I'm not getting a pet, not yet. I'm just wondering about pets for the future. This got started when my friend told me she was planning on getting an octopus (I didn't know they were pets either). I am looking forward to your answers :)|||Cool pets - dogs, bunnies, sugar gliders...

How do you train your dogs and cats to not pee on the floor on the sims 2 pets ps2?
becauase i bought a tree ,and kitty litter boxes and the animals use those but the cat will use the box , and then go in the bedroom or the bathroom and pee on the floor even if the bladder is all the way full.the dog does ok using it outside but he still slips up sometimes. Like once or twice i was able to scold the pets for peeing but ever since then i haven't been able to and i really need to. please help|||The only way to teach them not to pee inside the house is to scold them after they've had an accident.... my dog always runs outside by the garbage can and pees there lol.... i usually don't have cats but sometimes if i do i usually scold them. I hope I helped.... good luck!!
Katie... :)|||The only way to get them not to go on the floor is click on them after they've had an accident and it will say praise or scold, you have to scold them so many times for doing that before they are trained.|||buy a willow tree

Is it hard to travel with pets (dogs) on airplanes?
I live and work about 13 hours away from my hometown and where my family still lives. When I go home to visit, I usually fly because I cannot stand being on the road 13 hours. However, I am really wanting to get a small dog (10lbs or under) and I'm wondering if it is difficult to fly with a pet. I have looked up several airlines pet policies and it looks like a lot of them do allow pets. For those of you who have flow with pets (or know more about flying with them than I do) please advise me on whether or not its difficult to have a pet and be able to fly home on occassion. I usually go home a few times a year (usually around the holidays). Of course, I probably wouldn't take my pet with me everytime, just occasionally if I stayed home to visit for a while. Thanks!|||I wouldn't suggest flying with a pet. I did it once and was horrified at the way they treat them. They are treated like a piece of luggage. They can be left out on the runway with the luggage in the freezing cold or blistering heat waiting to be put on and taken away from the plane. If you're flight is delayed, then you have no idea where they keep the animal. The airlines sometimes lose the animal or it's let out of it's cage. You should not sedate your pet because they get moved and rocked around so much they can get hurt smashing against the sides of the cage. Find a good pet sitting service, neighbor or kennel for your pet when you're gone. It's just too stressful for you and the animal. Good Luck!|||Or a good friend that you can trust for your pet to stay with while you are gone ( you will come back to a dog that's happy to see you.
|||Yes, it is possible to fly with pets. The airline will tell you what size cage you need, vaccination certificates etc.|||oh my god do I have a horror story for you . Please do not fly with your dog . It is a horrible and traumatic expieirience for them . I flew (my mother and I did ) with both our dogs . My mom had her husky and I had my female chi. They were both in seperate cages or carriers rather . Well to make a long story short . Some idiot in the cargo dept decided to put my dogs together . When they arrived both my mom's husky and my chi were covered in dog doo and vomit . it seems that the husky threw up in flight and the husky also dooed all over herself . which my chi ended up getting covered in . I took my chi to the vet because she developed a cough over the next few days and it seems that she has ingested something that was similar in compound to jet fuel !!!! She had developed pneumonia and had to be put down the next month . I was so ticked at the airline I could not speak . I am still in negoiation process with them and my lawyer says it looks real good . so for god sake do not fly with your dog. I hope I helped.|||Check with your airline. Tiny dogs can sometimes be carried in a carrier which you can stow under your seat on short flights. We are able to transport some of our small rescues that way.|||A dog was hit by a plane on our local runway last summer. He had gotten free from cargo two weeks earlier and the airport was not able to catch him. They did not call the SPCA in and handled the whole thing miserably.

How can I help my 5 year old son not to be afraid of dogs or any pets at all?
My son is 5 and a half and when he was 2 we had a little dog get into our yard and jump all over my son's back (which was bare because he wan't wearing a shirt) and scratch him up. He has been so scared of little dogs or dogs that like to play ever since. I have so many friends that have dogs and it has come to the point where we just won't go there anymore. There has to be something I can do to show him that dogs are awsome pets. Do i get a dog and let them bond or do I just take him to my neighbor's who has a dog every so often and get him used to their dog? I don't know what to do. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.|||Start going to adoption events where you can be one on one with the dogs. We actually have parents bring their kids up all the time. We are in the same location at petsmart every saturday so its easy to find us and we are always there.
We always have biscuits for the dogs and let the little ones give them biscuits. We really do see many improve over time. I think many do it more as a bonding something "they do" with their kids. And it does help. There are dogs of all sizes and shapes some barking some quiet he will get see many different ones.|||l think making him get use to other people's dogs might help. but getting a small puppy and having it around will help the most. but puppies tend to bite a lot. so l told my sister to go to the shelter and get a dog that was not too old but a adult dog and her little girl got use to that dog and now are bond so close it is almost impossible to separate them|||Maybe take him to a petting farm or something. Or get a very small, very sweet and very cute puppy for him that will grow up into a relatively harmless dog - like a cocker spaniel or a golden retriever or something gentle %26amp; sweet.|||You could try buying him a stuffed animal that looks like a dog. But he may be too old for that to really help him, so I'd say your best bet is to maybe let him get used to dogs a little bit. Put the dog on a leash, and let your son know he can't get to him, but that your son can get to the dog. Just give him time to bond with it. Maybe take him to a pet store, they never have aggressive dogs there (for safety reasons of course) and they're mostly all puppies. Take him into a meeting box with one and see how they do.|||Go to the pound and volunteer to walk some older dogs that are fine with kids. Have your son help you to walk them as well. I wouldn't take him around puppies though, because they bite and that will no help his situation. After he gets used to the idea, you could adopt one of the dogs he's been walking (only if he wants of course) and hopefully he will get over his fear.|||Why not just accept that he doesn't like dogs and not go around them? As someone who grew up as a child being afraid of dogs, my experience has been that when your parents foist a pet dog on you, you learn not just to fear dogs but also to dislike them.|||I'm afraid of dogs too. Esp very active ones.
I guess you really need to start slow. My mum get a little puppy shi tzu that is so harmless and cute looking when it is young, slowly i get used to having dog around. You don't have to force him to interact with it, slowly he will get use to it, and sometimes play with it. Don't expect him to Love Dogs, just let him get over the phobia first is the best.
By the time the little puppy grows up and become big, I'm already use to it. Though I'm still scared of very active dogs, i'm still ok with them being near me (I use to jump around to avoid being near them when I'm younger)
I guess you need to let ur kid grow up a little more so that he will not jump around when he sees a dog.
I think to him, at this young age all dogs/puppies look enormous to him. Give him time. When he is old enough, get a small cuties puppy and let him grow up with it.|||I was deathly afraid of dogs as a child. My parents decided to get a dog to get me over my fear. I was about 7. They got a grown Siberian Husky from a relative and knew the dog was very mellow and friendly. My parents introduced me to the dog and because she didn't attack me and because she was so sweet, I got used to her very quickly. I would take the dog for walks with my parents and I was still scared when other dogs approached, but because I had a well mannered dog with me, I felt protected and this helped me slowly get over my fear. I still have it ingrained in me. Any time I see a strange dog running up to me I still feel that fear I did as a kid, but I can control it now. So it may never go completely away. But without a doubt, my parents getting that dog got me over my fear. I think it's a good tactic, as long as you are certain the dog is kid friendly and not aggressive.|||Maybe take him to pet stores where the doge are either behind glass or cage areas and keep quite a distance between them and your son. that way you and he can just watch them without interaction. Do this for several times until your son realizes that they cannot get to him and he can watch how they play and interact with other dogs in the same pen. Then your son will realize they are playful not trying to hurt him specificaly, with your telling and reconfirming voice . After several times your son will be a little braver and you can shorten the distance between the pens and you and he will adventually want the pups to lick him.|||you might try to find some people in your area that have therapy dogs. these dog visit hospitals to see sick kids and adults. there are therapist that can help you with this problem please do not push the child into petting a dog till he wants to. i hope that he can over come this problem. good luck|||I work at a shelter and we have had several dogs brought to us because they were purchased to help a child overcome its fear and the child didn't, so the dog was kicked out. This is not an option I would rush into.
I really think this question should be posed in a different category - childrearing or psychology. This is not a dog issue, but a people one. If your son is that afraid, simply having a dog around may not solve the problem. I'm terrified of bees, and I'll tell you that having a wasp in my house will NOT make me like them!!!! Get some tips on desensitization for a child.|||i would take him to the local pet store where he can watch the dogs through the glass, watching them this way the puppy are completely non threatening. eventually with a little time and patience he will want to pet the puppies while someone else holds the puppies and he can hold onto you.|||What I would do is start him off with something small, like a hampster or something like that. It will take some time for him to get used to these animals but let him do it at his own pace and don't push him. Take him to the pet shop and ask the people who work there if you can hold the animal. Show him how to do it as well. Let him hold it, but only if he wants to. Gradually move on to bigger animals, like kittens and rabbits, etc. When the time is right, he will understand that all animals will not hurt him, and that he just had a bad experience. I would let him interact with your neighbor's dog only when he initiates it himself. Thats not to say you can't...If he sees you doing it, chances are he will want to also.

Does pets allowed mean that pets are free?
I have been looking at apartments, and some say pets allowed. Does this mean that pets can live their free without a monthly, or deposit fee?|||In general, I'd say no. Apartments/condos/rental homes require you to pay a pet fee so they cam properly clean the apartment after the animal has been there. That way they can get all the dog hair and dander out and get any smells out, fix damage, etc. "Pets allowed" just means they allow you to have pets on the premises, and will likely require you to pay a one-time fee.|||No, definitely not. The apartments I have lived in had a pet deposit, some of which was refundable. For dogs, I know the last apartment I lived in had a one time fee, as well as a monthly fee. I would just call and ask what the fees are, as well as what pets are allowed.|||Probably not most placed that allow pets require a monthly fee in case your pet damages something like the carpet or walls.|||absolutely not! Mostly likely there will be a deposit upon move-in.|||Yeah, I'd say that they're free, but there could be a SMALL fee
Are there places that can take care of your pets while you are away in New York City?
This might be a little early to worry about it, but I'm planning a trip abroad during the summer, and my cat would be left alone for a month. My friends can't take him either because their apartments don't allow pets or they just don't have the time to come over and feed him everyday. Are there places in New York City that can just take care of my cat for a month or so while I'm away? For reasonable prices?
Thank you.|||The very first place to try is asking at your vets. Oh, not about boarding, although that is an option. But what you probably want is a pet sitter, and your vet can usually suggest a reliable company. Sometimes even technicians in their office will do it for extra pocket money.
Pet sitters charge on a sliding scale, depending on how many times a day you want, and if you want them to play with your cat, groom and brush, etc. It is usually better than boarding your cat, as your cat stays in familiar surroundings.
If your vet doesn't have a suggestion, I have posted a link. You can do with it as you like, as I have no idea about any of them.|||http://www.nycdogwalk.com/

What does it mean to dream that you are always trying to make sure your pets are safe?
Ever since I was little I would have dreams with different settings and situations, often the situations were dangerous or unsafe, like tornadoes or volcanoes or fires, but a reoccurring them is that I would always try to make sure my pets and family were safe, most often my pets were the ones I was trying to save.. What does this mean when I dream about trying to protect my pets?|||I have these dreams frequently too and they're always very distressing. I'd say that it's because you love your pets dearly and would be devastated if anything were to happen to them, and perhaps you're subconsciously worried that something will in the near future.|||I have these dreams frequently too and they're always very distressing. I'd say that it's because you love your pets dearly and would be devastated if anything were to happen to them, and perhaps you're subconsciously worried that something will in the near future. It's crazy how much we rely on our pets even though we're the ones who look after them! Also, perhaps the reason you're trying to save them more than your family is because your family can look after themselves, whereas you are the sole carer for your pets and they would be pretty much helpless in dangerous situations like these so you feel the need to protect them more.|||i have had these kinds of dreams too. but in my dreams, it always seems like i cant help them. sometimes i wake up crying. i know my ex girlfriend used to wake me up at night cuz i was having nightmares about something bad happening. who knows why we do it. maybe we are just worried about our little buddies. who knows.|||Nothing bad, but your very worried/ paranoid of the fact you may not be able to controll the saftey of your fellow fury friends. Im kinda like that. I mosty fear of fires though in my house if we lost everything including my animals :(
