Hey everyone, I just posted the other night about crate training at night with my 9 week old boy Ash. I gave an update there about how his nights were going in the crate and he's finally learning the grate is great, during night time at least. He sleeps through the entire night and doesn't even...

Hello, I've got a 4 month old cavalier puppy that I'm worried about leaving all day. Currently my signification other was working nights, and I worked day shifts - so typically the pup was never left alone. (It worked perfectly) Sadly things have changed, and my S.O. is moving across the...

Hello ladies and gents! New years eve, my boyfriend and I brought home a 10 year old chihuahua mix. She has no reliable training, chases our kitten, and can't tolerate confinement of any kind. I've barely gotten any sleep this week, and now i'm sick, it sucks. I have done my best to introduce...

Hi all! I've had my 4 year old boston terrier, Mimi, for a couple of months now, and she has been adjusting pretty well (we've had a few issues, but have seen awesome improvement!) Currently, I live about 5 minutes away from where I work my regular 9 to 5 job, so I am able to come home every day...

Hello. I have a black lab/wire-haired pointer that is a few days away from being a year old. He is friendly, incredibly cute, and very affectionate. The only problem is, he cannot be alone. He hates being kenneled, and he reacts very poorly to it. We gave up on the kennels, because on numerous...

Hello! I adopted Olli about a month ago. Olli is a 10 year old beagle/chihuahua mix. From what I'm told, he was recently turned into a shelter because his family couldn't take care of him anymore. When we are together, I never hear a peep from him. Maybe some mild crying, but nothing...

A little over a year ago I rescued a beautiful whippet mix from a local organization. She was about 4 years old and had severe emotional issues. When I first met her and saw how timid she was I knew that I had to bring her home. When she first came she was heavily medicated and the long term...

Hi everyone! We just adopted a two year old (par the vet, although we were told three) Pug/Jack Russell Terrier. She is the sweetest dog to us (my husband and I). She loves belly rubs, and is a huge cuddler! She likes my other dog Barney, and together they will run and run at the park together...

My Missy is a 2 year old mini schnauzer/shih tzu mix and she is fine when I leave her at home by herself. I live in an apartment and have talked with neighbors who say they never hear her bark, whine or anything while I'm gone. But, I have a few neighbors in my complex who have dogs she's...

Hi, My partner and I have recently got a puppy. She's 10 weeks old now and we've had her from 7 weeks. The first few nights she would cry quite a bit at night when we put her in her crate, but after looking it up online it seems no more than can be expected from a young puppy. Thankfully she...

Two years ago we adopted a husky mix dog who had several behavioral issues. At the time we were living in an apartment. We took her to her Petsmart Obedience lessons, worked with her constantly, took her out 6x a day and made weekly trips to the dog park. Still, she had severe separation anxiety...

I have three dogs: Mom - Georgie - a little over three-years-old, full-blooded Black Labrador Beef and Gracie - Georgie's pups - they are about eight-months-old, half Black Lab, half Golden Retriever. They are indoor dogs. All are kennel trained. Georgie is out of the kennel during the day...

Hello everyone, I know there are many threads of leaving your dog alone, many about separation anxiety. My dog (an Icelandic Sheepdog, 9 months old) does not have separation anxiety - we have ruled this out since we have taped him, and he basically falls asleep the whole time we are not home...

I started a different thread because this is an entirely different problem... Yuma is crate trained, and until about a week ago was pretty quiet in the room his crate is in (unless Lucy gets excited when someone comes in the door and he can hear her jumping around like crazy). Lucy was in a...

Didn't see any threads about this thus far (though there are 100+ pages of threads there may be something), I just recently adopted my first dog, I've grown up with dogs, but this is MY first dog... any way. I adopted him on Friday, got him home to find out he's already potty trained and really...

Hello all! New member to the site and looking for some advice from trusted and learned individuals! About two weeks ago I adopted a 9-month Australian Cattle Dog/Siberian Husky from the SPCA. They say he was brought in my the police because of neglect...has never lived inside, though was not...

Hey guys, I'm new to dogforums.com and also to dog ownership! I'm a cat person. I grew up with cats, I got a cat in college and I've since gotten a second cat. I love cats. I love everything about them. BUT, I thought that was probably just because I grew up with them and never had a chance to...

Mattie is my 8.5 year old mutt from PACA. She has always been labeled a major sufferer of separation anxiety by family, friends, and vets. It has always been a problem. She's older, so she has a history that I may as well tell. I have had her since she was 5 months old. She was born under a...

So, we've had my tibetan spaniel mix for about 2 years now, she's now at age 4. When we got her in 2008, she showed signs of severe separation anxiety right off the bat. Unfortunately, we didn't do much to correct it at the time, as we both worked night shift and had to leave her alone in the...

I am new to having a puppy, so I could use some guidance. I have a 3 1/2 month old puppy piti. He is a very good boy that is learning fast with the new things I am teaching him, such as becoming house-broken and plays well with other dogs and people. The problem though is that he loves people...
