Hey there everyone, I hope that I can get some pointers on what to do here.. We have had Feya (french bulldog) for about three months now, she just turned 7 months yesterday and i wanted to discuss a few things about her recent behaviour and hope to get some insights on how to deal with it...

Hi - I have a Shizu Lasaapso and he does this thing where he sniffs either my toe or my finger then he sits down and a second or two later does this again - he will do this for like an hour - it's the weirdest behaviour - has anyone has this with their dog? Any thoughts or advice would be...

I registered ages ago but never used this! But now needing some advice or any tips on the behaviour or my Belgium gsd. Not too sure how to use this so il just ask here. She is a lovely 4 year old German/Belgium shepherd cross. Loves people, although if wary of someone or something different she...

Hello there, and this is my first dog post so I hope I get it all right! I had a Maltese Shih-Tzu for 15 years and it died 2 years ago. I recently decided to get a Border Collie. I love hiking and feel he'll make a great walking partner because of the type of breed. He's three months old now...

Hi, I have been training my puppy (4 month old staffy x kelpie) basic training skills - such as sit, stay, stop, wait etc to get her into some routine. She was doing fairly well except am noticing some recurring habits: She is constantly trying to bite me and no matter what I do I can't deter...

Hello everyone, my dog Gus is 9 years old and doesn't have an actual race, it's more of a mix between a jack russell and a sheepdog... Anyways, when we first got the dog at the age of (somewhere around) 9 months, we didn't really know what to do as he was going to be our first dog ever. We...

My Luna has been having strange episodes lately. The following thing has happened three times (that I know of): she will be resting quietly, and all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, she will stand up and let out this low, mean-sounding growl - she NEVER growls like that, she growls in play...

So, I've recently-ish gotten an Italian Greyhound. She's just turned one. A couple of times now she's peed on my dad's bed (while having access outside). If she's allowed, she would sleep on my bed, never anyone else's, and she has never peed on my bed. She's just now peed on my (older) brothers...

But lately after no trouble at all shes starting snapping at my mum and sister, now ill be honest shes a staffy cross, lovely dog, since i got her...

Whether you already have experience of dog ownership, are a new dog owner or are about to be a dog owner, then training your dog is one of the most important aspects you need to consider. Likewise if you currently have a dog with behaviour problems, then dog training is essential. However...

Hi all, in this thread, i like to talk about punishement in behaviour training ... Punishment is a very emotive word. It conjures up many and varied images for people. Experiences that we understand as punishing stay in the memory and they stay there for a very long time. Of course there are...

Let me explain my dog's background, breed, and temperment first. We adopted her from the SPCA at 5 months. She is now 9 months. She's a black labrador mix. We think the mix is either shepard, beagel, or possibly husky. But she LOOKS almost 100% like a lab. Just slightly thinner and more...

Lately my 3 month old puppy has been showing signs of aggression. I'm not talking rough playing like normal puppies do, I'm talking actual aggression. He growls at us and attacked me while we were on a walk. My legs and arms are covered in scabs and cuts all from that one attack, excluding what...

My lhasa apso had really matted fur after coming back from the kennels, and after his fur had been shaved off (except for his tail) he's been acting really strangely. He doesn't play any more, doesn't perform tricks, doesn't chew on treats and bones, and isn't coming when called. He doesn't...

Here goes! I adopted a gorgeous 6 month old black lab mix from the shelter 8 days ago. She is so well behaved. Completely calm and submissive, shows no signs of aggression, fear, or nervousness. She's very relaxed. She's great with not pulling on her leash, I've worked at not having her walk in...

We have a 4 year old female german shepard that is behaving oddly for around 6 months. When we put down food for her she often will approach, inspect the food and then walk away. She usually will check on our aged male chow who is getting medication in his food, although he has been doing so...

Hello. I have a 2 year old Shiba Inu that I've noticed has some peculiar behaviours that I hope are not health-related. I've always owned mixed breeds in the past (Lab-Terrier, Terrier-Beagle, Mutt-Wolf...), so I'm not sure if it's just the breed. Here's what's happening: 1. Backs up slowly...

I have a 6 month old GSD/Lab cross named Winston, and he's a very well behaved dog, knows tons of tricks, listens really well, excellent recall level, etc, but lately I've been observing his behaviour and noticing that he's become more shy around people and a bit more submissive. I didn't...
