Hello, I'm new to this website, but I'm feeling very frustrated. I'm more so looking for some success stories, because I've tried just about everything and I would love to hear of others who tried everything and it eventually just worked. My dog is a five year old black lab, she's been with me...

Hi there! I'm not sure if this is allowed so if it's not, please feel free to delete :). I introduced Milo here a few months ago and got some great feedback on potty training the little guy. He's doing much better and he just turned one year old. We had a puppy party for him at a "Canine...

My dog pees on all of the rugs in the house, and only sometimes right on the floor. He's six-months-old, fixed, a rescue, never been trained, and actually previously abused. I take him outside to do his business about every two hours and sometimes more, but he still pees inside. He was accident...

Hey guys! My five year old mutt came into our home about two months ago. In the time before we were given the okay to spay her, she humped one of my friends one time. We recently had her spayed (two weeks ago today), but about a week after she started humping people. She has humped me (who she...

We just adopted an 11 month old Queensland heeler 1 week ago. He is still recovering from being neutered, and so for the first few nights we slept either on the couch with him on the floor next to us with the leash on, or in bed with him on the floor next to us with the leash on. We bought a...

We adopted Bentley about a month ago. He had a bad history of crating with his previous family, so we didn't start crate training right away. We gated off the dining room for the first few weeks. We had accidents (pee) most days, even if we came home at lunchtime. He was also very anxious and...

I've never been a dog owner, I've always been partial to cats. My fiancé and I went strolling on in to Petsmart in January this year to buy cat food for our cat, and what do we see in the middle of the store but the local pet rescue organization and 6-7 dogs made available for adoption. One...

My girlfriend and I are talking quite seriously about adopting, and we came across the following event in Rhode Island next weekend (see link below). MY GF surprised me and filled out an application without telling me…not that I’m against it but I’m more concerned with the whole event itself...

Two days ago I brought home a foster dog and we are doing a two week adoption trial to see if he fits into our family. We have four other dogs and he does well with them, however he growls and lifts his lips at my dad when he comes into my room if I'm in it and near him. The dog is one year old...

My 5 year old white boxer is a piece of work. I got her when she was 2 years old and she has been a bundle of anxiety problems. She was obviously abused and is easily startled. She tends to favor men over women meaning she is often more relaxed with my boyfriend than with me. I have to crate her...

Hi All! I'm an avid animal lover. I volunteer with several animal shelters and rescues as a photographer, trainer and foster parent. I myself have two lovable tripod mutts who are both rescues. Watson and Sherley (short for Sherlock) and they are our world! (We also have rats, guinea pigs and...

This is a long post... Sorry. Hi guys, My girlfriend and I have had our dog, Henry, for around 4 months now. He is a shih tzu who has been rescued from being a stud dog at a puppy farm in Ireland. We have already seen some immense changes in the past few months. When we first got him, he would...

I just wanted to start this journal from the beginning. Pippin is a 6 month old rescue pup. Jack Russell mix (maybe?) about 20lbs. This is his second day home from the rescue. He is a super clever dog and really playful. I don't know his history before the shelter (he was an owner surrender...

we just brought out little guy home from the SPCA today, we call him Pippin. He's 6 months old and I think he's a 20lb Jack Russell blend. He's a clever guy, but he has a lot of issues that i need to work out. I'm not expecting a magic solution to immediately stop his issues, i know he'll be...

first post too ;) Well, my parents had a couple lap dogs when i was younger, but they weren't so much as potty trained, and i plan on doing things a lot differently. It will be the first dog my kids have ever had, they are aged 10, 4, and 2. We'd been planning on getting a dog for a while...

Last week I was given a small, 9 mo. old terrier mix dog. He'd come from a loving home, but the owner had 15 small dogs, and had recently lost his own home. Our dog came to our home with nothing. I brought him home in a borrowed travel kennel fixed up with towels, bought him food, dishes...

My current dog Peace, is rescued street dog from Russia and she is also my second ex-street dog. Both of my dogs suffered from various problems as rescue dogs tend to suffer from separation anxiety and many other behavior problems. Fortunately in most cases they are treatable. I got Peace when...

Help! We picked up our bitch Freya from a rescue center ten days ago. For the first week she was happy to go to sleep on her bed, was happy to be left and was really easy going, she played and interacted with us and seemed really relaxed. In the last three days she has been increasingly...
