just a question, are you home during the day with her? or does she use (or not use) the doggy door while you work?

i have a pug, and he feels the same way. he holds it so he doesn't have to stay outside so long, only goes a little. he'll huddle by the door and cry. i shoveled a big area in the grass mostly clear for him and that helped. don't know how much sn...

i have 3 dogs and i have to stand right there while they eat and keep an eye on them. the pug will try to get into the others' food bowls (he finishes first) and it's a problem. i tell him "leave it" as soon as he makes a move toward the others and...

For chewing, with my pug I have had great luck with pig ears. I can get a big bag at the wholesale warehouse place; pet stores have them, too. My dogs love Nylabones, too. I know some dogs don't care about them, but mine have. They chew on them a...
