Would you ever buy an indoor potty for your dog? I don’t see any reason to ever have to train a dog to pee in the house. If I am going to be gone so often that my dog has to pee on fake grass in my living room, then I should own cats and [...]

Every week, I am going to ask a dog-related question. Since this blog is intended for a wide community of dog lovers, we should be able to help one another out. Basically, I am looking for a lot of input from dog owners on various topics. I don’t care if you’re an “expert” or not. [...]

One of the great things about owning a dog is taking him places. Of course, there are times when it’s nice to take a vacation away from our pets, but in general, I think it’s great to bring them. My boyfriend Josh, my mutt Ace and I left bright and early yesterday for a backpacking [...]

A Gentle Leader is a collar that will stop many dogs from pulling. It works like a horse halter, by fitting over the dog’s muzzle and snapping behind her ears. It’s made of nylon and should fit comfortably, still allowing her to pant, bark, eat, drink and bite. It is not a muzzle. It is [...]

A dog backpack is worth buying. For around $80, there are several brands and styles. I went with the Ruff Wear dog backpack, but there are plenty of other brands out there to choose from. I like Ruff Wear’s gear because it seems to favor usefulness and durability over style. But I also liked the [...]
