Is Your Dog Afraid of Storms?
Imagine yourself as a dog, completely unaware of what is happening in the sky above you. You may or may not be scared by any number of other things, but when the sky lights up and thunder crashes against the windows, you're going to tremble a bit. A dog has no idea why a storm occurs, and almost...

Dog suddenly aggressive towards one of my cats.
I have a 3 year old Miniature Border Collie that we adopted last year around November. We also have 4 cats and they got along really well!

Territorial dog drama with large age gap.
Stamp the mutt will be 13 yrs next month, he's in pretty good shape for his age except the cataracts, heart murmur, arthritis, cysts/tumors (we will not do surgery at his age) and hearing loss. He's pretty happy and pain seems to be minimal. I've had him since about 6 weeks when he was abandoned...

My puppy is becoming aggressive only towards us
We bought a great dane puppy at 11.5 weeks old from a breeder after recommendations that they are gentle, quiet and easy to train. They are lazy and good in apartments so we thought it would be the perfect dog for us. It has become obvious that the breeder did no training with her and I would be surprised...

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/
