Hi, I was fostering to adopt-a-dog and in the process of getting to know her, I found that she had some behavior issues that I don't feel experienced enough to handle.

In October, I lost the love of my life, my 17yr old beagle. We still had another 3 year old beagle boy. A few months later, we offered to temporarily take custody of an un-neutered male terrier. He was kind of weak and sick to begin with, but we got him on the road to recovery. Temporarily...

Good afternoon guys, I ran into this forum and I'm hoping I can find some help.

Our oldest dog is a Yorkshire Terriere named Zoe. She's nine years old, and when we got her at the time, didn't know she came from a backyard breeder. She has a collapsed trachea, epilepsy, and to make things worse, a lame back leg. Because of these problems, she could never go outside or be...

Since my chihuahua/yorkie mix was 1 (now 7), he has had behavior issues I’ve tried to fix. Thankfully he rarely bites but the barking and possession is out of control. Examples: 1- freaks out when anybody comes into my apartment, 2- when someone stands up he goes nuts barking and follows them...

Alright. I have had my little Norwegian Elkhound buddy since he was 8 weeks old and he was quickly housetrained, nearly in two weeks of getting him. He is now 8 months old and up until a few weeks ago, he had not been having any accidents in the house since he was probably 11 weeks old. He was...

My dog does this weird thing where he zooms around the house and pees in like... 4~5 different places after baths. Do your dogs do that too? My dog is only 7 months old so I'm not sure if this is something he'd just grow out of or if this is something I really need to worry about. :confused:

Hello, Frankie is a 1 year old male miniature pinscher. He is VERY lovable to family and friends. The only issue I am currently having with him is his behavior while we are on walks. He will growl and lunge at ANY stranger that walks by us on walks without provocation (trying to pet...

Hello, first time poster. I'm a vet tech with a 12 pound mutt that everyone swears up and down is an Italian greyhound (he is most definitely not. Probably toy fox terrier and chihuahua). He's a "special" child. He tries very hard and is actually kind of smart but learns very slowly. It...

Hi All! Please bear with me as I try to get all the information you need to offer any help and advice. I've been dating this girl for the past four years. She lives with her parents and they have two dogs, one miniature poodle (considered her parents dog), and a beautiful German Shepherd Husky...

Hello, I am in a desperate need of help, I love my new adopted friend and wouldn't dream about giving him back to a shelter again. I promised him a home for life and I'm sticking to my promise. Yet he is driving me nuts and I don't know what to do. I'm googling his behavior constantly and I...

Some back-story: About two months ago, I adopted a handsome German Shepherd mix from animal control, they were about to put him down because of his age. He's around 6 years old, I don't know much about his past because he apparently came in as a stray. But he's housebroken, knows stay, and now...

Hello, I rescued an abandoned pit bull/black mouth cur mixed dog (Tobey) who is approximately 2 years old. He's been with me now for almost 5 months and was neutered about 4 months ago. All I know about him is that he was attacked by two wandering pit bulls when he was younger (he was pretty...

I have a 5 and a half month old Great Dane that we got at 4 months as a rescue. She started off scared of everything but learned what potty meant right when we got her. However, if my boyfriend and I aren't in the room she'll pee or poop on the floor but only by the doors. She goes about every...
