My father has a miniature schnauzer that is 5 months. He was not being trained properly. My father made a breeder purchase that was not wise. That being, my father bought a dog that he could not handle. He’s elderly with health issues. But like some or many he thought a dog would improve his...

My family just adopted a dog thats approximately 1 year old possibly boxer/husky mix and have been working on training and he's done very very well so far with things we are trying to teach. However he gets rather mouthie/bitey and would like any tips anyone might have to help train him to stop...

Our Red Heeler puppy is proving to be a very smart dog and extremely quick learner but she has developed on frustrating bad habit - she jumps up on the couch and starts to bite at our clothing, and hands if we are not careful. There seems to be no apparent reason for this and she is very...

So we recently (1 week ago) adopted a 23 week old Rat Terrier/German Shepard mix we've named Biscuit. She is extremely shy and nervous but we have tried our best to introduce her to all sorts of different environments, we've taken her on walks, to the pet store, to the vet, in the car just...

Hello, My almost 1 year old Pug is sweet as can be at home, but has started getting aggressive with me (or whoever’s walking him) when out for walks. Basically he will start jumping up barking and biting my coat and legs. If I say “sit” he will stop the behavior for a moment and sit...

Hello everyone, I'm just looking for some advice from all of you. The back story is that we got our cockerpoo puppy 5 weeks ago and ever since we have had aggression with biting. We seem to have mastered sleeping in a crate, pooing outside and most of the time weeing outside. We have tried...

My husband and I adopted a now 7 month old puppy 4 months ago(mostly German Shepard/Lab mix). We took him to level one obedience training where we learned to stop his play biting we should grab under his jaw and wrap our fingers and his cheeks over his teeth, hold it and say no bite until he...

Hello, I’m after a bit of advice, I have a 4 month old male Rottweiler and I’m having trouble with his biting and nipping, I’ve tried redirecting him with a toy, getting him to sit and wait, I’ve tried using a firm “no” and “leave it” and I’ve tried putting him in time outs in his crate, none of...

I need advice... and patience! We seriously think that our 12 week lab mix (possibly some beagle and husky) has two personalities in his little 15 pound body. We've had him for four weeks, and the first few days were amazing. He was so sweet and quiet, had little to no accidents, and was a...

Hi there, my partner and I rescued a blue heeler mix at almost 4,5 months old. He’s now 6,5 months old. We decided on getting a active dog as our dog is supposed to be companion to on be our side at all times. We’re very outgoing people and totally committed to give him the exercise (physically...

I have had dogs all my life (60 years) and I have never ever had an aggressive dog until now. I have had 6 Great Danes, but never had one show any type of aggression to a person. I have a male Dane that we have had since he was 12 weeks old. He is 8 years old and has started to be aggressive...

So we have a 14 week old lab puppy and since day one he’s been a bad biter. I know it’s totally normal for puppies to bite but since we’ve got him we’ve been diligently working to stop the behavior, at least any biting that isn’t gentle for now. short story: he bites ALOT and almost always...

My 7 month old French bulldog is still jumping on my children and biting them. They can’t sit down on the sofa without this happening. When we shout at him he looks as if is smiling. Is this normal? When my parents come round my house he lunges at them and does not stop biting them u til they go...

Hi, looking for a bit of advice. We’ve had a puppy for two weeks and it’s all going great however she goes a bit mental and bites the sofa when we sit on it instead of sitting on the floor with her. We’ve tried to ignore her so she gets bored or sees there’s no reaction to that behaviour but the...

Hi all... I have a 3 month cocker spaniel who unfortunately has a fractured front leg. He is currently in a cast and under strict crate rest for 4 weeks minimum. We’ve just done our first week and it’s been hard but have noticed when we take him out for a cuddle he is biting a lot more and...

I just got a 3 and a half month old goldendoodle puppy. He is very new to my home so is not completely settled or comfortable, but I have learned a couple of things about him that I feel need immediate correction. He is a really good boy overall and is super friendly. He loves everyone and wants...

I have a new papillon puppy for just 4 days. She's 17 weeks old and tbh I'm having a bit of a nightmare. I had thoroughly researched the breed before purchasing her and thought she would fit in well with my family. I have three young children (twins aged 7 and a 9 year old) and they are very...

I know puppies are hyperactive, but I don't know what to do with our puppy. We got him a week ago at 10 weeks. He is half chihuahua, part yorkie, and part sharpei. He weighs 3 lbs. This puppy runs and plays for up to 6 hours straight. I mean that literally. He'll run for hours then sleep for...
