I've heard the best way to teach a dog a "quiet" command is to teach it to bark on command, so he learns the difference between "speak" and "quiet". I'd like tips on how to do this; at the moment Boone only barks when he's alerting to "danger"; this...

Is "air-barking" something to worry about? (tacran)
Ruby has a behavior we call "air barking." She moves her mouth as if she's barking, with no sound, other than the occasional "clack" of her teeth if she really snaps her jaws together. Sometimes you can hear air escaping, but it's hardly audible. It reminds me of what a little...

My daughter's yorkshire terriors had some occasinal scraps, sometimes at feeding time. They have lived in relative harmony with a female sibling for at least 10 years.

I have a 3 year old lab mix named Xena who is a wonderful dog. She is amazingly smart and knows more tricks than I could list. She also knows the names of about 10 of her toys, will fetch the newspaper and has figured out a lot of things like learning to open and close dogs and turn on space heaters...

Iris
Can anyone help with a couple of new dog problems. Our new dog Iris won't go off the porch and do her business unless I am right there with her. I would like her to go outside by her self. We have a fenced in yard. Another problem is she is peeing in her crate while we are at work. Is she just insecure...

Dalmation that pulls out running shorts?

Poodle Problems
I rescued a poodle mix two years ago and have been struggling with her ever since. Potty training to aggression toward my young son and older dog. I'd re-home her, but I'm just not that kind of pet owner...she has gone to obedience training and puppy class (without success). She uses my entire...

Biting and growling
Hi, I have a Malteses Named Bailey who is six years old . I know this is my fault for not knowing how to train her but the problem has gotten worse and I am very concerned.

Reactive dogs
I have a 7 month old giant breed pup who was slightly timid around people and dogs when I got her but who has grown closer to being fear aggressive, albeit she is fearful of people and dogs selectively. Some are okay but most are not. She has actually been around dogs and people at a dog show with zero...

Dogs and Kiddos?
What are some good tips and tricks to get dogs used to new children in the family? I have a dog and she keeps away from my son mostly. He is a toddler and she is just not used to the fast movements and his short stature I think. Eventually when adults are around her, she gets used to them unless I have...

My dogs are not getting along
My female and male American Bulldogs are not getting along. They fought over food left on the table and since then, they want to go after each other every time they see each other. Thank God I have an SUV and have a gate to seperate them or else I'd have to leave them home all the time but at least...

Rescued a dog- AWFUL- Please Help
Hi: We sort of rescued a dog from a family that no longer wanted him. It was a large family and they had other dogs in the home and basically didn't give this one much attention and must have taught him to defend himself and fight. The other dogs were bigger. The people didn't want ...
