Sudden housebreaking issues - behavior problem or something else?
Other than during her first week with us, Ruby hasn't had a housebreaking accident in 3+ years. Until recently, she was crated when we left the house. With our work schedules, DH and I can limit her crate time to 4-5 hours, max. At night she sleeps with us and has no problem holding her bladder for...

I have a question, I have been researching the best way to potty train a puppy and I am finding two different sides and one was wondering what your thoughts were.

My year old red heeler mix tried to attack me tonight when I attempted to remove something from him. I've seen signs of dominant aggression, which was my vet's diagnosis, in him for a while, often unprovoked, but this was by far the worst. My mom saw and got scared. We had already talked about...

Do you crate train your dog?
I've always taught my dogs to be comfortable in their crates. It makes life so much easier, especially with house training a pup or a dog new to your home. I know it's not as common is some countries as it is in the US and I was told the other day it's against the law in some countries. Of...
