My partner and I discussed getting a puppy at the beginning of the year and agreed we would eventually get a second one so the first one had company. We agreed that he could choose the first breed and I would pick the second. We bought our first one in April and both became absolutely besotted...

So I had just received an 8 week old corgi. He's been with me a little over a week now so I'm trying to keep that in mind. I've noticed that my boy doesn't seem to seek out my or any persons attention. He's happy to see me in the morning when I let him out of his crate for the day, but other...

I am not a new dog owner. I recently got a 9 week old puppy and he has bonded to me. I have not bonded to him as much as I want to and I feel terrible about it!! I've had other dogs before they were not purebred as this new one is & I received them at an age 3 months older than this one. He...

Hi, everyone. I have been considering getting a puppy for quite some time now. I've decided on an Australian Shepherd and I've already done a ton of research and waited until I could accept the financial responsibility of a pet. When I began searching for the right pup, I wasn't anticipating...

Hi there! I'm really hoping to find some help here. I have a new puppy in my household, who is 4 months old. She was left with her litter for quite a long time, and has clearly been improperly socialised. I am finding it quite difficult to bond with and train her. Except for on rare occasions...

Hello. I have three dogs. I have a Samoyed, Dachshund, and a newly adopted mutt. He is the only male. We have had him for about a week and his name is Ozzy. My Samoyed's name is Athena, and the Dachshund is Dogmeat. Ever since welcoming in Ozzy, he only plays with Dogmeat. I figured it's...

We rescued Addy in November, 2011. At that time, she was 3 years old and had been through several "homes." Her first family had raised her for breeding... when they were unable to sell the puppies for the high dollar amount they thought they would get, they discontinued feeding her on a...

How do I know if my dog is bonded to me? He's a rottie mix, and very loving, but with multiple people in the house, how can I be sure he's bonded with me? I want to take him with me when I head off to college, but not if he's attached to someone else.

Hello all, first time posting. I hope this is the right forum. I'm having some minor troubles with my Shiba Inu Scooby. He's about 6 years old and has always been a bit of a handful, but through lots of training is finally a very well trained dog. Except for one issue. He seems to have bonded...

Hi! I'm new to the forums here and have a question. I have a pack of 4 mini doxies who I LOVE with all my heart. I work full time as a music teacher in the Los Angeles area. My doxies spend a lot of time in a 4' tall wire round pen thats approximately 4'-5' across. This pen has plenty of fluffy...

Hi everyone, I have a beagle named Missy. She is such a sweetheart, but I am having obedience problems with her. When she was younger, I was irresponsible with her and I let her roam around outside without any care in the world. I grew up after a year of realizing what having a dog is really...

Hi. I had a few questions about raising two dogs and I would appreciate any comments and ideas! We own a 3 year old male siberian husky who is well behaved for the most part. He shows no agression, listens to commands, is well socialized, confident and healthy. The only issue I would say he has...
