Hello all, My newish dog (had her about 3 months now) has been settling in amazingly. She's an ex-hunting dog (we think...) from Spain. Podenco mix. She's quick to learn and nice and relaxed in the house. But the second we're outside, she switches to predator mode! Ears up, tail up...

Hi there, I've got a dilemma and really need some advice from seasoned dog owners. I've got a 2-ish-year-old dog that I rescued from a shelter a little over a year ago. He's a lab mutt but looks like a border collie. Ever since I've gotten him he's been a rough player, definitely a mouther and a...

8 days ago I brought home a 14 week old lurcher puppy, Ruari, from my local shelter. He'd been brought in with his brother and sister from another pound that were going to put him down. I fell in love when I met him, he was confident, happy, and loved to cuddle at all our adoption meetings...

Hi all, On Friday my new adopted dog will be moving in. She's a four year old podenco cross and I'm utterly in love with her. Met her a few times and she's been to the house for a bonding session, behaved like a total dream! But my brain is awash with worries... What if she gets out and runs...

I adopted a shepherd mix (maybe, not sure what all he is!) from the shelter about a month ago. He's somewhere between 8 months and 1 year old. We've been working on crate training and it's going...ok. He does not exactly go in willingly (he only does for jerky treats) and we're working on crate...

Hi there - I just got a 9 month old red tick coon hound. He was found chained to a fence with his sister, was moved from Tennessee to NYC, lived in 1 foster home, and is now with me, separated from his sister. He refuses to go outside - we took him out this morning and he just tried to find...

Hey all! I'm new here, and also I've just adopted my first rescue pup! He's a 2 year old tibetan spaniel named Tenzi and a totally adorable little guy. I live in a super rainy climate, where it rains A LOT for like half the year, but I'm finding out that Tenzi absolutely hates the rain! What can...

Hello- my new 10 month old rescue puppy goes nuts over squirrels and rabbits on walks, and one timelunged aggressively at a person. I am trying to train using a Gentle leader (in conjunction with obedience class & one-on-one time with a behaviorist), and I feel like we are going backwards...

Hello! I am brand new here with a brand new dog. She is a Slovak Cuvac, similar to a Pyrenees Mountain dog. These dogs have been bred to guard livestock. I live in the country but do not have a farm, so she is not a working dog and never has been. I just got her about a week ago from a couple...

I inherited a rescue dog not too long ago and she had puppies on 7/21. She is showing food aggression toward them and I don't know how to ease the situation, to move along the weening process, which according to everything I've read starts at about 4 weeks and should be completed by 8.5 weeks...

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...

About 6 months ago, I brought a perfect little rescue mutt into my life (about 6 months old when I got him). He wasnt a breed I normally would consider (smaller) but I fell in love. He was very high energy but I assumed he would calms down and never did. His high energy conflicts with how I like...

In the end of October of 2015, my family adopted our second dog from the Humane Society of West Michigan (adopted 4 all-together). This organization had received him from a kill shelter somewhere in Louisana. The HSWM takes a number of dogs from the south that are on "death row" to give them...

I recently (2 months ago) adopted a cavalier King Charles spaniel. She is 4 and was rescued from a puppy mill. She has been timid since the day I adopted her which I heard from many people was normal and would go away in no time. At the vet, I learned she has a severe double ear infection...

We have only had our rescue dog for 5 days. She is doing pretty well, no major complaints to be honest. I just get the feeling she thinks she is boss. I can get her to sit with treats, but playing with the ball, there is no way she will drop it and she won't look at me. She isn't that great...

Chance is a four year old Flat Coated Retriever that is my task trained service dog. He also competes in agility, is a demo dog for positive reinforcement training and responsible animal ownership, and is just about the sweetest dog I know! I adopted Chance when he was ten months old from...

Hello, I am a Foundation Degree student from Merrist Wood College and I am currently researching dog breed popularity in rescue centres. For my research project to be successful I need 100 responses to my questionnaire. I'm hoping the dog lovers on this forum will be able to help me reach this...

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...

Hey all! This is my first time posting in this forum but I really could use some training advice. I'm a vet student, and a few days ago I adopted a dog from my school who was used for teaching purposes her whole life (she's now 5). She wasn't abused or anything, but she's lived a very...
