I have 2 dogs Marlie, a 3 year old lab and Choco, a 1 year old lab/blue healer mix. Marlie was a 1 1/2 years old when he was dropped off by his previous family. I know he has a fear of being abandoned. We got Choco when he was 6 weeks old. The 2 can't be seperated from the hip. From mid November...

4 months old keeps scratching and barking at her bed
I'm not sure why, but our puppy (that we've had for about a month now) keeps scratching and barking at/into her bed. When she's scratching the bed, it almost looks like she's digging for something, and she'll bark at it and bark into the bed. Does anyone know why? Thanks!

6 year old Shih Tzu suddenly pooping in house
We have a Shih Tzu. We got her as a rescue when she was 11 months old. She was in the rescue for 7 months because one of the workers there wanted to save up the money to adopt her. But when I came looking for a small dog, she saw how the dog and I got along and let me adopt her. Her name is JennaBug...

Very recently started barking at people..why?
Juno's a ~2.5 year old shelter mutt (Aussie/pit?). I've had her for a year and a half. She's never barked at anyone in that time, every person she meets is absolutely her best friend on the planet and she's never loved anyone more. 2 weeks ago we flew across the country. She loved...

Is my puppy learning to be aggressive?
I recently rescued a lab cross puppy who is now ten weeks old. Training is going well and she seems clever and eager to learn. I have three other dogs who are much older (10+ years) who are all still active and healthy. The pup doesn't bother with two of them, but the third (also a lab cross) is...

Pound Rescue Male Shih Tzu, keeps sending me to the ER. at wits end
Hello I guess I've come here as a last resort. I'm looking for help with people that understand better the breed than I, and help me understand what is happening. Back in July I went to the pound to see a Male Shih Tzu that was on their website. They weren't promoting him like the other...

Random Outbursts of Aggression....Dominance related?
Hi, I have a 9 month old Shitzu puppy. He has one of the most docile temperaments I have ever seen on a dog. This dog is like a baby doll, he just wants to be loved and hugged. Even when he plays he never bites hard and is always gentle. However, recently he has been having some aggression issues...

Marking/Peeing in the house
We have a 5 year old Bichon who we trained as a puppy to pee in his "Whizbox". He does pee and poop in the whiz box and also outside, when I take him out. The problem is that he pees on the floor throughout the house to mark his territory. This usually happens during the night or early morning...

5 Ways to Ruin Your Dog (miranadobe)
I won't give a direct link, since this goes to a website for profit, but the entry is DEF worth reading - and sharing. I don't know how many times I've encountered people who want to tell me why they refuse to crate train, or how they hoped their dog would "grow out of" his horrific...

Peeing in the house, but not because he needs to go - related to collar
We've had our dog, Snoopy, three years this month, he was a shelter rescue at about 6 months, he's fixed. He's great with the kids (10, 7, and 19 months), he lets us know when he needs to go out. He's been through some obedience training, and is pretty good most of the time. He does like...

I just got my third chihuahua. It's been 2 weeks and number 2 dog still won't have anything to do with her. All girls. The oldest is doing fine, but the other is still kind of mean to the puppy. Any suggestions to help her accept the newbie?

Any advice on my two dogs not getting along would be appreciated.
I have a 6 year old rat terrier, he is a rescue (I've had him 4.5 years). He has always been fine around other dogs as long as he is off leash (leash agression) and in the house. At the dog park, he shows dominance, and usually makes other dogs that come up to him submit by grownling and going for...

Controlling Dog Phobias
Hi there, This is my first post on this forum. I live out in the countryside, and over the last year or so my dog has developed a real fear of gunshots. I have had other dogs who've been scared of fireworks etc, but never to this degree. A year ago, I was able to take him out and let him...
