dog advice
I am passionate about dog advice & making life better for every dog I encounter. I am forever gathering information for my own use in the day-to-day running of a house full of dogs, so I blog a lot of what I find. I also blog when I need to rant about something that needs to be ranted about. I hope you enjoy my blog. I’ve blogged about topics ranging from dietary info to grooming to behavioural issues. If what you are looking for isn’t on the blog, please contact me at grace@rrruffhouse.com and I will see what I can do.
REAGAN
This is a Reagan update, she has been with us now about six weeks and in that short time she has learned many things. When Reagan came to us she was a bit of a wild dog in the sense she had zero manners, jumping on furniture, people, tables you name it, if she could...

FUNNY AS HELL
So today I was out on the deck and was playing with the dogs and dropped the ball in the pool and my bulldog Misses went crazy trying to get it out of the water, she spent a good 45 minutes trying her damnedest but was far from successful. Although she was upset that...

HOW COME THE PHRASE ” BREAK A LEG” IS GOOD LUCK?
If the phrase break a leg is good luck, it has to make me wonder what kind of luck the person is having that breaking a leg is an improvement! I know your thinking " what does any of this have to do with dogs?" well nothing really, but in a beat around the bush kinda...

EIGHT YEAR OLD GIRL RUNS A PACK OF DOGS
I love it when even an eight year old little girl can run a pack of dogs with collective weight of about 900 to 1000 ponds!! She weighs about 60 pounds, just goes to show with a balanced pack of dogs any one can control a yard! I am so so proud of the pack I have...

Puppet Swimming in the drinking bowl
We were just wondering the other day if Puppet would like the water, we live on the water and like to take the dogs swimming. So based on that she didn't like to have a bath and if you pulled the hose out she ran like the wind we thought, okay so I don't think she...
POOR REAGAN GIRL
Poor little Reagan our deaf puppy went in today to be spayed and while we were there discovered she also had a hernia, so we did both operations at once. She has been home since 3:30 pm and so far she has not opened her eyes for than about a minute or so. Reagan is...
How to Break Up a Dog Fight
First, do not get rid of your instincts. There is no knowledge behind instinctual intelligence so “not thinking” is actually a good thing. In my profession, I only use “thinking” when I have to explain something to the human. With dogs, it’s all about instinct and...
SUNDAY PLAY DAY!
Sunday was a beautiful sunny day and due to the dog park being infested with ticks at the moment we did Sunday service here at the house. It was a great day and I got to see my Opie " aka Boss " and of coarse Diesel the two best looking rottweilers around if I do say...

ANOTHER DAY IN THE YARD
Oh to have the life of a dog! Basking in the suns rays without a care in the world, can you say jealous?
Deworming Dogs and Puppies
Although nearly all dogs are infested with parasites at one time or another, most develop an immunity that keeps the parasite population in check. This immunity can break down, however, under conditions of stress or ill health. When that happens, the worms increase in...
LAZY KINDA DAY
First real sunny warm day and the dogs were just lounging and relaxing, some more than others. Junior took sunbathing to heart.
