puppy behavior

We rescued Ozzy about a month ago from the city shelter. Our vet thinks he's about a year old. We're not exactly sure what mix he is maybe someone can tell by the photo. We had previously adopted a Miniature Schnauzer in Dec from the same shelter. Problem is Ozzy has way too much energy while...

My husband and I recently got a blue heeler/border collie mix. She's about 10 weeks old now. We are working on potty training and she's doing pretty well. When my husband or I is home alone with her she becomes very fearful when we go outside and we have a hard time getting her to be playful...

Hi, I've had my puppy since he was about 6 weeks old and I've always fed him out of plastic containers since he was so small. I've had at least 4 dogs prior to him and they all had their own bowls, but they were metal. 3 of the 4 were pit bulls and my puppy is a pit bull. When my other dogs died...

My 5-month-old puppy is, of course, teething. She is a remarkably gentle and calm creature for her age, I think, but she does like to mouth my hands sometimes when we're hanging out. It's always been my "policy" to not allow ANY teeth-to-skin action, but I read an article yesterday that said...

I just adopted a puppy from a rescue (see my post in the "New Members" section); she's about 4 1/2 months old, I think. She is pretty much an angel, except for a few issues that would be expected from a puppy her age (and she's very willing to learn, and smart). She made me incredibly happy the...

Ralphie is the first dog that has been a completely indoor dog for me, so I had some questions on normal potty training behavior for adolescent dogs. Ralphie is a 6 1/2 month old Aussie/Collie/Lab mix. He is almost completely potty trained. He lets us know (usually) when he has to go outside...

Hello, My girlfriend and I have two puppies. One is an 11 month old lab/boxer mix and the other is a 5 month old mix-breed, possibly some sort of hound/shepherd/terrier, both females. We rescued the younger one at 8 weeks and have had the older one since she was about 8 weeks as well. Our...

Hello new friends, I have a 10 week old Catahoula/Australian Shepherd Mix. He's my first dog AND my first puppy, so you can imagine what this experience might look like. Here for help and to connect with other dog people so I know what's normal dog behavior and what isn't! :)

My neighbor was grateful I had spent my summer babysitting her kids, so when her (mix) dog had puppies, I was allowed first pick. I'm a first time dog owner, and I knew absolutely nothing about dogs other than you buy food, treats, toys, and a bed for them (and that they pooped). So when the...
