Twix & I playing in my classroom

www.pamsdogacademy.com Twix has been to my classroom a few times and came during parent teacher conferences as well. However, he has not been in my class when all those desks are filled with children. So, before I brought him to school with the kids, I wanted to make sure he was really comfortable in the classroom. Prior to doing tricks he hung out with me as I did grades. I have an area in the back that is blocked off with gates, blankets over the gates to make the dogs feel safe, a dog bed, water dish, and a crate. This way when they come to school with me, they can choose to be out with the students or in their safe zone away from kids. It is always their choice and usually they choose to be out with the kids. It is really sweet to watch! Kids and dogs just hanging out together and not stressing each other out. My students have been taught about calming signals and dog body language and are observing Isabelle and Twix (as well as I am!!!!) for any anxiety! Have a wonderful day! PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE! Pam & Twix

Papillon Puppy Jail Fail

We just can’t keep Habbi the Papillon puppy dog behind the gates! Habbi have just joined our family and we are attempting to lay down some ground rules of where he’s allowed and where he’s not allowed. Our lovely friend let us borrowed this baby / pet gate to keep them in. Unfortunately we were unable to keep him behind the gates. He just HAS to be next to us. At night time we can see that he is SOOO sleepy and basically is asleep in his soft bed. If we are still in the living room he crawls sleepily and sacrifices to rather sleep on the cold hard floor then his soft bed inside. When he’s asleep I’ll bring him back to his bed, and 10 minutes later he crawls back out again. And this cycle continues forever.

Finding a pet gate….?

My puppy and senior and are not getting along. The only solution to this problem is to seperate them. I have looked at many stores and online. But can not find the gate I am looking for. Does anyone know where I can find a 60 inch or more length gate within a reasonable price range.

Thanks,
CG

Best way to keep your dog in a safe place during work.?

I own a pom, chi, and german sheppard/mix, my roommate owns a chi/mix. (I know, a zoo!) She works M-F 9 – 6 and I work M – TH 1 – 12. A friend stops by some days and lets them out. The smaller ones are good about holding their wee wee, but the german sheppard is still a puppy and uses the bathroom in one certain room and the smaller dogs have followed behind her and it’s that one room, bad thing is.. it’s carpet! We just moved into a house so we haven’t built a fence yet. What is the best remedy to get the horrible smell out and to maybe keep them confined to the kitchen (it’s a large kitchen) during the day? Or some good pet gates brand, good for a hyper german sheppard, also. Serious answers only, pretty please! Thank you!!
Thank you so far. In a way, I’m against crating because I’m never sure if a friend will come back and let them out. Thanks for all your concerns and answers so far though!!

kittendied-what can i do about this guilt feeling?advice,please?

2 days ago,the neighbors cat came into my front yard.i have 2 indoor-only cats,but they have a sunporch with big windows and plants to enjoy.they seemed to like watching the outdoor cat and she seemed to like going to the windows and visiting my cats.none of them were stressed or angry,they seemed relaxed and inquisitive.my first thought was to shoo her back across the road,but cars were coming and i figured it was safer for her to relax on our patio than for me to go out and startle her or try to pick her up.so i left them to visit.a little while later,my dog wanted to go out.we found a puppy 4 years ago,he grew to be enormous,looks like maybe a wirehaired pointer mix.some sort of hunting dog.he was raised with our 2 cats,who were kittens when we found him.they are shelter rescues.he gets along well with the cats and is gentle and affectionate with them.they sleep next to each other.so,what happened next is terrible.i let the dog out,but heard a commotion.we have a wooden 6 foot tall privacy fence around our backyard,but the gate has open grillwork.somehow,a kitten slipped thru or climbed over.the dog seized the kitten.i grabbed it,but it bit me and i reflexively dropped it.he seized it again,i grabbed it and brought it inside but it died in seconds.i am heartbroken about the panic and fear it experienced in its last moments and about its death. i blame my self for not holding on to it..i keep being haunted by the scene in my mind.i blame myself for not returning the cat to its yard.i didnt know she had kittens,one must have followed her to my yard.the neighbor says theyre not really his cats,she is a stray he’s been feeding for 2 years.she needs to be spayed.she must have had many kittens by now,in the wooded area behind the neighbors house.my husband and whole family feel upset and traumatised by this death,its affecting everything-i feel tremendous guilt because if i had just sent her back home,it would not have happened.any advice?if i can trap/spay her it would help,but after both of us being downsized/out of work/rehired for lower pay,our days of spending for neighbors pets may be numbered,we have our own vet bills.the people in my neighborhood let pets roam free and dont spay/neuter.they mainly thought my upsetness over a dead kitten was somewhat odd.they are of a different culture than mine and dont seem to value animal lives,leaving dogs on 5 foot chains for life.i have paid to neuter animals,rehomed several with the owners permission,and fed animals that were starved by their owners till i could ask to help re-home them.i dont call the crowded local kill shelter,the nondescript beat up animals here would not stand a chance.sorry such a long letter.i feel worn down with grief/trauma and the constant expense of dealing with the irresponsibility of others.its affecting my relationships,i have been so sad and angry the last two days.anyone else go thru this?how do u cope?and,am i at fault for letting the cat stay in my yard-i had no idea she had kittens that would follow her.they must be weaned or nearly weaned,she had no obvious look of a nursing animal.plus,it kills me that when the kitten scratched/bit,i dropped her right to the waiting dog.i feel if i had been stronger i could have held on and saved the kitten.i keep beating myself up and i cant seem to stop obsessing over this.my husband buried the kitten and made a resting place with bricks and stones and tried to make it beautiful,but i cant even go outside and look at it.

Is crating my dog mean?

I have a 6 month old puppy. I used to keep him in the kitchen with food, water, toys and a pee pad. That worked out GREAT until now. He would always only go on the pee pad and as he’s gotten older he doesn’t go as much. However, now he can jump the baby gate that keeps him in the kitchen. I tried getting a taller gate but he can jump that too. He’s a small chihuahua mix but boy can he jump! So I started putting him in his pet carrier that is the appropriate size. It’s only big enough for him to stand turn around and lay down in. When I left for work this morning he was crying so loud I could hear him outside my house as if he was right next to me. I work 8 hours every day and I just don’t know if this is mean but I dont know what else will work. He is a chewer and if i let him roam the house it will be destroyed. Do I put food and water in there with him or just feed him in the mornings and when I get home? I feel awful for my puppy. I thought about getting him a big cage the size for a german shepard but I’ve heard that it’s only supposed to be big enough for him to stand, turn around and lay down in. If anyone has any ideas I’d appreciate it.
