a dog outside her control. The aggression got worse when her heat started, she would get a glimpse of the Rott and go into attack mode. The Rott is spayed. Then my younger b**ch went into heat about 10 days behind the older one. Well the older b**ch started picking on and enforcing her alpha-ness to the younger. But my hubby intervened, and the older b**ch went ballistic. I think my hubby intervened the wrong way, it caused a couple of the other dogs to attack the alpha b**ch. after that it was pretty much all out war in my home. The only dogs my older b**ch could be with was my spayed super submissive female, or the intact male pup, which I wouldn't allow because I didn't want puppies.

The heat is over, the b**ch has calmed a little. She still won't tolerate the Rott at all. I have started to reintegrate her into the pack, she is now running with my neutered male, my intact male, and my super subbmissive spayed female. I won't reintroduce the younger b**ch until her heat is over, which it should be in about a week, if she stays on schedule.

The strange thing is that my alpha b**ch is very sweet with people. No hint of human aggression. I have also discovered that she has no fear of anything and absolute trust in me. I took her to obedience and agility to help run off some pent up energy. After 2 sessions, she is on the full sized teeter tooter and dog walk, weaving, and is a beautiful jumper. I have already taken her off leash and run her through agility sequences, she readily obeys and takes the obstacles I tell her too. The sequence we are working on her with is the weave (with guidance), jump, A frame, tire jump, tunnel, jump, mini dog walk, and table ( she takes everything after the weave on her own). I have not run her on the teeter off leash yet until I know she understands that she needs to pause to let it hit the ground first, but I take her on it while I hold her tab and she isn't afraid of it. Were she has difficulty is in obedience, she struggles with stay. I can't tell yet if it's due to her need to run or if she is subtly rebelling against following commands.
