First of all, I'm sorry for stirring the pot. It wasn't my intention and I see that there is a lot of good advise on this site and I should've just kept my internet mouth shut on things that I considered unfair and taken in things that I do agree with. My question is- my puppy is pretty...

My pitbull/rot puppy is 14 weeks and often very sweet and playful. He is incredibly friendly and affectionate on walks. He has a fondness for women and all other dogs. He is extremely submissive to other dogs at the dog park. He shows this in play, often times falling over on his back, exposing...

So we have 5 dogs. Yeah, I know we're "hoarders" but save that for another therapy session. I only say that because I want to make it clear we "know" dogs. In that group we have a Shepherd/Chow, an American Bulldog and the Pit mix (maybe lab?), terrier/poodle and a chihuahua/rat terrier mix...

So my dog Leo has been a bit of a hassle from the beginning and has recently ( in the past week maybe) displayed some strange behavior that I would like some advice on correcting.

I was talking to my mom today on the phone and she has my pup's brother named Paxton. Well she began to express to me some issues she was having; hoping I would be able to help, if not at least see what information I can. It was easy to tell her what she needed to do with his "jumping on people...

Hi everyone, I bought an Amstaff pup 2 weeks ago, and need some guidance. I have owned Dobermanns all my life, and my pup's temperament is quite different to what I am used to. My first question: My pup shows a lot of aggression and seems to have a very short temper. He growls, snarls and...

Last night Jaime and I were curled up on the couch watching a movie with Chino on the floor in his bed and he got up and started barking and growling at the window. His tail was set high and curled at the tip... I got his leash, called him to me and went outside. I didn't see any person or dog...

Alright, so my handsome little man Trance is home as of yesterday! Let me say, that this little ten week old pup has dominated my 8 month old female, Indi, into social submission. LOL! He has the most drive out of any dog I have ever seen in person. Both in pack and prey behavior. I had...

Hello Everyone - I would like to start off by telling you the story of my little monster/piece of heaven. We adopted Gratch at the delicate age of 4 weeks. The reason for taking him in so young was that he was found by his mother dead body behind a dumpster. He was the only survivor of the...
