We brought Simon home 11 months ago- 20lb rescue from Mexico Terrier mix. He just very randomly nipped a man on his achilles tendon and broke some skin. In the past 11 months he's tried to do this a few times. We live rurally and are most often on relatively unpopulated trails. I want to keep...

Hello! My dog is a 2 year old rescue terrier mix (30 lbs). I rescued him almost a year ago and he has always had some fear aggression and anxiety. Anytime I take him to the Vet he loses it and snips and growls so we have to muzzle him and drug him before bringing him into the Vet. It’s odd...

Sorry for the long post! Basically, my dad adopted a puppy recently. Turns out he wasn't ready for all the work. He feeds her and takes her out, but is not really exercising or training her.... and his method of discipline is yelling and slapping her on the butt. (I've told him many times that...

Hello everyone, I am new to this website but would just like some advice if anyone can help me. Two weeks ago we welcomed the most lovely natured border collie puppy into our family home.

Our puppy is about 8 months old now and has started behaviors that we didn't have prior to taking him to doggie day care. Barks, jumps, nips at your clothing and runs (zooms) around like catch me if you can. He has been to puppy training, gets plenty of exercise during the day, and when we give...

Hello, First time poster! Thank you if you decide to comment with any advice or tip bits! I got Lupa (a 2 year old Husky, Australian Shepherd, and German Shepherd mix) 8 months ago from a local shelter here in Indiana. I do not know her background, except that she has been returned twice. At...

Hello, I am new and seeking help with one of my dogs. He is a Walker Coon Hound mix and about 3 years old. He has a problem with showing aggression (growling, occasional nip/lunge) at my wife when I am not around. If I am present he doesn't display any of these issues. This started when my wife...

Hi there, I have a 1.5yr hound-ish mutt, who is the sweetest pup you'd ever meet normally...very submissive, loves people and other dogs (so much love!), and is so sweet, tolerant and gentle with my kids...he has never shown a hint of aggression toward them in any setting. We've been having...

Hi, I have two dogs that we adopted from a rescue within the last few months. The second dog we adopted is a GSD mix female who helps our first dog with her pent up energy in the house. We call her a therapy dog for our first dog because she is so chill and just takes all of the silliness from...

I was given a german sheppard/terrier puppy at 8 weeks. He was taken from his mom at 4 weeks. He is now 14 weeks old, and I have moved twice due to bad neighbors. When I first got him, I worked a full time Mon-Fri job as well as a few nights at a bar. I have him on a schedule but when I...

Hello, I have a miniature dachshund who is just over 3 months old. He is constantly trying to bite feet, hands, arms, hair, ears, necks, faces and anything he can get his teeth around. He has been ill since we bought him and has been on several sets of antibiotics which has meant that he could...

My rottweiler is 7 years old and has been living with us all his life and just as recently as today, My father would call him over and he would reach his hand out to pet him and the dog will just start growling at him and slowly backing away like he is some kind of stranger or something. He even...

We have an 8 month old standard poodle, Charley. He is doing well with training and has learned several tricks and for the most part is well behaved (besides normal puppy chewing etc) when we are INSIDE. When we are outside in the yard, however, he starts pouncing and jumping and barking and...

I have a spayed female Aussie mix, about a year and a half old (she's a rescue), who loves other dogs, loves kids, and is very bonded to me. My boyfriend and I adopted her in June and she's in basic obedience classes, and we exercise her outside for at least two hours per day. In addition, she...

I'm currently in the process of moving into a new apartment. My roommate is a stranger who I met on Craigslist, and she has been living in the apartment for the past two years. She has a 6 year old Jack Russell mix. The first time I came to the apartment to take a look, my roommate-to-be was...

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...

Hello all! Our 15 month old Brittany, Junot, has started back up on an old behaviour of his from puppyhood - attacking our mittens (and then coats, sleeves, hoods - he's got quite the vertical leap) when on or off leash. He's not an aggressive dog and has never drawn blood or bitten to the...

So I adopted a dog this past weekend (have had him 5 days now), and he is the most adorable and loving guy. I am attempting to implement the two week shut down. He is just over 1, and he has never been consistently disciplined. I read that during these two weeks you are not supposed to train...
