Hi all, Sorry for the long post! I'm a new owner and want to make sure I'm doing this right: I adopted my new 2 to 4 yo pit mix on Saturday; he has to stay 20 minutes away at my parents' house until I move in late July to a place that doesn't have breed restrictions. Normally I would have...

My rescue Jezebel is a sweetheart, but her food aggression knows no bounds. She bit my puppy and took his bone the other day, cutting him up pretty badly. I'm unsure who gave him the bone because I'm pretty strict about keeping them separated when it comes to food. Also, she bit him and pinned...

Hi everyone, this is long, but please bear with me. Background information: our dog Tyson is an APBT, we purchased him as a puppy 8 years ago (came w/papers, temperament, health records). He is a great dog and we consider him our first "child." He weighs about 50 lbs, neutered, and is UTD on...

I've had this puppy for one month. I got her when she was 9.5 weeks old. We walk a lot, do training with a clicker, play a little tug of war from time to time, but I always have her "drop it" if she gets too excited. Today I gave her a marrow bone (the kind that are chopped into one inch sized...
