Hi, Me and my sister just re-homed this 8 month old husky mix. He's been really great up until a few days ago where he would start mouthing very hard and tugging on clothes really hard. We tried turning around to ignore him to send a message that it is not okay behavior but he starts tugging...

Hi, I'm new here and I'm looking for any advice available. I have a 1.5 yr old labrador retriever/bernese Mountain female (she's ~92 lbs) that loves the water.

Hey guys, Vent/question! I have my 7 month old puppy. I've been reading stuff on here about teaching puppies not to mouth/bite and putting all the suggestions into practice, with varying levels of success. It just seems like he hasn't really picked up on the bite inhibition. I don't know if I...
