Can I try a dog leash and hair buster on him
I would be careful using products designed for other pets on your rabbit as they can become very easily injured. If you'd like Lennon and Waffle to go outside or have more room to run around, an X-pen or other playpen type structure can help to keep them contained while allowing them to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. As for groooming, daily brushing of longer haired breeds can help keep the coat shiny, remove excess hair, and help prevent mats.

I’m considering adopting a dog that had been wondering the neighborhood for over a month. Thanks to animal control he was trapped and taken to the shelter. He was microchipped but the owners are going to surrender him. I have always had small pets
It will all depend on his temperament! Big dogs can get along with small dogs just fine but it does depend on their personalities. Make sure they meet in a neutral area (so not your yard that your small dog "owns." It wis probably a good idea to take the bigger dog on a hard walk to wear him out and also have a helper with you. If you are scared, have them meet with a fence between them first. You can absolutely train him to a kennel still. Lastly, make sure your fence is high enough and in good condition. It's pretty tough to train a dog not to jump a fence. One option is to get an underground fence and run the wire along the fence line. Most dogs will respect this system and won't try to jump the fence. I also recommend to do some reading about Labs in general. They are typically very good dogs but they do require some exercise. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

My puppy likes to play and when anyone in the house plays back she bites I was told when she bites anyone or tries to bite than I should give her a little tap the butt and put her in her cage is that okay to tap ?
The crate/cage should not be used as a "punishment". Neither should striking or "tapping" Penelope. Puppies will chew/bite when playing, bored, out of curiosity or when teething. Provide plenty of appropriate chew toys for Penelope. When she gets mouthy, a stern "No!" or "No bite!" should be uttered. Provide an appropriate chew toy then reward/praise her when she complies. If she does not comply, cease all play until she calms down. Avoid rough play that gets her too riled up.

How can i make floor time more fun for my guinea pigs? Whenever i let them out they seem like they want to go back to their cage (they try climbing it and they bite on the cage wire)
Try encouraging your guinea pigs to play with interactive toys, give them things to chew on, and offer them treats, like baby carrots, when they are out of their cage. This will help them associate being out of the cage with something positive. You may also want to try taking them to a different room from the one the cage is in. This may make them more curious and more likely to want to explore instead of them wanting to go back in the cage. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck.
