still peeing in the house
Hi there. I'm sure you all remember the female puppy that we have that is humping. Well I had a question about house training. She goes outside to use the bathroom. She even goes to the door and lets us know most of the time. Then some times she won't do anything. She just runs off into the dining...

What a whiner!
Hi everyone, Just brought my GSMD puppy home last night. She's gorgeous and very playful. One problem I'm starting to notice, though, is she's constantly whining. I didn't think much of it at the breeder yesterday, but after I got home I thought back to my last dog and how he never...

help - he is 7 months old and aggressive?
My pomeranian is a shy dog and does not socialize with dogs at all. So, this weekend I thought it would be a good idea to take him to my friends house where he has a small dog that is faily calm and old. The second my pup came out of the car, he started barking and growling like crazy at that dog. I...

Herding the screen door?
Is this Another herding behavior? Whenever we are visiting at my moms house and anyone opens the screen door, Lizzie will bark like a maniac and try to close the screen door with her paws (kind of like a digging motion) It doesnt bother us but why the heck does she do this?

missing the pee pad
My dog is potty trained. He knows where to go, but sometimes, he starts sniffing the pad a little and misses by going on the edge of the pee pad.

prong?
I have a 6 month old puppy who absolutely will not behave on a leash. He pulls really hard and it's a bit obnoxious. I was just wondering if he was too young for a prong collar...I usually walk him and my GSD at the same time, so i will have the GSD in one hand with his gentle leader harness, and...

2 puppies sharing a crate
Does anyone know if you can crate train two puppies in one crate? I think not because later then the puppies get bigger, one will have to move to a new crate. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Aggresive behaviour at dog park
I've taken Boomer to the dog park a few times now. Lately he's gotten a bit aggresive with some dog that clearly just want to play with him. Seems like he gets testy with the bigger dogs (he's about 35lbs). How can i deter this type of behaviour.?
