any other things i need to know about basset i didnt know stair thing.. 1.i brush hes teeth 2.trim hes nails 3.check for thorns and such 4.clean hes ears 5.bath/groom him

he fine ...he playing tug-a-war with hes rope toy ..he just kinda scared me earlyer ...

ok he was in chair beside me about 14 in off the ground and he try to jump into my lap and closedlined himself on arm rest.. after he fell he started whimmpering alot and limped around for min or so now he can walk alright on it but hes not runnig around like crazy ..i figured if there was break he'd yepping still and i gave him bone rubb down he didnt whimmper at all ..just kept eating on hes treat..i dont have money for a vet

see i try the yeeping like a puppy when he bits me he keeps on doing it thought...

i have been working on breaking raisin bitting habbit ..we play but when wants to bit me hard enough to break the skin .i put him in shower {i dont turn it on} but its the only room i have for time out..for 2 or 4 min..he learning but taking alot of work

i do just because hes legs are to short to get down the steps..

makes sence... :)

well as of 20 min ago i was asleep as a baby ..then bam my dog starts barking in his crate i know what it is. he needs to use restroom but i didnt make it in time. he did number one in the crate so first thing first i pick raisin up and take him outside in the rain he does hes business "or the rest of it at least" :roll: then i bring him into restroom where i keep hes crate only room i have got beside bedroom..i clean the floor and crate inside with soap and vinager{sp} from what i have read that removes pee smell trace..then i wipe down raisin the ground outside with rain took care of most of the cleaning him... is there anyway i could handle that better or diffrently ? ok first i didnt have anything in bottom of the crate should there be? from what i have read they say you should keep crate empty for first few months so not to distract the puppy.. i know i should walk him more or took away hes water/feeding bowl earlyer .. he walk over 8 block this evening witch in tx heat with no trees he was tired real quick so i carried him half way home..then drink a ton of waterthen tonight befor bed i took him out one more time witch was 4 hours ago.. EDIT:I JUST REALIZED I DID THIS IN HEALTH SO SORRY..

kool harness thx for link .. yeah i'm sure there no classes here theres only 1k people here and animal shelter where i first went to go look for a dog is ran by one guy who does it for free..i had to get a ride 278 mile away to find raisin and thats after hes breeder went a quater of distance..

yeah thats one thing i read about hound dog is they falloe there noises ...i still feel bad when runs chase something like grasshopper and clothes lines himself..since my first dog i'm just make sure ...we dont have obedience classes in this town...i'm 28 and i don't live at home i live 2 house over its kinda strange and my block is part of historic district so i cant put up a fence :cry: i was loking up a harness befor i read this.. :)

well to answer the bitting thing yes we are playing sometimes but from what i read it says you shouldn't use your hands directly to play with a puppy...for whole bitting thing like my toes i was thinking of getting some bad tasting spray they sale . on another note i haven't try any of bad methods idol stuff that has come alone ..the method you are speaking of i'm doing .. now for whole dad thing i have to disagree my father is retired military so yeah some of he's child rasing skills where rough but he he had 7 of use to deal with and i'm he's only real son ..i think parents today are to damn soft ,i'm sick & tired of whinny kids you talk shit to parents because parents dont beleave in punishment...kids are to damn spoiled today ../end of rant on that ...thx for advice :D

well ,see where i live when i take my dog out to do his :o dirty business :o he wants to run into my next door Neighbor yard ..this can not be aloud my Neighbor has already said if see the dog in his yards its as good as dead .so i go out with him everytime on leash my dog" i figure because he's young" wants to pull against the leash...to the point wheres on 2 legs ..or will be walking and he'll start running a clothes line him self ...he never whimmers in pain ..but sometime he barks ... is this ok i figure from the i have seen other dogs act this pretty normal in bad/young dogs ..i just don't want him to hurt himself and when i'm walking him he want to run or walk but he likes to stop in middle of cross walk and smell around i cant get him to move unless i drag him "afraid of hurting him"..so i pick him up..

hey look at it this way at least i'm asking befor doing...thats one of main reason i joined the forum for everyones input

for everything u read theres about 20 things that say do diffrent...i'm still doing postive training stuff ..my dad thinks being to nice to the dog thats why misbehaving so much...

ok i have a 2 1/2 month old basset hound he loves to bite / nibble as some of u know... i was reading a training guide it said . when your dog gets cought in middle of doing something bad grab the back of hes neck and pinch hard enough to make him whimmper once ..it says this is how hes morther punished him so ..he will no hes doing something wrong..like my dog like to grr and bite my hand ..he acts like its a game ..right now all i have been doing is i hold hes mouth shut for few sec and say BAD DOG...

i never said it was smart to do that just what he did althought he went to school on horse back...

well my grandpa use to raise diffrent types of hunting dogs and he says if have a dog who bites or nibbles alot.. bit hes ear to show whos the boss...

i play with raisin 10 week old about 3 to 4 hours a day...

oh sorry 10 weeks

my dog he gets in crate somedays alright other days he acts like crazy making crate move is this normal and is there anything i need to do?

well my dog was sitting here and mom was eating a lime and she let the dog lick some of it ..is this ok ?he loved it.

thx..he's learning if he keeps quiet ...and doesnt pee on floor in restroom during playtime ..he gets a treat and lots of love ...he has used restroom out side 9 times now and 0 in the crate hes had 2 oops on bathroom floor but only pee..still sticking fast to teaching him ..i was being way to nice on first few days..i almost thought him to sit he did in 2 times out of 9 not bad for first trick...

sorry bad joke,,i was just wondering how long did it take for your dog to get use to he's crate ? mine in hes off and on for about day and ahalf he doesnt like it much...
