Hi everyone, I hope I can get some advice / reassurance. I have a roughly (rescue so I sure exactly) 8 y/o shih tzu who I have had for 5 years. She gets on well with my mum’s lab cross who she met when we first brought her home - they used to play a lot but the lab now has arthritis so we no...

Hi all! I’m having a little bit of trouble with my 10 week old lab Pit mix. I got her when she was only 4 weeks old. We have 4 kids aged 5months, 2 years, 4 years, and 7 years.

I need help with an issue that started a few weeks back, but has only worsened and is quite worrying now. My 1year old Corgi, which I have since he was a baby, has started to growl at me at night when I try to pet him or approach him. During the day, I approach him in the exact same way and...

Hello, we recently (on march 1st) adopted a rescue dog who we and several others believe is a shih tzu and terrier (Border or Jack Russell) mix. He is great with us but is a bit overly protective. For example my husband gave my daughter a hug and he started to growl and bark. He also is not...

Hi All, My neighbors are away for a couple of weeks, and I agreed to watch their dogs while they're away. We're friends, and I and my children are frequent visitors. One dog is easygoing and a joy to handle. The other... eeks! She's small, snarly, and vicious. Offering her a treat only makes...

I have an 11 and a half month old German Shepherd puppy called Rex, he used to be taken to the dog park very often and was very friendly. Lately we have not had a lot of time on our hands to go to the park so we would either just take him for a quick walk or at night let him run around the park...

Our first dog (6 month old Australian Shepherd/Lab mix) is getting aggressive only around cardboard. It started a while ago slowly when we would give her toilet paper rolls when we were done with them for her to chew on for a minute or two. Then we'd take it away from her so she wouldn't eat...

Hi everyone, My 6 month old lab / shepherd puppy met his new doggy nanny this morning and I am not sure what to make of it and would like your opinion. I met this woman on the street in my neighborhood during my walk with the puppy and she gave me her business card as she is an independent dog...

Just recently adopted a stray dog, non-neutered male, supposedly 3 years old, supposedly border collie. Everyone in the neighbourhood says he never attacked anyone before, he used to be a smart, gentle dog. But since the adoption his behaviour has become assertive. He did attempt to attack a few...

This is my first time owning a dog. My wife and I complicated the situation by taking in a young stray only 6 months after getting our first dog. We went to lots of classes and got help from many friends on training them and they are well behaved in the sense that they respond quickly to my...

I have been wanting to teach my dog to growl/"smile" on command for a while. I don't really know how to approach it. I've been trying to come up with a way to elicit it quickly so I can establish that the command means to growl and show his teeth. I think it'd be awesome to get him to bow down...

So I got my pup in May. He is about to turn 9 months. He catches on to tricks pretty quick. We have been working on hand signals as well. He will sit, down, speak, high five, shake, paw, bow, and roll over with just hand signals. A group of friends and I are going to make a horror movie. It is...

I've noticed that sometimes when I tell Pika to "sit" or to "lay down" he will look all rebellious and slowwwwly sit or lay down, (after me saying sit or lay down about 100 times) sometimes urinating when I go to push his back end down. Other times he does it happily and obediently?!!!?! So...
