I have been doing a lot of research on what to feed my english mastiff puppy. I am hoping for suggestions from others with mastiffs or giant breeds. I want to feed him a really good quality food at a somewhat reasonable price. Also, I have heard that they only need puppy food until they are 4 months, is this true? I would really appreciate some advice on this issue! Thanks!

I have a beautiful 4 month old puppy, that I love dearly! As a new dog owner, how do I take care of him? How do I train him to go potty on the grass instead of in the house? So far he had 6 accidents on my plush carpet! What healthcare measures do I take? This dog was a gift and did not come with instructions, but he is soo cute, I am pledging to love and care for him. Also how do I adjust his behavior to my young daughter? He likes to bite as a form of playing, has ripped my pant leg, and scratched the entire family up. How can we teach him to play nicely?

I am adopting a Rottweiler/Shepherd mix that is 4 months old. What is the best puppy food for it. Wet and Dry food.

I have a 10 month old male shih-tzu named Bentley. He’s a great dog, and was housebroken by the age of 3 or 4 months. He relieves himself on a "potty pad" that stays on the screened-in back porch.

Just recently, he has started a problem that we consider very serious. Instead of going to the door so that we will let him out, he has decided that he can just pee on our couch or in the bed.

He is crate trained, so leaving him in his crate close to all the time isn’t a problem, but he’s been so good for so long that we can’t understand the relapse (and WHY he only desires to pee on the couch and in our bed).

He doesn’t sleep with us except for "special occassions" (usually when my husband is out of town), but why not just pee on the floor? We have a high bed, so it’s a big jump to make JUST to pee there. He’s done it several times in the past month or so, and the same goes for the couch as well.

Does anyone have any tips for our semi-relapsed pup?

He was going to the front door just fine for the past 4 months; now, he just pees wherever he wants. The only change is that he got fixed, but that wouldn’t effect his potty training, right? What do I do with a dog that knows what’s right, but seems to disobey all of the sudden??
