I have been working with my dog's reactive issues for almost a year. He is a little over 2 year old border collie, heeler mix with some other things thrown in. I got him at 7 months and for the first 6-8 months I had him, he was a great dog. We went on hikes, mountain bike rides, had people over...

How do I even begin? Jax has always been an extremely reactive dog, to the point where I was close to labeling it as straight dog aggression and leaving it at that. I’d been working with positive dog training for a bit and honest to god saw little to no progress. So I decided, screw it, and...

I have a small JRT mix (About 12 pounds) who has some of the worst reactivity issues. He’s about 9 months old, but screams and barks like it’s nobody’s business whenever there’s a dog or person near by. I’m a younger teenager, so I’m not able to get a job to hire a trainer. My parents have...

So, I qualify for an emotional support animal (esa) on my college campus and I've decided to adopt since getting a puppy would be a time commitment I can't fully make(I have time for daily walks and regular training sessions, but not housetraining or socialization). My esa wouldn't need any...

I have a lab/chihuahua/min pin mix (there's probably some other stuff mixed in there too) who is very reactive towards other dogs. He's 3 and I've had him for 2 years. He's been incredibly reactive since I've gotten him. The kinds of reactivity are mixed: towards some dogs it's pure aggression...

Hello! Short version: Our 10 mo old husky jumps up and bites me on walks and I am at a loss. Long version (sorry it's so long!): My husband and I got our first dog together in January at 8-9 weeks old. He's a male husky and he's our baby who we love very very much and would never give up, but...

My formerly highly sociable and cheerful 2 year old chihuahua Coco has now become pretty aggresive towards people. She will growl and bark at most strangers who aproach her and try to pet her. I can tell this is fear aggression too as she will immediatly try to hide behind me when someone...

6 weeks ago I began fostering (and just adopted (I'm a terrible foster parent)) a 1.5 year old 32# Corgi mix (probably Rhodesian, Boxer, Pit Bull, etc). He was not socialized/trained by his previous family and was rotting away in a shelter for 6 weeks. For his age and circumstances, he is...

I have a 1 year and 2 month old Australian Shepherd, Jordan. My Aussie also seems to only act "aggressive" or on guard, to whomever he chooses is a threat. We can pass by a bunch of people and he might just look or maybe even want to play and be friendly, but all of a sudden he'll go absolutely...

Hi! I would really love some advice (and encouragement). It might take a few paragraphs to get this out but here goes... I'm 31 and single, living with a roommate in a duplex apt. A month ago adopted a very large 9-month-old male pup (Great Dane/American Bulldog/??? mix). He had just been...
