  1. Dog Training and Behavior
    My dog is a hound mix (50/50 beagle foxhound). He was found abandoned in a rural area so likely he was a hunting dog at some point. And likely he was outside for his first three years of life. When I adopted him he was not housebroken and did not seem to understand many parts of the inside...
  2. Dog Training and Behavior
    Hi everyone! I apologize for the length of this post - brevity isn't my strong point when it comes to my furbaby's situation. I'm brand-new to this wonderful forum. Last night I read DogForum's guidelines and then I searched for a while to see if there were similar posts. While there were a few...
  3. Dog Training and Behavior
    There are several factors to put into consideration if you're interested in breeding a dog, you need to know if the dog has been tested for brucellosis, if the parents of the dog are protected from disease, how often dogs go into heat etc.

    So I have a husky x lab, who is about 2 1/2 years old. I took him in 4 months ago, he had a single owner before then. He is a beautiful dog, so well behaved at home but not great on lead.... He was only walked once a week and I am walking him twice a day.... he initially pulled like crazy on the...
  5. General Dog Discussion
    This is something that I've been pondering on after being horrified to learn a few weeks back that my college aquaintence and her partner don't walk their dog. An aussie mix. At all. Maybe if they feel like it once a week or so but he doesn't get daily walks. My family dogs get a mile in the...

    My dog is a little over a year old, she was a rescue and was in bad shape when we got her. Her anxiety level is high, she's terrified of meeting new people but loves seeing and interacting with other dogs. Over the year, she's made leaps and bounds (thankfully a lot of it has been the help of...

    Hi There, I have a ~4 yr old Border Collie Great Pyrenees mix. We've had her a little over a year now. She has some fairly severe anxiety issues. Separation Anxiety, Containment Anxiety and Noise Phobia. We've been working with a behaviorist and vet to figure out meds and training. She has been...

    I have a long haired Chihuahua puppy named Koda and he received his first shot at 8 weeks like you're supposed to but he didn't receive his second until today at 14 weeks (late I know) and so far I've only walked him around the yard but I was wondering, now that he's had his second shot, in a...

    I am a full time dog walker with a shoulder injury, fun right! I am looking for shock absorbent leashes to replace the ones I currently use. Right now I have EZ Steps leashes by Bergan but they have been discontinued. These leashes are awesome because they do stretch but they also offer some...
  10. Dog Training and Behavior
    Hello, I've seen a lot of great things in this forum but now registered because I need some advice and/or tips for my dogs' behaviour. I hope you can help us. Since a few months we have a poodle puppy. But as she's growing up she starts to bark aggressively towards us. Since a while she also...
  11. Dog Training and Behavior
    As dogs owner I experienced that running with your dogs is a very positive activity because it improves the connection with your dog, it's healthy for both and it can be done with most of the breeds. There are not big issues to worry about this activity, but it's better to know some basic...
  12. General Dog Discussion
    So we always have people who have nasty or rude comments to make about out dog, what are you comments you have heard and how do you deal with them? Today for the first time ever I was walking my small 10 lb angel dog and this white trash trailer trash lady and her son passed by me and she hit...

    Hello, I have a 15week Dutch Shepherd that bites/barks on occasion when I'm walking her. We will be walking fine and then she looks up at me and starts barking uncontrollably and stops with several corrections. Sometimes she will take a nip at my calve without warning. She also barks and...
  14. Dog Training and Behavior
    Hi, I am new here and really hoping to get some help and practical advice for my situation. Here goes: I have a female dog, my friend has a male collie dog (both neutered). They get on great, so I am not so much worried about that side of things. Friend is having house issues and decided they...
  15. Dog Training and Behavior
    Around winter, I took care of my friend's dog for a week or so, and I noticed that the choke chain was completely useless against her. I would have to do a sustained pull with very hard force for her to even stop sniffing at something. Another friend who came on a walk with me commented that...
  16. Dog Training and Behavior
    So I have a six year old pekingese poodle mix, Timmy. We've had a lot of change in our lives in the last seven months. I separated from my ex and moved across the state. I left my eight year old pug with my ex. Timmy has always had issues with socialization, which many dogs also have. But now...

    Hi guys! A friend and I are currently working on a company idea, which would help make leaving your dog off-leash at parks and open areas a lot safer. However, before we can launch ourselves into production, we need to get a sense of the market and if there's truly a need for this. If you have...

    Hi, everyone. I have a question that's been bugging me ever since my encounter with this guy. How do I tell if my dog is getting enough exercise? Every day, we take our 7 month lab mix puppy for a 30 minute walk in the morning and a 45 minute walk in the evening. During one of those we'll...
  20. Dog Training and Behavior
    I have a 3 year old Akita, neutered male. A few weeks ago someone decided ( I kid you not ) because our dogs "looked like each other" that they would get along, so while my dog and I were sitting in a fairly small room, this gentleman brought his male wolf hybrid in with no warning and blocked...
