Hi guys. I adopted a 9 year old black lab mix that I adopted about 4 months ago. I met him a few times before I took him home with me, and nothing appeared out of the ordinary with him.

Hi all, My new dog of 3 months has been doing great with our cats until last week when we had an incident. Sadie (dog) attacked Nala but didn't hurt her. The reason for the attack probably lies in the fact that I had treats in my hand for Sadie and Nala was too close to them. This also seems to...

Alright folks, just a heads up this is going to be a long one. I think anyone in a similar situation as I was will enjoy reading this, knowing you can work through it! Also just a disclaimer, Kiko was our first dog so if anything sounds super obvious, or dumb, to you, just know that we had had...
