First off, I'm getting a small apartment with my best friend next year when we are college sophomores. I'm looking for a low maintenance dog, with minimal shedding and easy to house train. Affectionate but okay while we're in class and such... I was thinking a beagle but it apparently is hard to train, so any suggestions are appreciated (link)

I have a Basset hound, not the eaiset to train, but they hardly move or bark.

I just loved your advice. Thank you once more;
My boyfriend lives with me and my parents, so she is like our dog; but every time he lays in the floor, she is all over him, giving him kisses, always coming to him, ect.
When I lay in the floor, I get nothing. I just don't get it. I spend all my quality time with her. Since I've had her, I haven't been to school because of Christmas break,
I play with her. I've tried the treat thing, I bathe her, feed her, get her ready for bed, I play with her for atleast an hour or so; I take her outside when its a little warmer out; and let her run around. I do everything, but still nothing. She doesn't even kiss me.
I just feel like, she doesn't love me, and she loves my boyfriend who has NOTHING to do with her.
I just want a dog to call my own. A dog that will follow me and don't leave my side.
I feel like I'm running out of options, but than again she's only three months old.

Yes, It does take alot of courage and love to get a dog to love someone. Some dogs just get attached to a certain person, and not others. It may feel like it's being harrassed, as so many people giving a dog attention can cause stress, maybe it would help if in the mean time, if your boyfriend isn't home or something, have alone time with her, make some homemade dog treats, prepare your dinner, (Something humans and dogs can eat) and share it, just relax with her and pet her. Stay and pet her until she falls asleep, and call her something cute, and always call her in a bright cheerful voice. Or, you can try taking her for a long walk on the weekends, or maybe when you get home from school. And, talk to her about it, trust me, even if she can't understand your words, she'll know that you care about her.

Ok, I live with my parents, and I have a three month old Yorkie. I want her to follow me around everywhere I go in the house just like the two dogs we have as well follow my mom.
Everytime she gsts up, they get up and follow her, everywhere she goes in the house.
She's my dog, and I want her to be that way with me. But I don't know how. I don't want her to think my mom is her owner, because I am. But my mom hogs her all the time.
Any advice? I want basically a shadow.
Thanks (link)

I am in the same thing as you, as a family, we have three dogs in the house. They follow my mother everywhere, and not me. I understand two of them, but one is my dog. She doesn't follow me unless I have some sort of treat with me.
So what I have learned is that in order to get her to follow me is to go the the park with her, play fetch with her, groom her, make her nice food, make her a nice bed, etc.
Stuff you are certain they like, that way they'll trust you, and you'll gain a large bond with them.
That will cause them to follow you, because they want to know what your up to. Trust me, it's easy and it works.
Good Luck!

If you want your dog to live, you need to go to the vet.
