Clean up time
Is there something that I can buy that will clean up after my puppies that will keep them from coming back to the same area? Something that can be bought at the pet store? Thanks for any and all help!!

My 14 yr old toy poodle just stares at her water bowl. She refuses to drink from it. We are syringing the water into her (which she gladly drinks) .The vet has checked her tongue/teeth/mouth/ears/TMJ.....and nothing.

Fear biting serious help
Ok, this is a long story, but we are at our wit's end. We really need objective advice. Two years ago we adopted Charlotte, a "Schipperke" mix (I quote Schipperke because frankly we have no idea what she is; she weighs 30 lbs, has the face of a skippee, looks a little like a small black...

Barking When Given Obedience Commands
At first it was cute. You would tell Zoe to sit and she would bark before sitting, but now it's just frustrating! Why does she bark when we give her a command? Is she just excited? Or is giving us what for?

8 months... Progress, and then a big set-back. Why?
Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I've posted, but that's because we've been doing so well with Jänku. For the first few months it seemed we'd never get her fully housetrained. Then, suddenly at 5 months, she went a good two months and a little without a single accident...

Pup won't go anywhere but backyard
I have an 10 month old Great Dane puppy who was housebroke in under 48 hours and now will only go in our yard. This causes problems, because if we go somewhere for the night, she will hold it until she has an accident - always indoors, even though we will take her out as soon as she signals. I'm at my...

Resource Guarding (sorry so long)...
Wesley has recently stared exhibiting some resource guarding tendencies and I want to stomp them out as quickly as possible... Since it only occurs in very limited circumstances, and they are not consistent, I am not sure if I should implement a full blown protocol like from "Mine" with everything...

She is doing a great job going to the bathroom outside for the most part. Any advice on taking her out during the night? We are taking her out at 10:45-11:00...

Puking... or not
I've got a 10 y/o GSD that refuses to throw up. It all started about 3 years ago. After taking her out, we came back in and as I was getting ready to shower (meaning I had no clothes on) I heard her start hacking and retching so as I ran back into the other room (all the while pulling clothes...

When is a crate too small?
Winston has been sleeping in a small crate in our room for about a month now. I am noticing that when he's all sprawled out, his nose is at one end of the crate and his tushie is very close to touching the other end of the crate. I am wondering if his crate is getting too small for him. He's...

14 wk puppy soiling crate
I have a what I believe to be a 14-week-old English Spriger Spaniel/Border Collie Mix that I adopted from a local animal shelter 4 weeks ago. Piper is as house trained as any dog can be at this age: when accidents occur, they are my mistake. She can go 6-7 hours in the crate at night without an accident...
