(This is long Im sorry I just need to vent!) My baby Harley is a 5 year old Jackahuahua. He is absolutely adorable, and small...so people automatically assume he is friendly. Friendly he is not. I have tried several tactics to try to be nice and warn people that he is not nice. I tell them...

I hope someone can help me out.... I adopted a two year Miniature Australian Shepherd 5 months ago. I thought I could break him of some of his behavioral issues, but I haven't - He does get better at times, but then reverts back. This issues are as follows: 1. Indoors he whines constantly at...

My 16-month old (neutered) lab/border collie mix has some behavioral problems, seemingly regarding guarding. When he gets something he's not supposed to have, or has a bone with some meat on it, he has a habit of growling, snarling and occasionally snapping at us if we try to take whatever it...

First post! I'm so thankful that I have found this website because I really need help. My dog, Buddy, has been showing more and more aggression lately. He is neutered, mixed breed (we think he is an irish setter mix), and about 10 years old. He's very loving towards my family (usually) but my...

HELP! We have a female mini-dachshund who will growl at my husband and I and more importantly attacks our female chi-wiener. When they get locked in a fight it's nearly impossible to get them apart and someone always gets hurt. History: We got the chi-wiener when she was 6 weeks & when she was...

I'm not sure where this behavior has sprung from, if it is "normal" or if it's because he's 2.5 years old, maturing and growing in confidence! I also don't know whether it is a big RG issue, and if it is how to combat it. So in the past 7 days Kasper has growled at 3 dogs we have come across...

I have known my roommate for many years, and I knew her dog as well, and the dog and I have always gotten along. (a mutt, medium sized whippet mix.) The dog has always been a PITA (jumps on people when they enter, barks at any dog or people in its field of vision when on the porch, etc) but...

So I have a 6 month old Boxer/Anglican Bulldog mix (English bulldog/pit bull). I got him when he was 4 months old and he is the sweetest puppy. Lately when we've been on our walks and he sees people coming he starts to shake and growl in anticipation. Not a mean growl, more of a "oh my gosh...

I have a 13 week old puppy who is showing signs of being possessive of his toys and now sandbox. We just built one for him yesterday and he loves it! It has solved the problem on him digging and burying his toys, and bones in the yard. Today our neighbor girl (age 5) was visiting and I told...

My wife and I have a 10 month old Labrashepherd (Labrashepherds - German Shepherd Dog x Labrador Retriever), as I have heard the mixture between a Lab and German Shepherd called, who is extremely affectionate and listens very well. Olivia, the dog, picked up on house training, various commands...

I am mom to a 9 year old boy and a 3 year old border collie/blue healer. They act completely like brothers. My problem is that Jake, the dog, growls at my boy often. There are three specific examples I need help with. First: when my son pets Jake, Jake growls and leans in to the...

Hi, I have an issue that I'm not quite sure how to deal with. It makes it difficult for me to take him for walks. My dog Taco, will pull very strongly towards a dog to play. If I stop him, he will then growl. His heckles always go up when he plays with other dogs. But he is too rough with...

We've had her about 3 weeks now and only about a week ago she started to act very strangely around my brother. I say strangely because she was fine with him before. She's...
