  • Training Rules Your Dog-edited by mdoerator

    When it comes to training a dog, it seems there is an endless list of behaviors to teach: sitting, lying down, coming when called, walking nicely on leash, not jumping up -- you get the idea. Happily, there are some laws of learning your dog already knows! *please do not spam links to other sites using...

  • A Pitbull at Petsmart?! Are they insane?!?!

    Luna woke up cold today. It rained last night and she doesn't have any type of shelter to keep her dry. She lives in sunny Los Angeles where it's been perfect weather for months now. But the water finally came. She loves water, but she doesn't love it THAT much... Thankfully, the sun was...

  • 10 wk. old puppy always acting hungry?

    We have an almost 11 wk. old Boston terrier puppy who we feed 1/4 cup of dry puppy food 3 times a day. She doesn't always finish it, but even when she does, she walks around the house sniffing the floor so intensely like she is starving, because she is sniffing around where our other dogs have eaten...

  • Moving and Sudden Dog Aggression

    In June I moved from a 3 bedroom home to a one bedroom apartment bringing my 10 year old lab/greyhound mix and chihuahua. The chihuahua seems to have adjusted fine. However, my 10 year old lab mix (Goldie) has become very dog aggressive (except to the chihuahua) when we go on walks. She has never been...

  • Female Entering Home w/Males

    I recently adopted a 5 month old female Bloodhound puppy. We already have 2 adult males and an adult Basset Hound. This puppy is the most stubborn dog I've ever run across. She is very food possessive and we've had a few good fights - no injuries thankfully. Now we keep her on a chain at meals...

  • Re: RE: Dog's destructive chewing

    I agree with what you're saying. I really do wonder about how some dogs really do know they've been bad (although people say dogs don't think). As soon as I would open the door they run down to greet me & either it's with a tail wagging happy (great you're home) or with ears back...

  • Re: Need opinions about my extreme fraidy cat dog.

    I read somewhere that a fearful dog is one with little confidence. So I took a white sock, knotted it in the middle and would throw it in the living room. My dog eventually would bring it somewhat near me, then eventually he was having so much fun, he would prance back with the sock. I would throw it...

  • Suddenly peeing in same area inside

    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...

  • Re: Barking, Barking, and some more barking!

    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...
