Hi, new here and seeking advice. It’s day 4 since my rescue bit me in the face. So far, I think the sutures and healing looks decent. Based on the photos I’ve found on Google search, I’m hopeful the scarring won’t be too bad in a year or so. I’m trying to reserve my judgement until the sutures...

I know there are dozens of threads on this and I've read most of them. But, I do think that every situation is different so I'm hoping to get some customized advice for my sweet pooch, Liberty Belle. She's a Humane Society dog who is person-reactive. (she loves dogs). I've had her for two...

Hi i have a 7 month old Maremma X Golden Retriever puppy called Leo and he has been barking and trying to lunge at people on our walks since 1 and a half month ago, he used to only bark at people outside our house walking by and he only pulled and didnt bark on walks before but every since the...

I have a 7 year old American Eskimo/Pom mix (male, about 20lbs) that I adopted when he was 2 y/o. Not much background on his life previous, just that he was house and crate trained, had a sister he was housed with initially, and that both had been surrendered to a shelter. He did have trouble...

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...

My 1.5 year old cavapoo Cora has quite a bit of anxiety/fear, especially with strangers coming into our house or approaching her in general. These triggers are easy to anticipate/replicate, and we’re working with her to counter-condition and desensitize her by minimizing her negative reactions...

So my fiancé and myself got our first dog together (Willow, she's right around 2). We've both had family dogs in the past, but have had this one for 4 days. Obviously new surroundings cause at least some form of anxiety. She's made herself very comfortable in home and that transition was a lot...

Hi everyone! We recently moved in to a dog-friendly apartment from a house and my dog, Kleo, has been getting very reactive with lots (but not all) of the other dogs in the building. It's strange to me because: 1) Kleo is getting the same amount, if not more, exercise than she was at the house...

I have a 2 year old Catahoula Hound Mix. We got her when she was 6 months old. The foster mom had worked on socializing her and training her; however she was still incredibly nervous in some situations. She jumped into our laps upon meeting us and all of our close friends, but she would be...

I've had my new puppy for 2 months now. She's almost 4 months. She's actually a pretty good puppy overall, but she's starting to be reactive to any noise and bark/growl at anything that startles her. She used to not get startled and I'm so worried she's going to be a reactive dog. She also hates...

Hello! Basically I am after a dog harness that has the words 'nervous' / 'shy' / 'in training' / 'I need space' on it. Zoey is nervy around large dogs after she was attacked by a few (they were off lead where they shouldn't be and had no recall, Zoey was on lead). Now when big dogs approach...

So my pup still is highly reactive seems to be worse its like whenever i take him out side for a walk he will just go nut and start growling at me and jumping up to bite me (not bite to like kill or anything but nips and they hurt still) also if he see a dog or person he wants to run over to...

Hi! Today I bought Dottie, my fearful/reactive dog, a lickety stik hoping we could use it on walks when we pass dogs or scary people along with her other treats. She sniffed it and tentatively licked the roller ball, before skittering away and deciding it was terrifying. :rolleyes: I was hoping...

So, I've had Rocky since February and recently moved back to NYC with him. He is VERY leash reactive- towards dogs mostly, but also skateboards, scooters, buses and trucks. We have been working very hard on his reactivity (LAT), and he shows marked improvement, which is always followed a rapid...

Sooo I'm new on here and I have a few questions :) I am the proud owner of two Mini Aussies (Cougar and Jett). They are full brothers, Cougar is a 4 year old red merle and Jett is a 2 year old blue merle. I've just recently started Cougar back in agility after a 3 year break, and I'm thinking...
