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.

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...
