I know there are ranch caretakers, where people are hired to live on a ranch and care for all the animals, is there anything with a dog equivalent? Like maybe for a rescue dog sanctuary, or a boarding facility.

I’m 23 and have been looking into seasonal work with housing like park rangers and stuff. But I have a dog which limits my opportunities. I just want to work with dogs (as a trainer or caretaker) and have a place to live. Any ideas?

Hi there! We have a Havanese with some behavioral issues. When we are stationary he tends to bark at anything that walks within 50 feet of us and won't stop and he barks at any little noise he hears relentlessly. When we are at home we just deal with it but occasionally we need to travel with him and have had an awful time with him during hotel stays barking at anybody who makes a noise near our room all night long. We've tried giving him sedatives but he's ridiculously resistant to them. later this year we plan on spending some time outside the country and would need to bring him with but I don't want to take him on a plane just to have him bark for hours straight. I'm looking for muzzle recommendations specifically to stop barking i still want him to be able to breathe, pant, drink water or eat treats so I was looking at the Baskerville ultra on Amazon but wanted to see if anyone with a similar situation has had luck with other muzzles. TIA.

I have a 123 pound Armenian Gampr, I’m looking for an outdoor bed that can comfortably support her while also is heated. She had a heated bed but it broke and a lot of what I see on amazon are just smaller beds with heating. I see some nice big dog beds but they are not heated. Could I just buy one of those big bed then put a heated pad on it or are there better built in versions?

Mi perro desde hace medio año empezó a rascar desesperadamente el piso, empezó con el piso del comedor, luego con su sofá y posteriormente en varias parte de la casa y en mi cama, se sube de la nada y se pone a sacar. No sé por que hace esto ya que nunca lo había hecho antes. Estoy un poco preocupada, no se si es por el calor o que necesita

Our dog park has become so bad that I can't even take my dog anymore. I don't want to make a big deal about any of this if it's a normal thing and we've just been lucky until now.

I get that dogs eat poop, but this is all my dog does at the park now, then he comes home and throws it up.

He loves the park so I really want to bring him back, but we can't right now.

Uk. I recently bought a dog buggy off a local seller. Its to use for my 14yo lab beagle X while I go out for runs.

Any tips/advice on how to make the transition into her being OK in it go well?

We will be bringing our puppy that is at 8 weeks and its a 9 hours drive. any tips and recommendations please.

For context, we adopted our Cavalier pup back in July. By that point he was 6-7 months old and came from a rough start. He was found in a hoarding puppy mill situation but considering all of that he is healthy and so happy! He’s now about 14 months, and while he has improved so much with potty training, he is still having (pee) accidents. Sometimes he goes a few days without, but days like today he did 2 pees inside. He’s really good with going poop outside so I take that as a win!!

I’m wondering if

1) he’s still adjusting/learning considering he came from a hoarder and probably just went potty anywhere.

2) he’s my first small dog (14 pounds), I’d like to think that’s harder to potty train than bigger pups?

3) is there any reason I should have a health concern? being that he only poops outside just fine.

4) anyone else experience something similar? If so, any advice is appreciated

THANKS!!
