Q. Halloween is my favorite time of year. I even named Spooky, my black Scottish terrier, after the holiday.
Think smartly about this. Your dog already wears a collar so why not try to put him in a neckpiece — such as an orange ruff or bowtie. Dogs let us know their limits and Spooky has told you he’s not a circus dog. Listen to him.
Q. My dog is 2 1/2 years old and still has accidents in the house. She stays in the crate with no problem during the day but in the evenings, she sneaks a pee, often on the wood floor in the living room. She also gets out of bed in the middle of the night and may relieve herself. Any suggestions? In your column a few weeks ago, you mentioned two products that took the smell of urine away and I can’t find where I placed the clipping.
Simple Solution and Nature’s Remedy are two products to cleanse dog urine stains and smells.
