barking

Hi everyone! We recently moved in to a dog-friendly apartment from a house and my dog, Kleo, has been getting very reactive with lots (but not all) of the other dogs in the building. It's strange to me because: 1) Kleo is getting the same amount, if not more, exercise than she was at the house...

Hello all, I adopted a 10yo black lab about 2 years ago and he barks INCESSANTLY. His previous owners did nothing to curb the barking problem and so it’s been reinforced for a very long time. I have read many training books trying to curb the problem and nothing has worked so far. We go on...

Hello! I would love some insight and possibly some help with an issue I'm dealing with :) I'm definitely in the puppy haze, and not sure if I'm seeing things straight :D I have a wonderfully sweet, active and intelligent border collie puppy. Most of the time he is behaving excellently! He has...

My dog randomly starts growling and snapping at his tail angrily and this state will last for about 3 seconds when he returns back to normal. During this time he barks and sometimes makes like a yelping noise. I think something is hurting him. He will just be sitting there on the carpet and...

This is more of a rant than anything else but GEEZ, does no one else have this problem? You are excited and ready to go to have a little walk with your furry buddy. They are happy, you are happy, all good. Then? BAM. One foot out the door and its Bark Central. All the dogs big or small within a...

First of all, thank you for reading this post and for your input. It's invaluable. My husband and I live with his parents in a suburban town. When we moved in we brought our dog, a 1 year old pit bull terrier mix named Chloe. She's very energetic and spirited and we love her with all our...

I didn't really know what to title this because I am new here. I never planned on joining a dog forum since I only have one dog and once he is gone I am done with dogs. But at this point, I am desperate! A little backstory, my dogs name is Peanut. He is a long haired chihuahua who is approx. 7...

So hello! I am new to this forum but after alot of searching on the internet and not really finding relevant info there I thought I will try here. I own a cocker spaniel and she is 3 years old. She is generally very well trained, I have her since she was 2 months old. She listens very well to...

Hello everyone! I have a huge problem... My landlord's boyfriend moved in with us for a while because he's doing some works at his house and he brought his german shepherd with him. The dog is 2 years old and when they are home and they say to him to calm down is totally fine and just curious...

Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster :wave: I have a 17 week old pom who decided as of two nights ago that she didn't want to sleep during bed time. Prior to this she's been great. We've had her since she was 9 weeks old. The first night she barked incessantly for about 30 minutes when...

HI All, Great to be here!! I just got a 2 yo mal boy who is fully trained as a sniffer, he can't socialize with other dogs as he is very very timid and hides from even a chihuahua!! I guess the owners we got him from said he was a fully trained Government tracker in certain things and well...

I apologize in advance for this being so long.... So the last month or so we've had our dog we've been over the moon. She's beautiful, affectionate, and a great dog all around. She's a 3-year-old rescue pup which seems to be something of a brittany and cocker spaniel mix. She is very high...

Hello, Sorry this might be a long read... I'm brand new to these forms and hope I can get some help with my 5 year old German Sheppard/Chow/American Dingo mix. (At least thats what we think he is) It's my girlfriends dog, his name is Rusty, he was with her before I came into the picture so I...

Hi. My wife and I adopted a female dog about 8 months ago. She just turned 1. We have been encountering several issues with her behavior. -When we are at home, our dog will continuously nip at both of us. We try to distract her with toys from time to time but she has no interest in them. We...

Hello everyone. So I have a 16 month old Chihuahua puppy. It wasn't until she was about 10 months old that she began to bark for no apparent reason whenever we are out in public. We want to find out what we can do to stop her from barking too much, because we are training her to be my disabled...

Hello, My cockapoo puppy is 7 months old and is quite difficult to handle. He has improved with biting since he was younger but will bark, growl, and bite my ankles and hands seemingly for no reason. He needs constant supervision because he will grab things like shoes, paper, pens etc. and...

My dog has a habit of barking and growling and lunging at anything with wheels that is moving, including push chairs, cars, bicycles, skateboards, etc; and also people who are running or moving fast. And just today (the reason I've joined this forum), we were in a cafe, and for the first time...

my American Staffordshire Terrier, Rex, is now 10 months old and we originally lived on a property and now living in a fenced yard. when rex is left alone he has chewed through my big wood front door, and when left outside he tries to escape and just sits at the gate barking and won't even go...

Over the years my family has gotten many dogs; currently we have seven dogs in total. Each dog is one year older than the other as in one dog every year for seven years. Our four legged companions however have become increasingly difficult to take care of, and I am no expert on K9 behavior. The...

Help! I've become that neighbor with the barking dog! I have an eight month old lab/hound mix (my first dog!). I've had him about a month and I'm attempting to kennel train him. Today I left for about two hours and came back to my neighbor telling me my dog has been barking for the last hour...
