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...

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...

In the class, I am skeptical about the "aggression". I suspect he is stressed and/or over stimulated. What is his body language like in class? Is he restless, pacing, fidgeting? Is there a lot of panting? Does he have "bog eyes"? Could you find a trainer who could help you 1-2-1?...

I have a 17month old neutered teacup poodle named Rockit. My boyfriend and I moved froma house in the suburbs to a condo in the city about 5 months ago. Once we moved in, it was apparent that Rockit had a "barking problem." He barks at all the neighbors closing their doors, talking, and the...

I have 2 Samoyeds, Kiki and Nike. They are usually very well behaved, but lately, they have realized that the sound of the garage door opening means that we might (it's a parking garage for 10 people) be coming home and go into a barking frenzy. They didn't use to do this, but now it is getting...

We have 2 lab/chow mixes from the same litter - one who is more lab than chow and the other who is more how than lab. They are about a year and a half old. We mostly keep them outside, but bring them in at night. We've been having a problem where the mostly lab whines all the time where he's...

I got my Chihuahua about half a year ago, he was already a year old when I got him, and had belonged to two different owners (the first being the breeder). My family... dosn't like small dogs all that much. I hadn't had any expericance with them prior to my mother bringing him home (his previous...

Does anyone else's dog do this? Do you have any pictures of it? One of my dogs, Simon, barks at other animals on t.v. But, my other dog, Periwinkle, doesn't seem to see anything on the t.v. at all. I thought it might be fun to see other pictures of this kind of behavior.

Yesterday was our first day with our new lab puppy. I know what you're thinking .... I am a new dog owner who had no idea what to expect. On the contrary, I have had many dogs and have raised a puppy in the past using a crate. I knew there would be an adjustment period that includes whining. But...
