my 1yr old pitbull lab mix is very friendly, but also very energetic and an aggressive lover. When guests come over i will put him in the crate before they come in so he can settle down. however, even after he's been laying down calmly in the crate for a while and I let him out he's always still...

My 5 year old Staffordshire terrier (recently adopted) mauls us at the door. His excitement CONSUMES him and our commands seem to fall on deaf ears. You can see through the storm door that his body is quivering, his eyes are bulging and he is breathing erratically. The nightmare of entering...

If she knows we are about to go for a walk or if we are roughhousing together, Luna sneezes. And sneezes, and sneezes, and sneezes! She has done it for as far as I can remember. Since she does it most when we roughhouse, I used to think it was because I would inadvertently touch her nose during...

Hi! I'm really excited to be on this forum. This is my first post - I've read a bunch of other responses but haven't seen anything that directly addresses our issue. My dog, Ripken, is a boxer/hound rescue. I adopted him in September and now he's a little over a year old. My roommate has a...

OK since I am new here, y'all must be thinking "oh no not another wacko." I promise I'm not. So any way, I've always known that I wanted to do some thing with animals, preferable Dogs or Horses. Since the horse market is in the toilet I gave up on that. I am now going to be a Dog Groomer...

During the blizzard last Tuesday morning my dog was asking me to take him out but I was a little scared that he would freeze. He does this every time we take him out to the back yard. It is pretty hilarious. I just thought that I would share this with you.

Whenever guests come over or I go to someone's house with Fidget, she goes absolutely bonkers. Scenario: Someone comes to the door and knocks. She barks, which is ok since I like her to let us know that someone is at the door. I tell her to sit, and then I go to the door and open it. She often...
