We brought our dog (1 year old Australian heeler) home on April 28 and it's been 3 months now and they are still not used to each other. My cat is NOT afraid of the dog but my dog always gets so excited to see the cat that he just yelps and whines at him. When they get too close to each other the...

Information on dog: Parson Russel Terrier, 19 lbs, adopted 5 years ago, possibly in puppy mill and/or abused, female, scared of thunderstorms/loud noises. Goes through spells where she hates outside. Sleeps under the bed most of the time because any false movements when I sleep startles her. Scared of...

Hi guys, In 2006, we bought 2 black Labrador retrievers from the same litter. On June 13th of this year, We lost one of them to some form of anemia. Our surviving dog, Riley.. has not coped well to our newest addition, a 9 week-old yellow lab, Henry. Whenever she is in the room with him she either tries...

A few months ago my husband and I argued and after I left the house, we're not proud to say, he threw something across the room that made a big clamor and our 3 year old Toy Yorkie, Bear, was so scared he lost control of his bowels. We both feel awful about this, especially now since every time my...

I have a 2.5 yr old female German Shepherd named Lulu. We decided on this breed because of the intelligence and social skills around kids. My wife was a little hesitant as she thought all GSD were mean, but after a short time she realized what a great dog the GSD was. Our problem is one that is potentially...

Ollie is my 8 yr old mix shepard/boxer/lab. Very quite dog, timid and gentle. His best friend died last year. A few weeks ago we brought home two lhasa apso puppies both males. Now Ollie will not settle down in the house unless they are in a cage. He paces, wines and barks to go back outside. We live...

First, let me say, that for as many specific fears that Sierra has gotten over...new ones appear. Will this keep happening her whole life? For example, she used to be afraid to push her food bowl around (if it made a noise) or go under a table or a chair to retrieve a toy or bone. Neither are a problem...

Newbee to the site!! I have a 3 year old schnoodle that hides under the couch during the day and seems very tired consistently. He seems to express anxiety even after daily outings and 45 min walks. I would love to see him wag his tail a bit more often but just does not seem to adapt. We have recently...

Well, been doing a lot of thinking and observing on this topic, and for now, I think the right thing to do is keep it just Zac and I. (watch the Universe sneek up behind me again....) 2 weeks ago we had to make a trip to the vets for an abscessed tooth. No biggie, antibiotics. The biggie part was is...

I posted a few times here about my dog Tesla (a dachshund). I adopted her about a year ago from a neighbor who was kicking her and screaming at her. She was a very fearful dog. From the beginning, I tried to follow Cesar's Way. I watched the show all the time and read the book. We were careful not...
