8yr old Basset wont go in the crate anymore.........
My wifes mother crates both of her Basset Hounds every night around 9PM. This has been an on-going routine for about 6 years now. Within the last 2 months the one Basset just refuses to go into the crate. He will bark, growl (hasnt attempted to bite) and do whatever it takes to not go in the crate. Any...

Taking over my life?
I definitely have the time for a puppy ... especially considering that it's summer and I only work once or twice a week. But. I cannot help but feel I might be giving her TOO much time? I do confine her to the bathroom when I want to go out (which really isn't all that often ... ) or go to work...

How to give her the control...
Dweezil is 7 months. She hadn't had an accident in the house for a few weeks until tonight. Until today, if I wasn't able to watch her constantly, she was gated in the bathroom. She doesn't even pee in there at all (she waited 7 hours today while i was at work!). Today I decided to give her...

Puppy that Doesn't Play?
We just adopted a puppy (4 months, we think he's a lab/dane mix, 35 pounds) The pup is very docile. Very sweet. And for the most part very obedient. He loves to play with our adult golden/lab. To the point that it is hard to break up. However he doesn't seem to have any interest in playing...

Not too worried, just need some input!
A couple of months ago my ex and I got back together. We were not together when I got Rory as a pup but she had met and liked him several times. As he started coming around more often she learned to expect his visits and loved the attention he gave her (he is a huge dog lover). Once we were officially...

Is it agression?!?
I recently brought in a 8wk old stray probable pit mix puppy. He is really a sweet dog. But there have been a few times when he is all wound up and its time to go to the crate that he has growled and tried to bite. I don't know if it agression, or if he is just upset because he has too much energy...

Stop Thief!
My dog is the biggest clepto anymore. We have a 1 yr old female yellow lab that thinks the best game ever (even knowing she will get into trouble) is to steal something she knows she isn't to have and then BOLT or play Chase. She used to only steal a straggling shoe that was left accidently unattended...

Going nuts
Im kind of new to crate training. I've read all about it, and asked my vet. I'm just afraid of doing it wrong and having a dog that is never going to be potty trained. I went out and got a new crate today. Something bigger, and all metal wire so he can see all around him. I've spent the...

Dog waking up too early
I recently moved back into my mom's house and I took my dog with me. He's adjusted to his surrounding pretty well, but as of 2 months ago, he wakes up when my dad gets up for work (6am). I usually dont get up until 7am but he starts barking and running around like a mad man when he hears my dad...

Dog Wont Stop Chasing Cat
I recently adopted a 2 year old Brussels Griffon and when they cat tested her, she was very uninterested in them, she was more interested in the people around her than the cats. I have two cats. A 2 year old and a 5 year old. The 2 year old is insanely skiddish due to the fact she was dumped and ...

Teaching how to play gently?
Louise is four and a half months old. She's a cocker spaniel/poodle mix, so she's small and we live in a very dog friendly part of the city, so she's constantly interacting with other dogs. We live a 2 minute walk from a huge off-leash area on the beach. She was really great about interacting with...

Territorial pooping??
I was just wondering if there was any such thing as a dog marking it's territory by pooping. Kaiser eats canidae and usually poops 2-3 times a day, and it's always solid. His problem is when we get out to the dog park or the neighborhood park. I know he doesn't have to poop and he will poop...

Crate training question
Ben will happily go into his crate to sleep, and seems to like his little nest in there. When he wakes up, be it during the day or night, I take him out to do his business, and if at night, put him back in with a minimum of fuss so he will go back to sleep. Here's my question - I read everywhere...

Whining at a specific toy
Newbie on the forum and got a question. My dog plays with toys just fine but she has one toy that we bought her that everytime she tries to plays with it she whines at IT, not us. It's a $1 toy that we just picked up at Target one day, and it's a plastic bone, white with little black paws on...

Person Possession
Looking for suggestions. My 15 mo old Flt coat retriever mix seems to be developing fear aggression. We've done tons of socialization; dog park membership, 2 rounds of obedience school, vacations, trips to dog friendly events, stores, etc. But, in the last 5 days, my previously confidant boy has literally...
