Chasing car in dog park okay?
Whenever we bring our gsd pup to a dog park, he spends half the time chasing cars along the fence. When we walk on a leash, I can usually get him under control by putting him in a sit stay and holding him on a very short leash. My question is, should I correct him for chasing cars when he's in...

Steal and Destroy missions!
I got a "multi-issued" rescue dog when he was 6 months old. He's almost 2 and the only issue we have left is the one that's been impossible to break. He steals things and then destroys them, if we don't get it away from him fast enough (Should say that he's a lab mix.) I'm...

My male puppy PURPOSEFULLY pees on me!
We adopted a puppy approximately 1 month ago and have yet to get him even remotely close to understanding the concept of housebreaking. He is now crate trained but we can't seem to get him to use the yard as his bathroom. He goes outside for an hour with us and comes directly in and squats! The past...

pom pups
I have two pom pups, 3 1/2 months old. The smallest one is always "nursing" on my arm. What does this mean? She eats and drink like a normal puppy and is healthy.

A "typical" poop sequence ?
My pom is 10 month old neutered male and I acquired him at 3 months -- a darling, joyous sweetheart. But, significant poop problem remains (undoubtedly related to my mistakes!). How to deal with this: He has 3 enclosed areas: crate (which he has never soiled, sleeps all night); fenced area outdoors...

Shih Tzu gone zippy!
My newly adopted Shih tzu was quiet when I first got him. Now he goes through a couple times a day like a wild dog....racing through the house and making circles....it is funny to watch. He loves to tear rear through the house and play fetch....A far cry from the mellow dog I got...he still is very sweet...

Barking in Crate
Hi all, We continue to struggle through our adoption of a six year old male toy poodle. His previous owners worked full time and he was crated all day in their home "without any difficulties." Okay. He has been in our home about 8 weeks. When I go out, I have him go into his crate....

She is so reactive that I have had to stop taking her on walks and started training her in a quiet room in my house to do a focused sit. After a few days we progressed to the...

Doggie door?
Hi everyone, It's been a while since I last posted, but that's because we had been doing so well with Jänku. She's 8.5 months old now, and we're having a major set-back. And we're concerned because we're moving to our new house in a week (much bigger than our apartmen), and...
