What would cause a puppy to urinate very frequently and in very small amounts?
All dogs do this, especially male dogs. It is mostly down to the fact that in the wild, male dogs mark their territory by urinating in their territory. This tells other dogs, that the dog has been there and considers that area its teritory. This is normal dog behaviour usually.
Why do dogs sit with their butts in the air?

How do you keep an old dog from barking at night?

First, of course, you would need to pick it up and set it in the trash.

How do you stop a dog from pooping on paving?
It is next to impossible to train A puppy not to use the bathroom in A perticular spot. The way I train my pups is by keeping them in A confined area, Then I let them out at A set time several times A day. As far as using the grass instead of concrete the puppy will do that on its own in time.
Why would a dog suddenly stop and fall over and after a couple minutes he will get up and be ok?
If the dog has epilepsy, perhaps... The question sounds like it was asked by a 2-year old and my level of respect for people who choose to remain uneducated is very low, so I won't go into any more detail as to why your dog would collapse. Perhaps it's because your language skills made it insane.

When a GSD is carrying his tail upward (in a gentle curved way......not upright or vertical), this is an indication that the dog has gathered enough confidence in himself and wants to assert dominance or show bossiness.

How do you stop a dog from digging holes in your yard?
If your dog is a terrier, you likely won't be able to squelch this behavior completely - it is what they were bred to do after all. Your best bet is to not leave him out there by himself. If your dog is bored they will figure things out to do to amuse themselves, and they rarely choose things their humans are happy with. Another alternative is to provide him with a space where it's okay to dig. Make him a sandbox. Any time you see him digging where he isn't supposed to, make an "UGH" sound loud enough to stop him and attract his attention. Tell him what a good boy he is (for giving you the attention and for stopping digging) and then lead him over to his digging pit. Praise him whenever you catch him digging there. == == I dont disagree with what the top poster said,if it is a type of terrier then its completely normal because these types of dogs were bred to do these things just like pitbulls were bred to defend their owners(thats another reason why all this stuff about pitbulls is stupid)back to the point.This behavior is also caused by not enough walking ,you will notice a change in a dogs behavior if its not digging holes in your yard it could be biting furniture, or even agression.My suggestion is walk the dog .Its kinda like when you get tired of being in a house so long and you just wanna get out.Another way to prevent this is for proper training like the top poster said above.BE PATIENT WITH THE DOG.it will eventually work. now lilly200 TELL IT OFF until it does the right thing....then praise it. put sheet metal on top of the ground
Why does your throat bleed when you throw up?
Your throat should not bleed when you throw up unless of course you throw up A LOT. If you have bloody vomit, you should see a doctor as this could be very serious. If on the other hand you are throwing up so often as to irritate the lining of your throat then you should see a doctor about that as well. I wish you luck.

Who is responsible if a dog kills your dog?
this all depends on where it happened. If your dog was on its own property leased or fenced in and the other dog was unleashed and coming on to your property and kills your dog the owner of the other dog is definitely responsible. If your dog got loose and wandered on to the other property you are responsible. If this happened in the street then which ever dog was off-leash the owner of that dog is fully responsible. That is why it is sad when a person does not have control of their animal.
Why do dogs scrape the ground after they urinate?
Likely because they need their anal glands expressed. If your dog does this consistently you should take it to the vet or at least a groomer, who can express his anal glands before it ruptures and you have to get a painful, costly and messy surgery. You can learn to express them yourself if you're not to squeemish, it's very easy.
What causes excess thirst in dogs?
Polyuria (frequent urination) can be due to several things. First, polyuria with polydipsia (frequent drinking) are common signs of diabetes - the dog drinks a lot of water to replace the water he is losing through urination to get his blood sugar down. Second, polyuria can be due to kidney or bladder issues, from infection to cancer. Third, polyuria can be a sign of systemic disease.

How do you keep dogs from digging?
Answer Some dogs are worse than gophers, they really like to dig especially the younger dogs, so you might try chaining him so he or she can't get close to the fence and I say chain as he could chew a rope.

No she will no longer have heat cycles. The Veterinarian removes all of the reproductive organs so she can no longer come into heat. This makes for a healthier dog and hopefully longer lived one.

Pigs are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and meats. A pet pig should be given a balanced diet more so than a dog which is a carnivore (meat eater). If the dog food is a healthy brand, there's no reason why it couldn't be given to the pig but it should have a comparable dosage of leaf veggies mixed with it.

How do you fix lockjaw in dogs?
Perhaps you should do some research on "pit bulls", because this lockjaw that you speak of is myth.
Quote: "The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of Pit Bulls show that, in proportion to their
size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is
no different than that of any [other] breed of dog. There is absolutely
not evidence for the existence of any kind of 'locking mechanism' unique
to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier,
says Dr. I. Lerh Brisbin of the University of Georgia (from the ADBA booklet, 'Discover the American Pit Bull Terrier.)'"
