Hi everyone! I’ve got a 10 year old Bichon with possessive aggression. Nothing really seems to work with training him out of it. Whenever he’d get a sock or pair of underwear, we’ve learned to just get him a treat to distract him, otherwise we’d get growled at and nipped if we tried to take it...

I liked to think I am capable of training dogs and I understand their behaviour. I know, pride. I realise how stupid I am. My dog is 8 and I am aware that she's anxious and reactive and I act on that. I've probably made her feel fearful amd cornered during playing and she acted aggressively...

Hi all, we adopted our puppy a month ago when she was almost 6 weeks old. She turned 11 weeks today. She's a mongrel and we have no clue on her breed heritage whatsoever but based on her paws size she is gonna be in the range of a medium dog (she is 3.8kg at 11 weeks now). Initially when we got...

I have a 3.5 years old street dog that I adopted when he was about 6 months. He is very playful and with lots of energy. I walk him every day with and without a leash. It is a small/medium dog (24 pounds), he is very cute and attracts lots of attention of people and kids, a reason why we need to...

My shih-you was involved in a tussle with a Great Dane at the dog sitter while I was on vacation. She took him to the vet, who did x-rays, and prescribed antibiotics and pain medication for him. They also did x-rays and ive been told that the vet seemed to think he will be okay. This is the...

I have adopted a dog with my girlfriend to our apartment. The dog, Poppy, is 4-5 years old female pointer mix, she will be spayed soon because of adopting conditions. She is from a shelter, where she gave birth to 10 puppies, so she got separated from her puppies at 11 weeks. We don't know much...

Hi all, Around 2 weeks ago, my dog had these little marks we thought they were from when a doggy at the dog park was a bit rough whilst playing with her however he turned a little aggressive. The three red marks were there before but I think they have gotten brighter and now there are little...

Hello!! I need some help. My dogs cannot stop itching and biting themselves after a visit to a friends land. I don’t see fleas or ticks. I think they got bit by something and I’m unsure if I should take them to the vet. Please let me know if you know what kind of bites this could be.

I have two dogs that I’ve owned for almost a year now. I’ve been boarding them at the same place for months now. No issues. Today, I’m several hours and states away and I got a phone call stating my dogs have attacked a dog at boarding and need to be picked up now. I immediately pulled over to...

(4 attached pictures) Already made a vet appt. - just was curious if the community here has seen anything similar, if this type of thing is common, etc. So my shih-tzu is 10 yrs old now, has generally had good heath. She's on 'revolution' for ticks/fleas/mites/heartworm etc. About a month...

Hello, first time poster. It has come to this, I am in desperate need of help. I came across (long story) adopting a beagle (possible coonhound, we're not sure) mix in may of 2009. He is an awesome dog and I love him very much. However, over the years he has developed aggression issues. I may...

I have a 2-3 yo white chihuahua/papillon/pomeranian rescue who we've had for 10 weeks. He's been struggling with separation anxiety and we've have been training that. He's very sweet which is why I have been trying my best to work with him. He loves to just roll on his back and get belly rubs. I...

My future in-laws have a rat-terrier mix that has a growing aggression problem. I have grown up with dogs and absolutely love dogs but I cannot stand this one. I think my problem is more that my in-laws don't recognize the growing problem or think there is anything wrong with him. I have...

I met my girlfriend's dog yesterday for the first time, and he took a chunk out of my ankle! When I arrived at her apartment, she had him locked up in the bedroom, and he was barking furiously and scratching at the door. After 10 minutes of this, he calmed down a bit, and I recommended that she...

I have a chow mix, he is approximately six years old. I got him when he was about a year from a rescue. He has always been very high energy, and for the first few years, he did not listen at all. Now he is somewhat settled, and extremely friendly and affectionate and sweet with family members...

I have had my dog for about seven months. She was a rescue, found wandering the streets in TX. I don't know her history apart from that. She did have quite a few scars when i got her, but I don't know if they were from someone abusing her. They looked more like she got into fights with other...
