My dream is to be a dog trainer, groomer, and kennel manager. I have over a year experience in training dogs.
What would the yearly salary of all these be combined in NC?

What to do about a dog bite on the hand?

My dogs paw got caught in my other dogs collar and while trying to get my dogs paw out, my dog bit my mom. It was a small bite but her knuckle is really swollen and it hurts so bad that she can barely move her hand. Is it something we should worry about or should we just put some ice on it?

I really love dalmatians but i know they are massive, which i dont really like, is it possible for a dalmatian to breed with another dog breed and form a puppy with spots. I have never seen such a mix so i’m just wondering. Thanks :)

How long does it take for rabies virus to transfer?

If a rabid dog bit a healthy dog (but said healthy dog didn’t have rabies vaccine) and then the healthy dog bit someone an hour or so later, would that person be at risk for rabies? Or is there like a certain amount of time the virus would have to be in the animals body for it to be transferable?

Both my dogs are going into surgery tomorrow for their spay and neutering. I was wondering what I should expect from them and how to make them as comfortable as possible. Thanks!

How can I get my rat to use his chew toys?

I have two male rats, about 4 months old, and one of them is having a chewing problem. He keeps chewing on the bars of his cage and I’m trying to get him to stop. I keep buying them wood blocks and other things to chew on, but he won’t pay any attention to them. I don’t know if he’s chewing because he’s restless, or because he’s trying to gnaw down his teeth, but they both get about an hour out of their cage every day so they shouldn’t be too restless. Any advice?

My dog is constantly barking. He barks when we’re eating, he barks when he wants to come upstairs (that’s another issue, he used to come upstairs by himself, but now he won’t, he just barks so someone can come and pick him up and bring him upstairs. what is that about and how can i stop it??) he also barks when my family is sitting in the living room watching a movie, but only when we’re watching a movie. why does my dog bark during the movie (since the other times he barks is kind of self-explanatory) and how can i stop is constant barking?
thanks for the answers, but my dog isn’t the type that shuts up after one says "no!" what more should i do?
He’s a lhasa apso
