Question on Calming a Dog
So, my precious little pup is usually well behaved. With some training and lots of love, I have made her in to quite the young lady but I do have one issue. When I come home or if someone comes to my house, Harley gets over excited. She doesn't really jump or put anyone in danger, but she gets really...

Scheduling a dogs day.
I recently found a dog that I took in. I already have two cats. A 6 pound female tabby and an 18 pound tuxedo. The dog I found weighs 35 pounds and is very timid and shy. I took her to the vet and got a rabies shot and some Comfortis. I also purchased a crate/kennel. I work nights and go to school on...

How long do you crate your dog while at work?
I feel that I'm crating my dog for too long. I know 8 hours is a long day, but for those of us that have a drive to work and a drive back, along with a lunch, it can make for a 10-11 hour day. Just yesterday when I got home I took her immediatly out to potty and on the way she went on the carpet...

So you call yourself a dog trainer?
I wish every dog owner would read this article before they choose a trainer or take training advice from a stranger on the web who refers to themselves as a trainer. https://fearfuldogs.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/the-tragedy-of-dog-training/

Shredder
I have a new rescue. He's been with me for 3 weeks. I am crate training him and potty training him because he's just learning to pee and poop on lead. Problem is, when I go to work and crate him, he destroys his bedding. At first i thought he was just scratching it ( I had an old comforter in...

Older resident dog peeing at the presence of new pup?
Just brought home an 8 week old Bullmastiff pup. Day 2, our female 14 month golden retriever is still showing dominant signals (standing over the pup, etc), but the pup wouldn't back down. Sometimes he would snap at her, she jumps back, then they're at it again. Today, when they were playing...

Marking trouble
My 10 mth old mini schnauzer has begun marking at the gate we have at our guest bedroom. He cannot go down that hallway. I caught him lifting his leg on the wall and on the gate. I scrub, clean, use every product on the market, but he won't stop. This morning did it after I went in to clean. I wonder...

Help Dog Anxiety Peeing
I will call it what I believe it is, anxiety peeing. It is really easy to feel that my dog is being spiteful or malicious but as smart as dogs are we to quickly attach a conscious behavior to a not so conscious animal. With that being said here is my problem. We have border/caryn terrier mix. She is...

Houston is choosing to go in his crate.
Houston is our knuckleheaded almost 2 year old cocker. He and our 10 year old cocker Kenny have full sized crates in our bedroom which they sleep in at night. We have a smaller fold down metal crate in our living room which we take when we travel. Kenny is great in his pop up crate. I don't think...
