Hello! I have written a previous post about my new dog and trying to get him accustomed to our three cats. but now, i thought perhaps i'd ask for advice on all his other 'quirks'! First, We just adopted Petey one week ago from the Humane Society. He is a one year old black lab mix (perhaps...

I have a 1-year-old dog. She was easily "potty" trained. The process was/is to let her out into the backyard; out the door, down a flight of stairs, onto the grass. That was going well. Several months ago she was spayed. During the recovery time we would let her out through the front door to...

Chuffy gives great suggestions. Also, is there a way for you to physically leave the training area (another room, down the hall, outside the door, etc.) each and every time he starts to bark? He probably enjoys working with you and getting treats, so if all the fun (fun = seeing the other dogs, getting...

Hi. I just got my dog Mini Monday evening. In the two days I've had her I have not been able to get her to potty at all.

Shadow is approx. 5 y/o neutered Jack Russell terror... so you can imagine some behavioral issues come with that, hyperactive, barky, aggressive to mail-carrier, etc. I have had him for about 3 years and he has never had issues with being crated, except for the occasional barking spree, which his various...

My 4 year old yellow lab is digging up our back yard. We moved into a new house in April and he's proceeded to move around the yard and around the house digging. It's always close to something...either the brick of the house, the side of the concrete patio or along the fence line. He is in the...

I have a husky/german shepherd male that we adopted from a no kill animal shelter. He was found on the streets as a puppy, and has spent his whole life in a small outdoor kennel with little to no socialization. He is terrified of everything even his own shadow. When I try to take him out to go the the...
