Dog Attack
My bf's dog is a Australian Sheperd/Terrier mix. He is about 3 years old and is a male. He is very territorial. I have known him for a little over a year now. I am such a dog lover and have grown up with dogs all my life. But for the past couple of months his dog has snipped at me and not wanted...

HELP! Can't catch dog when she gets out of the yard
Hi all, I need some help with our dog because my husband is very close to sending her to the pound. We have a 2-year-old Lab/Golden mix, who is kept in a fenced yard. She is excellent at finding new ways to leave the fenced yard: digging under, jumping over (when the snow bank is high enough)...

Choker Chains?
Hello, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this post but here goes. Have a 6 month old large breed dog and I was wondering if it is too early to put a choker on her for her walks or if I still need to wait a little bit before I can safely do so. She is about 50 pounds as we speak...

Frustration, or aggression?
I don't know if he's frustrated or just being plain aggressive, but lately, Cyrus has been going out of his mind when he is on-leash and sees other dogs. And it's only when the leash comes up short, and he can't get to the other dog to sniff; he flips out, lunges, snarls, basically makes...

How to stop a dog from biting/chewing on EVERYTHING?
Just this past Friday, I got a second yorkshire terrier. He has been amazingly good, already knowing to use the potty pads. However, he has a really bad problem of biting and chewing everything... hands, feets, clothes, carpets, etc. How can I stop this? He doesn't seem to get telling him no...

Why do dogs...
Hey, all. I was wondering the other day about a couple of things that all dogs seem to do, and I'm curious as to if anyone knows what inspires these particular behaviors: 1) Why do dogs, especially puppies, get their favorite toy in their mouths and then just shake the heck out of it sometimes?...

Aggressive ... when she wants to be ...
Dweezil is 7 months old now -- a Cocker/Cairn mix. The woman I got her from did not want her ... for the first three months of her life, she wasn't really around people at all. The woman either crated her inside and never let her out ... or tied her up on the front porch with their other dog. So...

screaming...
I'm just curious to know if anyone else has a dog who screams. I've had Buster since he was 3 months old (he's now 11) from a shelter. We believe he is part greyhound. When he is excited he makes a screaming sound which is quite loud. He has done this for as long as we've had him, but...

Various Problems (Barking, Scratching etc)
Hi all, I'm after a bit of advice if possible - my girlfriend's dog is really starting to become annoying now and I don't know what to do about it. Basically I wake up at about 7am , feed the dog and put him out into the garden. As soon as he finishes his food, he immediately starts barking...

Taking all my stuff!
I'm actually a little bit upset right now, because, last night, my friends were over. And in addition to Dweezil being wary of strangers (working on it), she was taking their shoes, and people were telling me I'm training her wrong. One of them even tried to discipline her for me. Which piiiiissed...

Hey folks, Well, some of you may remember me posting yesterday about a rescue dog that we were offered. We went to see her last night. She's a beautiful, 2 year old, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. At first we were lead to believe that she was skittish/neurotic and very difficult (she's been through 2...

Littermates
Hello! I just adopted two puppies from a shelter. They are a boy and girl, 11 weeks old, and they are littermates. When I was calling for obedience classes, a trainer told me that having littermates is a terrible idea and that they will bond to each other so much that they will ignore my family and I...

Seperation Anxiety
Any good (or great!) tips on dealing with this? My dog is a 2.5 yr, neutered male, beagle/husky mix. We've had him since he was about 8 weeks old. He is not left alone often, and when he is alone, he is left in his crate. He has recently become extremely anxious about being alone. And also has extreme...
