Well, I'm not sure if this is appropriate to this site, but I am in need of a good muzzle for my German Shepherd Dog. He is almost two years old and has anxiety issues and fear aggression. His obedience trainer/behaviorist and his vet suggested a muzzle, mostly for visits to the vet. He barks and lunges at people just trying to pass by on the ( Read more... )

I've had a fear-aggressive dog for almost 7 years now. I found him when he was about 4-5 months old; he was already extremely wary, but was never (and has never been) aggressive to me or anyone once he gets to know them and feels comfortable around them ( Read more... )

Hello all. I adopted a chi/terrier mix in January and  She is a great little dog. Her first few months she was very polite and inquisitive about new people, and all around well behaved. When we adopted her, the adoption place said she had been a little anxious about being left at home alone, but had gotten over it with time. the foster home she was ( Read more... )

1. Pee Problem - I have a small mix from the pound who is approx. 4 years old, and I have had him for about 4 or 5 months. When I first brought Knox home he was completely house trained. I lived in an apartment so I bought him a crate, and he was comfortable with it right away. Just within the last month or two he started peeing a little when he ( Read more... )

I posted before about my pit bull, Moose, who we've been working with her fear of strangers. It's been going very well. She even got spayed and didn't growl or bark at anyone in the busy vets office. Last night I brought her to my good friends house. She was fine and seemed relaxed until her roommate came home. I was busy talking and didn't hear ( Read more... )

Three years ago I rescued a gorgeous dog from the animal shelter. She's a mix between a labrador and something else (we're not sure) and is about 4 years old. With us, she's a darling. She loved cuddles, she tries her best to comfort us and keep us company and never displays any signs of aggression towards family members ( Read more... )

Hello. I'm extremely new here, and mainly it's because I feel like I need to exhaust every venue possible. I have a purebred dalmatian, who is about two and a half years old. In last few months, the dog (who was previously extremely playful and loving) has almost "turned"? He's since bitten two people, luckily close friends who have no desire to ( Read more... )

I have an almost two year old corgi/terrier mix dog. She has become increasingly fearful and anxious as she's gotten older, and she's started to demonstrate some mild reactivity, though I'm not entirely sure to WHAT yet; it's certain dogs and people, and I'm trying to discover a pattern. I suspect I am reinforcing this fearfulness/reactivity in ( Read more... )

Ok I know I have seen posts about this before, but I can't seem to find them right now, so my apologies if this has been covered before.
