Haven't been on in a long time but I've gained a ton of great knowledge here and I'd love to give back and get involved!
My buddy buster is a brindle 1.5 year old bully and if you'd like to see pictures of him, feel free to take a look at/follow us on instagram at AMart79 (GREAT app if you love...
ooh good ideas! I'll have to look around because he definitely eats way too fast. I'll have to head down to the pet store and see what i can find. I'll report back with my findings!
Hey everybody! So pretty simple question. Buster eats really fast, probably too fast for his own good. Today he threw up after eating and most of his kibble was unchewed :\ I've heard of bowls and such that essentially force him to slow down. Anybody else have or had this problem and what did...
I second the bell idea. It worked great for my mom's jack russell. It worked pretty well for Buster until he started deciding the bells were better used as a toy and kept ripping them off. We're lucky, he just goes and sits by the door when he's gotta go. don't know how he picked it up but i'm...
The way we did it was taking Buster to the dog park, after his shots of course. He absolutely loves it. He may actually be that way naturally. He's literally never barked once at another person or dog. He just loves everyone :) On our walk today he ran up to some stranger getting home and...
2 quick suggestions from me (i was beating my head against the wall with almost the exact same problems a few months ago, Buster's about 5 months now). 1) for the whining, unfortunately you kind of just have to weather the storm. For me, I just tried to sleep near him and talk to him to try and...
Yea buster does a lot of the same. i think the best part is, even if he pulls when he sees a dog, he'll stop when he gets to the end of the leash rather than pull you further. I'd recommend it :)
I just got his easy walk harness! We took Buster for a walk today and it was spectacular. He literally did no pulling. Everytime he tried to pull us he would turn himself around and stop. With some minor adjustments when he strayed, he had a pretty great walk. I'd say the only trouble we had was...
I had the same question. Came here, everybody said good things. I figured i'd get one eventually. Then I actually found one and it's probably my favorite thing ive ever bought for buster. I love it and from the looks of it, so does he. He'll chew on it for hours. Petco is no help, they looked at...
i went to a pet store near by and tried one on buster and let him walk around a bit....seems totally legit! whenever he wanted to pull it would turn him around and he would stop. I'm actually excited to get it and use it :) i'll report back when it comes in.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions guys! I ended up getting an easy walk harness for Buster on amazon. Got it for 17 bucks total after seeing them for 30 at the pet store :) I'll update when it comes in and how it goes!
Buster has a pretty interesting tail. I think it must be one of the corkscrew tails. It looks kind of like a pig tail but instead of curling it kind of zig zags almost like the shape of a Z
