General Dog Questions
Sometimes dogs have their own little quirks that just don't fit into a normal topic area — that's what the General Dog Questions section is for. Questions on strange dog behaviour, how to deal with an unruly pet and how to make the right decisions for your pup all fall into this section.
Julie answers questions from choosing the right dog breed to deterring dogs that will chew anything.
Dog Housebreaking Questions
Potty training dogs can sometimes be a little too daunting for both dog and owner. Every dog has his or her own little quirks and demands that just don’t seem to fit the textbook answers on housetraining. Ask your individual housebreaking questions to Julie for a unique answer to your dog’s unique problems.
Julie answers questions on how to jump those house training hurdles from kitty-litter-loving dogs to pups that just can’t seem to tell the difference between your carpet and your lawn.
Dog Health Questions
Dogs can’t tell you when their back hurts or they have an upset tummy. Owners have to learn how to read the health needs of their dogs, which is never an easy task. The DogandCollar.com expert, Julie, can help you to read those puzzling pooch health ailments.
Julie answers dog health questions from dogs that eat the inedible to aging canines that need a little extra attention.
Dog Walking Questions
Is your hound a Houdini? Some dogs can escape from any dog collar and elude even the most snug-fitting dog harness. Julie can help suggest techniques for going for a walk without fear of your dog escaping into traffic. Learn tips and tricks on how to teach your dog that pulls on the leash that it is possible to go for a walk without gasping for air.
Julie gives suggestions on the best type of dog collar and harness for pups who pull and dogs who slip from any collar or harness.
Dog Safety Questions
Do you have a road near your house? Are there other loose dogs in your neighbourhood? Julie can help identify and reduce the risks around your dog. Safety for your pet is important – find the answers to make your dog’s environment safer before an accident happens.
Julie answers questions on dogs that compulsively chase cars and are subjected to other avoidable safety risks.
