About 18 months ago my 5yr old Staffy fell on the ice and ruptured her spinal cord leaving her paralyzed. My vet recommended putting her down. Which sadly we did. She said it was not common. And that she had only seen one other dog with a similiar injury. I rescued a wonderful APBT shortly...

Hi everyone. Having a great deal of issues with my 1 year old female. I understand that being she's still so young, she's testing me and my patience but I'm having an issue with her always jumping on the couch always has her mouth open when we play or pet her. It's not an aggressive posture...

First off, please forgive the length of this post. I feel everything posted is relevant to explaining the problem. So I had a foster from November last year to March this year. Basically put, she was a fantastic dog. She got along with my other 2, was crate trained, very gentle and obedient...

Hi everyone, I have a 2 1/2 year old Rottweiler/Presa mix that has become very guard like at our house. I understand that the Presa in her would be a guardian dog. My wife had a friend over today and she kept barking at her and pulled my wife toward her as if she wanted to attack. I wasn't home...

I ordered a Flirt Pole from O'Briens. 2 weeks ago. I have a 20 month old blue pit. I been trying to get him to go after it.I even hanged his favorite toy on it. Nothing. He will go after it for a minute then will stop or he will just look at it and walk away.. Is there a trick to this. Thank you.

About a week ago I adopted "Drama" from an anti cruelty society, he's almost 7 months. He was found as a stray and was very frightened and standoffish when he first arrived at the shelter but he's a total sweetheart so they named him Drama. Anyways, the first couple days at home were great! He...

Need your advice guys. I live in a neighborhood without fences. A new neighbor moved in with 3 pitbulls, bulldog and a chihuahua. Youngest pitbull and bulldog are sweetest things ever, running around and flipping belly up when I come close. Two older dogs not so much. I garden a lot and on more...

I ordered a Flirt Pole from O'Briens. I received it yesterday. I have a 20 month old blue pit. I been trying to get him to go after it. He just looks at and walks away or goes down on all fours and just looks at it. Is there a trick to this. Thank you.

When my pup was given to us I took her to the vet and found up she was full of hook worms and coccidia. Now as she is getting older I always think in the back of my mind that those things sffected her growth as she is about 20lbs right now at 10 months where the rest of her littermates are more...

My boys pit might have to get surgery due to a torn acl, he also mentioned that his dog has a bad hip. Is that known to all pits to have a bad hip as they get older? His dog is 3 years old. Sent from Petguide.com Free App

I have an American Pitbull mix. Not quite sure what she's mixed with, but most likely something in the same family. I've had for a year and 4 months. Adopted her from a Humane Society. She was very rough when we first got her, she's calmed down some since then. Sometimes she whines when she has...

Well, I got my puppy a little over a week ago, I believe I have gained her trust im just worried a bit about her whining and always wanting to be around me all the time. With one roommate home I can leave the room for a few moments and she wont follow me, but unless someone is playing with her...
