Hello, We have a new pug puppy, he is 9 weeks old. He has been with us for about a week. I know it is still early but I want to make sure we are doing the best job from the start. He has a large play pen space to sleep including a place to potty if needed. During the night he will often go pee...

Hi All, This is my first time posting here, so apologies if I'm doing anything wrong! My partner and I just got a 6-month-old English cocker spaniel named Leo. We are currently in the process of crate training him, but I'm not sure what kind of bedding we should use for the crate. Initially, we...

My dog is a labradoodle, and is of 2years old, few days back, we noticed that he pooped a little bit on our sofa, while cuddling up with me. And tonight I noticed he pooped again, while sleeping on his bed. I have noticed this twice so far, he never had issues previously. During the day he...

Hello, We have recently acquired a Poochon cross breed, she is now nearly 11 weeks. We got her at 8 weeks and started night times with her in her crate in our bedroom with the crate door closed. We did this for the first 2 weeks and after the first couple of nights, she was sleeping through...

Help! I have a 6 month old shih tzu puppy, who suddenly won’t sleep through the night. When I first adopted him at 10 weeks, he wouldn’t sleep during the night at all. Normal for that age, I know. I finally managed to get him crate trained and he began to sleep 8 or more hours through the...

I grew up with sighthounds, so I rarely had to deal with barking. Myrrh is my first non sighthound dog, being a mix of everything under the sun. She's 11 weeks old and a real cutie. She's getting better with her play biting... except when I'm in the bedroom, trying to sleep. She launches herself...

I am the proud owner of a rescued Chihuahua/Beagle who is about 15-16 years old. He was my husband's for about 4 years, then I became his mom in 2009. Although he took warming up, he now treats me equally to my husband, even though he's still generally picky about others (I heard Chihuahua are...

After having my dog for two years, we've both grown accustom to sleeping together That is until about a week ago. Josie, my dog, is fine until I actually try to sleep. Then she'll start shaking and whining, not stopping until I open my bedroom door and let her out. During the day she will sit on...

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 everyone, I'm new here, I posted an intro thread yesterday about my new little hound, Argos. He's semi-feral. We adopted him from a highway rest stop where he apparently had been living for some time, in pretty bad shape. One week later, he's in great health and looks half the age he did...

I am at my wits end with a 5 month old puppy we adopted. He is cute as can be, but is giving my boyfriend and I nothing but trouble, and causing us to be unable to give our other puppy attention that she needs as well because we are constantly trying to correct his behaviours, to no avail. He...

I have a six month old beagle lab cross and he is a wonderful dog. The last couple of weeks I've noticed he's sleeping a lot more, spending most of the day sleeping until he has to go outside to do his business. He's not really interested in playing inside or fetch anymore either. We play tug of...

My pup was doing very well last week, my 6 week year old chihuahua was sleeping on his own in his box in the bathroom. He would cry for a few minutes, then with the help of some classical music he would go to sleep and stay quite for most of the night. Then all the sudden last night he was...

We are into our 24 hours of daylight part of the summer here and Lucifer my lab has decided that if its light out mommy should be awake !! He woke up at 3 am, 5 am, and again at 7 am to go outside. I know he doesnt have to go potty and just wants to play but the long days are confusing the poor...

We already have dog crates. (well-made plastic) But, what are the best kinds of dog crates in your opinion? We want the best for our dogs! :) We might even get a new Shih Tzu puppy. That's why we want crate choices. Especially choices for Shih Tzu puppies.

Hi all, My wife and I are in a bit of a crisis situation right now. We got a 5 month old labradoodle puppy on Saturday, and are having some trouble getting him to sleep at night. We put him in a crate (which is plenty big - almost double his size) in our room where he can see us, and he just...

Sigh Isn't California, especially the central valley supposed to be sunny right around this time of year? Geesh. My boys are actually being calm and I'm a jittery wreck (I'm trying to stay calm for the dogs sake, but I have a huge fear of thunder). The puppies aren't picking up on my...
