My 1 year old pitbull Bindi I feel is very stubborn. For example she jumps up on the couch and our bed when we are not watching and when found up there she curls up even more looking guilty like she knows she’s not meant to be up there. (she has her own bed) We say “get down” repetitively and...

Our 11 month old boy has been refusing to poo outside and I just can’t figure out why! We have no problems with him peeing inside, but when I comes to poo?! Geez, I just don’t get it! We will go outside many times a day, 15 minutes at a time and he will still come inside and poo in the basement...

I have had this dog since she was 9 weeks old. She was raised on a farm with little social interactions. Her parents were a Great Dane black lab and a purebred greater Swiss mountain dog. I had walked her 3 times a day for the first day 6 months and lived a 5 minute walk from a dog park that she...

I have a 8-year-old, beagle/basset rescue, Penny. I've had her for 6 months. I love her to bits, but she's an absolute nightmare to walk. As expected of a hound dog, she loves to sniff sniff sniff. I understand that it's her natural instinct, and judging by her wagging tail, it is her...

Hello everyone! I have a one year old beagle mix named Finn, and he's a very stubborn guy. He gets commands somewhat quickly when I teach them to him, but tends to pick and choose when he wants to respond (even though I don't reward him until he does them completely). My biggest concern right...

Hello everyone, Firstly just wanted to say a big thank you - my first post on this forum around 2 months ago was because Logan and I were really struggling to adjust to a new routine and I was considering returning him to the breeder for his own good and happiness. Your advice really helped me...

I had a dog in my childhood, and then again in early 20s. The first one was a cocker spaniel. The second one was a 4-year-old rescue (lived to 14 years old). Both of these experiences were mostly amazing (especially with the rescue), and I couldn't wait to get another dog. Now I finally have a...

Hello! My boyfriend and I adopted our pup, Ruby, 2 and a half weeks ago and we absolutely LOVE her. She is a 15 pound, 12 week old Australian Cattle dog (possibly mixed with a Border Collie) and she's a sweetie (at least half the time :wink:). The other half of the time, she's a typical puppy...

We have a 9 month old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. We have had her since New Years and "rescued" her from a puppy store where she looked miserable. Anyway, we have been trying our hardest to house break her to no avail. She seems to have no idea what to do once outside. She just stands there...

Hi, My name is Andreea and I am the owner of a cutie Shar-pei named Lulu. She is extremely smart and very easy to train in the house, but impossible to handle outside. To get a bit of background on us, here is our story in short: I got her when she was 2 mo. old. She was extremely smart and...

Hi everyone, I am Christie, Chris for short... I have Sasha, she is 11 weeks old, purebred Alaskan Malamute puppy. We are having some issues with her. We got her when she was 7 weeks old, was great, had some potty issues. Tried crate training... epic fail. Now, every time she goes in her crate...

Hi, I recently adopted an adorable shih tzu from a local shelter. The poor baby was living in a puppy mill for the first few years of his life. He's generally doing great and adapting well to a much more pampered life. With that said, I'm having a lot of difficulty with walking him. Despite...

I recently adopted a one year old female Australian Shepherd. She is, in nearly every respect, the perfect dog. My wife and I looked at many different breeds before adopting, and decided that an Aussie was a good dog for us due to their intelligence, temperament and size. We were aware of the...

My two-year-old blue heeler Maybelle has always been incredibly obedient under most circumstances. She has one trick in particular where she picks up her toys when I ask her to, leaves them outside/inside (depending on the toy), fixes her mistake when she sneaks an "outside ball" in, or brings...

HELP!! MY DOG IS A STUBBORN EATER! My dog, Max, refuses to eat his own food. I've tried all different brands, wet and dry and finally settled on on brand that he will kind of eat. All he wants is "people food". It doesn't matter if it's the toast I just burnt or a frozen greenbean on the floor...
