Frequently
Asked QuestionsQuestion
1: I’d like to teach my dog to stay out of the kitchen. I cook a lot, and
I’ve seen a couple of dogs that were scalded and had big scars caused by pans knocked
off the stove. How can I do this, and how long should it take?
Question
2: I have a fence around my pool, but my puppy is small enough to crawl through it.
Question
3: I like to take my dog everywhere with me in the car, but he’s a little crazy
while I’m driving and ends up in my lap most of the time.
Question 4:
I like carrying my dog in the back of my pickup truck.
Question
5: I have a dog that plays with rocks, and I’m afraid it might swallow some of
them.
Question
6: My puppy has its own chain link dog run. Every time I open the gate to go in and
feed or clean, he dashes out between my legs and takes off running. It is dangerous and
frustrating to have to deal with this every time I go to his gate.
Question
7: When I’m taking my dog out of its carrier, I have a hard time getting the
leash attached to its collar because there’s so much wiggling going on.
Question
8: When I give my dog a treat, he grabs it so fast and with such force that he has
bitten my fingers.
Question
9: I try to walk both my dogs at the same time, and I end up looking like a comedy act
with the leashes tangled around my legs and sitting on the ground. It’s dangerous.

| Question 3: I like to take my dog everywhere with me in the car, but

| Answer: The ideal ways to carry a dog in the car are in a
carrier (seat-belted) or belted in with one of the dog seat belts available in most pet
supply stores. We don’t allow children to be unrestrained in a car and the rules
should be the same for pets. A pet can get in your line of vision or under your feel and
not only make it impossible for you to drive safely, but possibly cause an accident. |
| Question 4: I like carrying my dog in the back of my pickup truck. |
| Answer: This is not safe! If it is too hot, or too cold,
or if you’re in an accident, your dog may die or suffer injuries. This is totally
irresponsible behavior. However, some people even transport their children this say. What
can I say? |
