Hello Everyone! I have a Mini Aussie that will be 3 years old in July. I've had her since she was 9 weeks old. Enrolled her in basic training courses right after I got her and took her to dog parks occasionally and out on walks. I socialized her the best that I could. But ..... she's becoming...

Hi there! I joined this site for advice with my 1.5 year old Australian cattle dog/border collie mix. I adopted her when she was approximately 4 months old in November of 2014. She is a great dog with a few small behavior issues like barking and acting territorial, as well as a slight social...

Hi everyone!!:wave: Hoping to get some advice on what to do about my 14 mo Husky/Black lab dog. She was wonderful when we first got her (at just a few days past her 1st birthday) She listened well, was very cuddly and playful all the time. Fast forward a couple months and we found out she was...

Lincoln has been giving me a hard time when interacting with certain neighbors on our walk. With some neighbors, she goes right up to them and greets them nicely and calmly, while others she starts barking non-stop and acting agressive, but never biting. I can't figure out why she greets some...

Hello, just looking for some advice for my husky problems

I have a mixed breed puppy, Sacha, that will be 11 months old in a few days. It seems as she has gotten older, she has become more fearful of very random situations that she didn't previously have a problem with. Some examples: She now automatically goes into the submissive position when...

This is by no means an all-the-time thing, but I just can't figure it out (and it may well have to do with my dog's previous home which is unknown). Most of the time, my dog is pretty nonreactive. We live on a busy block in Philadelphia so there's always noise and plenty of "scary" noise - even...

I recently adopted a dog (not sure what she is her body looks like a boxer) that is super friendly to people. She is a spayed female about 3 years old. She used to live with two other dogs and I was told she was taken to the dog park as well. But when I take her on walks, she...

I have been researching dogs to rescue for some time. I finally went and visited a few. I found a few shelters well known for being good organizations. I am a very thorough person and wanted to make sure I covered all the corners. I did some temperament testing using the Sternbergs 12 step...

Hi, I have a great 6 month old boxer named Kujo and he's a really good dog and listens to me inside as well as I'm able to go walk him off leash in the woods and never runs away but the yard is a whole other story. When he's in the yard he acts very badly. When i call him to come in, he doesn't...

My boyfriend's dog is a very human-submissive dog(she was adopted from a shelter, and we assume she has had previous abuse, either that or she was a stray). If she catches it in the air that you're mad, she will immediately crouch and pee. Even when I go to let the dogs out (I have them sit...

Hello, I have a 2yo male intact boxer who has begun to pee outside of his crate. I let him out in the morning to eliminate, feed him then walk him to eliminate 1 & 2 in the morning before work. He is crated for 6 - 8 hours with little to no incidents until 2 months ago. I have reduced his...

From the time I met her nearly a year and a half ago Little Lady has seemed undersocialized, growling and sometimes barking at strangers, be they human or canine. Her growling is much worse around men, though, strange or familiar. She also reverts back to the total submission behavior she...

Hi Everyone, My family and I recently adopted a 2-2 1/2 yr old Cocker Spaniel, Sunny, from a rescue center. I was told that he was abused, neglected, starved and left tied up out side his entire life. He had no training whatsoever. It was pretty much like having a puppy in the house. He is...

Hey guys, my first post, and I'm having a crisis, or better yet my 10yr old min pin is having a crisis. We have a new baby, and Frankie (our dog) has been taking it in stride for almost two weeks. But for the last two days he's hiding in tiny places, chewing things up, constantly asking to be...

Our Pomeranian was house trained. For the past few months she has taken to pooping and peeing on the carpets (she has a doggie door and can come and go as she pleases to relieve herself, play etc). Yesterday it hit an all time low. She is not a fan of going to the groomers. She was happy and...

I have a year old rescue cocker mix who began a compulsive barking problem about a month after I adopted her (6 months ago). The second we leave the apartment, she begins to bark at trees and cars. She will not stop until she becomes VERY distracted by something else (such as a ball). We have...

Hello, We are crate training our new Westie puppy Daisy. She is almost ten weeks old and has been with us three days. On the whole, things are going very well. Daisy took to her crate easily and is very comfortable with it, which we attribute to the fact that the person that was raising her...

Hi guys and gals...i need some help. I have a six month old Australian Shep. who is having some chewing problems. At first it was small stuff, a news paper, a log (i heat by wood stove) and at worst a shoe. I figured it was just the puppy stage and she would grow out of it. Today i came home to...
