How do you teach a dumb dog to fetch?

Usually a dog will figure it out with repetition. If you keep throwing a ball it may initially just pick it up off of the ground to bring it back but as it's fetching skills improve it will likely start to try and catch it out of the air. Of course it all depends on the dog breed and the dogs athletic abilities. The more you play fetch with a dog the better they will get at it. Some dog breeds have no instinct or desire to chase or catch anything. Huskies are a good example of this. Most of them will sit and look at you as if to say "you go get it; I'm not going to bother!". Their instinct is to run, not fetch. A Retriever will typically be very good at catching things and bringing them back to you; it is their instinct.

Why wee is yellow?

Some European alchemists in the middle ages apparently thought one possible reason was that there was gold in urine. This led to fruitless, and possibly quite disgusting, efforts to extract that gold.

The yellow color in urine is due to chemicals called urobilins. These are the breakdown products of the bile pigment bilirubin. Bilirubin is itself a breakdown product of the heme part of hemoglobin from worn-out red blood cells. Most bilirubin is partly broken down in the liver, stored in the gall bladder, broken down some more in the intestines, and excreted in the feces (its metabolites are what make feces brown), but some remains in the bloodstream to be extracted by the kidneys where, converted to urobilins, it gives urine that familiar yellow tint. (Here is a great diagram of some of these reactions, from the Boehringer Mannheim Biochemical Pathways at ExPASy.)

Should my dog wear a harness. He is on a clothesline type thing so he has free roam of the back yard. And I wonder what would be best harness or leash?

harness and leash are 2 different things. the harness is what the dog wears and the leash clips to the harness so you can hold or tether the dog. You might mean harness or collar, in that case, a harness is better for tethering your dog as there is no risk of the dog choking itself

-

The harness would be much safer for your dog.

Why women use dogs for sex.Is it harmful for human health?

I don't know where you're from, but the vast majority of women do NOT use dogs for sex in the U.S. I have never heard of any woman who has done it, nor would they admit to it if they had, because they would be looked down upon by our society.

Why any woman would use a dog for sex I cannot answer. I have a good imagination, but the idea of having sex with a dog repulses me. There is absolutely nothing attractive about them. They're dirty. They stink. They lick their private parts. They aren't very intelligent. They occasionally eat garbage, vomit, and excrement.

If they lick a woman's vagina, they could possibly cause infection by spreading bacteria inside her if their mouth is dirty. They might also give her a urinary tract infection by getting bacteria in her urethra, which could lead to bladder infection, kidney infection, and possibly Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). I don't know what the chances of this are, nor do I care. I would never have sex with a dirty animal.

You are trying to teach your dog sit He does really good but then it was like we started all over again I am not sure what the heck happened. Will someone help?

If your dog is an adolescent, it may be a learning plateau. Adolescents will sometimes do well learning a skill and then suddenly act like they've never heard of it before. Don't worry. He hasn't really forgotten. Be patient and continue with training, returning to easier steps of the same command. Keep training even when he's ditsy to help him work on focusing. It doesn't matter if he actually learns anything new during a learning plateau. Just keep his mind thinking as much as it can. In a few weeks the lights will suddenly come back on and he'll remember what he already learned. ==Other contributors have said:== * You have probably not reinforced it for long enough.
