aggressive behavior towards my son
I have a 4 year old female rat terrier - I have had her since she was 7 weeks old. She's a very sweet dog. For several weeks she seemed a little sensitive when she was touched - she has a history of skin allergies. Apparently my son inadvertently touched a sensitive area when he went to pick her...

Emma's being PUSHY!
Imagine that. Emma. A 2.5 year old female JRT. Pushy! Ha!!! Anyhow... I've been watching this behavior escalate, and it's mostly with my brother, who she adores, but can get ANYTHING from. He is her doormat. At first, she'd wiggle over and nip his feet. Then, she started nipping his legs...

Board dogs??
I can't figure out why my female has all the sudden (past 2 months) started eating sticks. The other day while I was at work they decided to destroy part of the legs to my great great grandmothers antique dining room table. And needless to say there were just bits of wood left over they had eaten...

Proud moment for me!
Willow and I were just walking at a field near our home. We go there at least once a day. All of a sudden I hear a lot of barking but we can't see anything. I finally noticed a lady (who I've seen before) walking three dogs. Well, walking one chi and one schnauzer and she had one doxie with...

Slobbering
If anyone can help please. Our Gunner is 10 months old and has been in a crate since day one. But for the last 2 months or so when we come home, he's soaked in slobber. We know it's slobber because we left him one day without water to make sure he wasn't just dumping his water. We leave him...

Combining crate and pen
I will be getting a shiba inu pup in the next 2 weeks or so. I have a crate and also a x-pen. My plan is to keep the pup in the x-pen during the day while I am at work. I work close to home so i will be coming home mid-day to feed and walk. Should I keep the crate in the pen or should I keep...

He has no gone in his cage since about the first week we have him. However, when he is out of the cage he needs to go out about every hour. It this normal? How is he...

my protector
I am 9 months pregnant, due any day now. My 1 year old pug/shih tzu mix has been acting sort of strange lately. He is the sweetest thing, loves people, wants to be involved in anything people related. Lately however, he seems to be aware of any little noise, movement, anything, ESPECIALLY when I am alone...

dog attacking feet
I have a chow/lab mix. About 5-6 years old. We got her from a shelter about 1.5 years ago. She is a good natured dog and very playful and excitable. My problem is when someone new comes over, which is not often, she is very friendly, brings them toys and things like that. She will even lay be them...

Puppy pad training
Roxy is approx. 10 weeks old and we have had for about 3 days now. While she is in her area she uses the pee pads no problem, it's when she is outside her area we run into some problems. I know this is something that *I* have to work on and not her so your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. ...

Molly is such a ham
Weather permitting, when I come home at lunch I take Molly for a short walk. Today she INSISTED on carrying her sheepskin slipper with her [sm=proud.gif] like a toddler with a blankie Molly had to carry that toy in her mouth the entire walk. Certainly got us noticed...one lady came to a complete halt...

Overreacting to cats
Chase was not socialized with cats, although I wish he had been. He's always shown an inordinate amount of interest in cats on our walks and I'm certain that if I allowed him to, he would zoom off and chase them. I haven't a clue what he'd do if he actually caught up with a cat, and I...

teaching left paw and right paw?
I'm trying to teach Romy "left paw" and "right paw". I think maybe I'm making a mistake by trying to teach them to her at the same time. She seems to get it, but then will get them mixed up. Should I only teach one or the other until she's got it down pat, and then later...

My 4yr old beagle that I adopted gets taken out regularly. But, when I go to work at night (I work 3rd shift) I ALWAYS come home to #1&2 in the same corner behind the kitchen table. Every single night without fail, she does this. I have to come home and clean it up. It doesnt matter how much I let...

Where to keep my pup while I'm gone?
I have a 15 week old Shepard mix that I adopted two weeks ago and have been crate training him with relative success. I think that it is probably due to the fact that I work from home and have not had to resort to any paper training. However, there will undoubtedly be times when I need to leave him at...
