We have a 10 month old female （ small ）.
I have never owned a dog before and have made many mistakes since I bought her when she was 3 months old.
I think she is almost an adult, but her behavior is the same as when she was a puppy, she still pees and poops
everywhere in the room, she picks up food when we go for a walk, and she has taken control of our walks. He pulls in the direction he wants to go, and when a dog comes from the other side, he gets down on his haunches and does not move.

I am an old man and it is all I can do to keep myself from falling when the tether is pulled.
I went to look into dog training at Petco the other day and couldn't find a trainer near my house who would train me.

Does anyone know of a trainer who can speak Japanese?

You'll find quite a few results if you search on video-sharing sites.

You mentioned that your dog almost trips—what kind of leash do you use? ？
Even though they’re considered small, French Bulldogs are actually quite strong, aren’t they? I recommend a shorter rope leash.
My dog weighs 18 kilograms, but since he doesn’t like other dogs, he sometimes pulls suddenly when we’re out for a walk.
Things have gotten a lot easier since I switched to a rope leash.
Rope leashes come in various thicknesses and lengths, so I think it’s worth trying a few out.

"I Love Dogs"
That’s big. Mine will be 1 year old soon, but weighs only about 5–6 kg.
The reason I almost fall is that I’m frail and can’t move my feet as quickly as I used to when I was younger. （ It’s truly embarrassing. ）
Thank you so much for all your advice.

I just moved here from Japan.
We have a small dog and would like to know if you know of any veterinary hospitals in Charlotte that can provide Japanese language services.
Thank you very much.

I have a small dog who is now 11 years old.
Recently, my family's lifestyle has changed and the dog is left alone more and more often, and my neighbors have complained that he is too noisy.
We use a device that makes a sound when he barks, and of course we try not to leave him alone
but we are working together as a family
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

My dog has been barking more since he became a senior.
I play relaxing music when I go out. Loudly scolding a dog when he barks is counterproductive. They think they are being cared for.
I recently purchased Pet Hemp oil for dogs and have been experimenting with it. It seems to be good for reducing excitement and relaxing them, as well as for appetite loss.
I think it might be worth a try to help senior dogs with their day/night cycle.
I think 100% organic products are better.
You can buy it on Amazon and other places.
I have only just started using it, but it seems to relax them somewhat.

Search Amazon for Anti barking dog collar or Citronella dog bark collar or something like that and you'll find a lot of stuff. If it is reported to the Humane Society, you will receive a letter and if the complein continues, you will be fined, or you can do something about it and ask the neighbors how they are doing these days ？ in a low and apologetic way to show that you are concerned and that it is effective.
I took a simple snack, gave them my phone number, and apologized to them to let me know if they were being too noisy, and it subsided.

It is an aging behavior and is not expected to improve.
If he is 11 years old, he is a senior and the only way is to consult a veterinarian.

He needs care just like humans do.
My dog was the same way as a senior, but there was no solution.
First the barking, then the wandering around the room, and on and on it goes.
So we had no choice but to make sure that the family members took turns to stay at home until his last day.
During those years, family trips were not possible, and we did not eat out.

Please take care of her until her last days.

There were quite a few complaints about my parents' dog in Japan, and he had surgery to remove his vocal cords, but the surgery failed and he was lost during the surgery.

Do you know what he is barking at? ？ You could try putting up curtains so he can't see outside as much as possible, or close the windows so he can't hear outside as much as possible. Do you have a crate or something that he can usually stay calm in? ？ It is also a good idea to have enrichment toys for him to play with while you are away from home.
Also, I recently found this relaxing music and started using it. My dog is sleeping calmly while I am away from home.

Greetings.
Is there anyone in Japan who is involved in cat protection activities on Oahu who has already set up an NPO, OR
is thinking of setting one up ？
I would like to exchange information with you.

Our dog has been to several veterinary hospitals, but we have not been able to find a good veterinarian.
Can anyone recommend any veterinary hospitals ？ and why?

I have a dog. I have a few friends who also have dogs and cats, and
some say that hospital A is the best place to go, and others say that same hospital A should not be there.
It seems that the view also changes depending on what you are looking for in a hospital.
Don't you feel the same way about beauty salons? ？
It would be easier to answer if you know specifically what was not good and what you are looking for.

I think you should ask the Hawaiian Humane Society.

They should be able to refer you.

Are you a tropical fish breeder in the U.S.A.?
If you have the following information, please advise me.

・ Please tell us what kind of conditioner you use to remove calcium from the water.
In Japan, we used tap water with Eheim 4 in 1.
I often hear that the water in the U.S. is hard water and the water in Silicon Valley is not undrinkable, but I hear that it is hard water in Kanto and I can't quite grasp the image.

・ I think I will install a heater for the aquarium tank in winter, but is it OK to use a Japanese one as it is?
Would it be better to procure one locally?

・ I found Petsmart as an aqua store, but is there any other aqua stores?

Thanks to the cooperation of many people, we have safely brought Corydoras from Japan.
I just wanted to share some information as I am getting settled into life in Palo Alto.

・ Tap water tastes the same as in Japan. （ I used to drink tap water as it is in Japan. ）
I still have some 4 in 1 that I brought from Japan, so I use it to remove chlorine.
As for bactericide, I use TOPFIN biological clearner which I bought here.

・ The filtering system, Eheim 2213, was shipped separately by air, discarding the filter media.

・ The filter media, hoses, and water tank were purchased from Amazon.
The tank was purchased as a starter set, so the filtration system could be used as a connection until the Eheim arrived.
（ Corydoras pandas finally started to survive after switching to Eheim, so Eheim was a must-have product. I don't know how I held on to it until it arrived ）

・ The bucket was purchased at Dollar Tree. I feel like I can't really find the bucket.


In Japan, I fed Kyorin's Vitacrin Red Beetle, but they do not eat the Red Beetle I bought here at all and I am looking for something else. I thought all akamushi were the same, but I guess they taste different.
Now I feed them corribits that I brought from Japan.
If you have any information on recommended food for corydoras, please let me know.

I was new to animal hospitals so I didn't know the market price. My head was not moving correctly when I made the payment because I was thinking that the hospital bill for humans would be charged too much without insurance, and the fact that dogs do not have insurance was mixed up in my mind, and if I did not pay it, my credit would be bad.
Thanks to this, the people with a thin smile took all the money I had saved to go to Japan.　If I had no savings, I might have acted differently. By the way, my dog is fine.

Cleaning a dog's teeth is expensive. Anesthesia and whatnot can make your internal organs worse if left alone.
After all, you got the treatment, so you have to pay for it. I don't think it's that expensive, but...

First, you will be charged a consultation fee ｡
In an emergency room, the hospital may set a different price, but $ 135-300 is a good starting price ｡ Then you will be examined, and the cost of the examination and treatment will be explained. Usually, you will be given a detailed bill and have to agree to pay it on the spot before you can have the next treatment or exam ｡ 😢
Dental treatments and cleanings are usually inexpensive $ 150 to 300. If there is too much tartar buildup and bacteria invade the gums through the teeth, it can cause all sorts of diseases, but in my boy's case, it broke through the skin and pus came out of his cheek under his eyes ｡ I couldn't believe it at the first hospital … I took him to a different place for a second opinion, and it was still the I took him to a different hospital for a second opinion and the same thing happened, he had an emergency surgery early the next morning and they also cleaned his teeth because he was under anesthesia. ！ There are a lot of really rip-off hospitals that are not that good, so it's better to find a reputable and trustworthy doctor for your dog ｡ I live in OC, so it's a bit far from Los Angeles ？ If you still want to know more, please contact me. <1567> If you still want to know, please contact me directly.
My, my dog's eye specialist is in Ventura and I drive 2 hours to see him every time lol 😆 because of his skill, reputation and friendly pricing ♡.

I think the initial estimate of $1500 for the teeth cleanup and ear treatment is reasonable, but the actual payment of $4300 is high. I think you can refuse to pay any bill other than the estimate if you have not agreed to it. You said it's a Manhattan Beach veterinary clinic, so I guess it's still expensive for the location .

I went to the veterinary hospital that you told me about in the e-mail exchange with Mr. Hanahana. It would be too long to explain everything, so I will report the main points. The treatment was quite serious, but less than half of what I expected to pay （ ＄ 2800 expected ＄ 1200 ） （ maybe ＄ 5000 at the Manhattan Beach Animal Hospital ）. The staff is perfect. I had to go in twice due to the start of treatment after the x-ray results, but I was able to get it done in one visit. I was shown the estimate and agreed to it before starting the treatment. The bill showed a 100% discount on several items, totaling ＄ 130% off. I was very impressed with the clean clipping of my nails （ which was not included in the treatment ）. Thank you Hanahana for introducing me to a very good veterinary hospital.
