I’m sorry in advance since this is long and rambling but it’s been a trying 2 days. We just brought a new dog into our home yesterday. We already had a 2-3 year old female Foxhound mix named Riley who is extremely aloof and independent but overall well behaved and chill. She’s also very...

So I currently have a six month old cocker spaniel - chihuahua puppy. We got her when she was 10 weeks old. Training is coming along nicely. She is super playful and has quite a few tricks under her belt. But one thing we have noticed is that she has trouble being alone. She just LOVES being...

Hello all! I have a six month old cocker spaniel - chihuahua puppy! She is super playful and has quite a few tricks under her belt. She also LOVES being around other dogs (and people!). For this reason I feel SO guilty when we have to leave her home alone a few hours a few days a week. I am...

Hi everybody! I just adopted a 1 yr old Silky Terrier Mix yesterday and I've noticed that every time I go to pick her up, she crouches down and I notice a small puddle. I'm not sure if this is because she was just spayed yesterday or if this is Submissive Urination - but either way, any...

Hello! I just joined because I adopted a 1 year old Silky Terrier mix yesterday and I've noticed some aggression from my usually calm 6 yr old Chi-terrier mix - but mostly just when she is trying to play with some of the toys. He's usually a very mellow dog, mostly a couch potato and so far she...

I'll try to keep this as short as I can. I have 4 cats and 1 dog - Cobber is a 7-mo, 20-lb Aussie Terrier who is just now starting to calm down somewhat from the crazed puppy and adolescent phases. I own a house with a fenced-in yard. Cobber goes to doggy daycare while I'm at work during the...

Good evening, Any advice would be gratefully received. We have a miniature dachshund at the moment who suffers from separation anxiety when left alone—displaying distress by constant and barking/howling. This is really down to the fact that I work from home so he has a lot of human company the...

A couple weeks ago I was assisting with a play group and this adorable 25 lb black fluffy thing came up behind me me and poked me with her nose. It was love at first sight, and she is the sweetest thing, has a great temperament and gets along with every other dog she's met in the shelter so...

Hi Would love some guidance. I have a 10 month mongrel bitch. She's clearly jealous of a puppy we're looking after and trying to show dominance to him but I'm trying to understand whether her behaviour is in the normal range which would settle down over time or whether she is likely to do...

I've had two dogs in the past before I got my current one (Shih Tzu.) I've seen the consequences of an unsocialized, dog-dominant dog when I rescued a Labrador retriever. Our Labrador was given to our aunt and I got my second dog, a Cocker spaniel, he was perfect and well socialized. It was then...

I've had my dog for 9 months (he's 11 months now) and he's been great. Things were rough in the beginning but I took the time and effort to work with him and now he's the best dog I could ask for. However, recently my mother died. Though I was the one who cared for him and took him out for...

We have a 4 year old female german shepard that is behaving oddly for around 6 months. When we put down food for her she often will approach, inspect the food and then walk away. She usually will check on our aged male chow who is getting medication in his food, although he has been doing so...

Hello, We recently took in a second dog as a foster on a temporary basis while deciding whether to adopt her permanently. We're running into some aggression issues that we don't really understand. Here is some background about the dogs. The first is a neutered male beagle/hound mix and weighs...
