We has a test today and although he's been a buggar all week he came through ... more >>

This evening there was a dog tied up in front of the market I go to and he started barking and lunging at people passing by including myself.

Eek! Moving again. I know how stressful it is on me, but my furry princess is even less of a fan.

So I recently got a boston/rat terrier mix she's great and absolutely adorable but we're having trouble potty training her. The majority of the day we're out working and she goes potty on her wee-wee pad that is in a set location in the living room. When we're home she goes potty all over the ... more >>

We've had Sprocket for just over 3 weeks now, we adopted him from the Hay River SPCA, and to our knowledge, his litter was well taken care of, always around other dogs (cats & ferrets), children and adults.

I recently downsized - instead of 2 dogs I know only have 1. I gave my Shepherd/Chow mix to a farm in the country so she could run, roam and do her own thing.

If anyone has any suggests on what I can do to improve this, it would be hugely appreciated!

My 2.5 yr old Golden is totally food motivated - I would like to change this behaviour but have no idea how to go about it. He has been like this since I got him at 8 wks. He will eat anything - digestible or not! I give him a tiny piece of a biscuit when he responds to commands like ... more >>

I bought a prong collar. Why? - Winter is coming and I can't risk the pup lunging after something while I'm on ice- He's not picking up that lunging after squirrels isn't an option in a rolled collar, or in a slip/choke. He'll pull to coughing in both.- I want something that acts similarly and ... more >>

Hi AllI need your opinions on something. By my own fault, the dog now thinks he is supposed to sleep on the bed... He can't actually jump up on the bed without help, and needs to be lifted. (hence, my fault) I'm thinking this whole sleeping in the bed habit has to go. But he whines if I don't ... more >>
