Hehe... sorry abuanddiego. Meron pang dog's last will and testament di ba. Mas nakaka iyak yun. Ewan ko ba why i keep on reading both pag nakikita ko. Eh alam ko na naman na maiiyak ako.

On movies with dogs naman, naku suko na ako. Very last na talaga yung hachi/hachiko. Masikip sa dibdib talaga kaya ayoko na mga ganung types ng movie... Although recently i watched war horse. Hay.

I'm a cat lady. I used to not care about dogs. But when i met my bf, things changed. His family includes a 9-year old Pitbull. The dog was intimidating at first and hates me lol! Whenever he sees me hugging my man, he would always jump on us and get a hug too! But after a while, I learned to love him and vice versa. Now, he likes to cuddle with me on the couch, nibble my toes and gives me a lot of kisses. When we moved in together, we decided o get our own dog, a female blue-nosed Pitbull. She is the sweetest thing ever! And her daddy spoils her a lot! But he thinks otherwise! Haha! Kelangan ng mabahang pasensya, especially for a naughty breed. Potty training took about a month. Vet appointment is every 2 weeks. Walking her at least 4 times a day is one thing I complain a lot cause I would rather stay inside the house and be cozy. But i got used too it and walk her more often. It just takes a lot of patience and love. And it pays off cause she would also give you her undying and unconditional love.

^kasi diba sa grooming centers kasama na rin daw yung anal glands expression sa package, eh baka akala nila ganun-ganun lang yun kawawa naman mga dogs kung biglain nila.

ATC yung gamit namin sis, sa Landmark Trinoma ako bumibili isang bottle 100pcs. yung laman. Kay diego 2x/day, kinakain nya yun ng parang treats lang alam mo naman kasibaan nun. sa maliit 1x/day, hirap ako magbigay, kala mo nagpapainom ako ng maliit na bata kasi hahawakan ko sa bibig saka ko pipisilin para lumabas yung oil, dip ko sandali sa warm water para mas lumambot. Feeling ko baka ayawan nya yun kasi ang lansa talaga, si Abu nagaamoy galunggong/tinapa kasi kumakalat sa bibig nya haha! May isang bottle pa nga kami dito padala from US eh may soy naman di ko tuloy maibigay sa kanila, kahit ako sumakit tyan ko dun. Baka pag sa kanila ko ibigay kumulo ang mga tiyan hehe

^naku kakapalit lang namin ng leash to retractable...ingat ingat pala dapat. Kami usually nilolock namin sa length na gusto namin, for example pag walking, medyo maiksi yung leash, pag nasa park kami, medyo mahaba para makatakbo ng konti si Kaki. delikado pala to nakakaputol ng daliri  :o

Hindi pa kami nakapagtry nito for our fur babies. Toy size lang kasi sila kaya hindi namin nilileash.

^sis si kaki toy size lang din (princess type na tzu) pero kasi pag nilalakad namin sa labas, hindi pwede na walang leash napakacurious nya kasi kung san san napupunta baka masagasaan pa. kahit sa park nakaleash pa rin sya kasi baka kung san mapunta, di pa sya trained na wag lumayo samin e.

^Madalang ko kasi sila ipasyal. Pag kasi pinapasyal namin sila nakakarga or nasa bag lang kaya. Tnry din namin sila ileash kaso ayaw maglakad parang nakafreeze sila kapag nakaleash. ^_^

sis gogreen, nagulat nga din ako sa nabasa ko grabe talaga yung sa naputol yung finger. Tingin ko safer pag toy dog ang gagamit pero pag larger dogs hindi talaga to pwede kahit pa sabihing trained sila.

sis jhen, maraming vids sa net about leash training, search mo lang tapos try mo sa kanila. pag ganyang ayaw maglakad kailangan daw ng motivation. kung sa food sya mahilig food gamitin mo, pag toy naman fave toy nya gamitin mong pangtrain. mas maganda kasi talaga pag nakaleash, iwas accidents. required din kasi sa law natin na lagyan sila ng leash if nasa public area, and if I'm not mistaken 5ft. yung max. length ng leash. yung mga alaga ko ayaw din sa leash, free roaming kasi sa bahay pero yung tzu mabait naman pag nakatali. ang ginawa ko noon para matuto sya, may hawak akong toy para dun madivert attention nya. dati kasi kinakagat nya yung leash pero habang tumatagal nasanay na rin. just like you pag namamasyal kami madalang sila ilapag sa floor, pero pag toilet breaks or magwawalk na, lalagyan ko talaga ng leash. pag lalakad ako lakad din sya then pag nagstop ako, stop rin sya.

^ thanks sis abuanddiego. I'll try my best para matuto siya. Dapat nga talaga matuto silang nakaleash kapag namamasyal kami. Naiinggit nga ako sa ibang dogs na sumusunod sa owner nila kahit nakaleash. Parang masenjoying ang pagdogwalk kapag ganun. Thanks again ^_^

^ur welcome. ideally dapat leashed trained talaga mga dogs at every time lalabas tayo dapat nasa leash talaga sila no buts no ifs, ang sabi nga dogs belong on leashes. and as owners, we should be responsible for them at all times wag din natin isipin na porket nasa leash eh okay na. dapat may control tayo at hindi yung hayaan lang natin sila maglakad kung san nila gusto. always keep in mind na hindi lahat ay dog lover, maraming tao ang hindi nakakaintindi so as dog owners ipakita natin na responsible tayo and kaya natin sila ihandle, at least kahit sa sarili man lang nating dogs nagagawa natin yung part natin.

madali naman sila matuto as long consistent sa training. kahit 10-15mins lang then 2-3x a day yung session, matututo agad sila. kailangan mo lang talaga ng "object" na magpapagalaw/pasunod sa kanila. etong shih tzu ko kasi mama's boy, sunod ng sunod sakin kaya madali ko sya mapasunod, pag naglalakad nga kami tapos nauuna sya lumilingon sya sa likod para macheck kung andun pa ako sa likod nya ;D

kung yung iba naiinggit sa mga nakaleash na sumusnod ako mas naiinggit sa mga nakaoffleash na sumusunod pa rin..though problema ko pa rin hanggang ngayon pag nakaleash lab ko dahil ang dalas maghila..

yung sa bf ko offleash man ir nakaleash sumusunod lang sakanya at kapag huminto siya hihinto din..like kapag tatawid sila automatic humihinto at inaantay na pwede na sila tumawid.. yung sakin walqng pakelam kahit may darating na sasakyan mukang masasagasaan pa..hindi nga niya tnrain yun eh kusa lang daw natuto..

ang napansin ko naman sa dog ko distracted sa maraming bagay kaya ang hilig maghila at dahil malaki siya nadadala niya ko pag madalas..kaya hindi pwede samin yan retractable leash

ang maganda sa kanya kapag malaki yung lugar at inoffleash ko sumusunod siya sakin lalo na kapag nakikita niya na papalayo na ko..pag may nakita ibang aso at pusa ayun hindi nako nageexist para sa kanya lol..

since malaki dog ko at marami natatakot sa kanya (may dahilan naman dahil ang hilig mangdamba) lagi siya nakaleash pag nilalabas ko sa matao na lugar..

wag pakainin ng buto ng manok kasi nakakabutas ng bituka. ang pinaka importante wag pakainin o bigyan ng chocolate lason sa mga dog ang chocolate kapag nakakain ilang minutes lang patay na dog

^Sis nakuha nyo na ba ang dog? shih tzus kasi being a companion breed craves attention, gusto nila parating may kasama, sadyang ganun ang nature nila. so hindi okay na maiwanan sila magisa maghapon. actually lahat ng dogs hindi magandang iwanan mag-isa maghapon kasi may effect yan sa temperament nila, pero mas malala mangyayare sa companion breeds. They will suffer from separation anxiety, pipilitin makawala, sisirain yung cage, door, lahat ng gamit, magwiwi poop all over the place, tatahol ng tatahol, magpapakagutom, madedepress. I believe they can be trained to be independent dogs pero matagal na process. Kung sobrang busy ka like gabi mo lang sya makakasama, I highly suggest na wag muna kumuha ng dog kasi kawawa talaga sila pag walang kasama the whole day. Dogs are companion animals, hindi sila dapat iniiwan for a very long time. At ikaw rin mahihirapan kung magkaroon ng behavioral problems, possible din kasi na magreklamo ang boardmates mo kung mag-ingay sya tapos wala ka.
