Me and my husband just got Cabela last week from a shelter. She is a great dog but she gets scared quite quickly. This has resulted in her running away, twice and not wanting to interact very often. Everything I read has me addressing this by giving her treats or using commands like stay; unfortunately Cabela is not that intrested in treats and ...

Hello, I am so excited about this program and learning as much as I can.  I now watch Cesar on my tv and tape every episode and I am almost done reading one of his books.  I have a dog Echo, who is a mixed breed.  Shih tzu and maltese.  I purchased him from another person who wanted to use him as a breeder dog and she just said that he wasn't ...

My 14 month old sheltipoo is scared of a lot of things. Not everything like some dogs are but noisy things. So far I've figured out he is scared of:  - Snow plows - Emergency vehicle sirens  - The ice cream truck music  - People  These are the main 3 things that I have to be careful of when I take Bear to the park. ...

I have a 4.5 pound Maltese named Bella that has always been afraid of other dogs since we got her at 3 months.  Once she received all of her shots, we enrolled in a puppy training class.   At the time, she was only 2 pounds.  Her demeanor around people has always been good.  She is a rather calm dog most of the time, but ...

Amy..   I have a very fearful Wirehair, I had tried the counter conditioning my behaviorist DVM had prescribed. She was so solidly locked in fear she wouldn't take the treat either. This has lessened in time with walking over and over now. It took a lot of time, but we have  managed improvement. Would this puppy be interested in ...

Hope someone can help us! We have a 5 mo old Shepard/Border collie mix from a shelter. (She was there about three days). She's generally sweet, smart and interested in everything but in the last month has developed from a fearless take her on a walk into town puppy to one who cowers and tries to run at the sound of cars..whether they are moving or ...

I'm not sure but I think I might have hit a wall and I need some advice. Navaeh has come a long way shes running, playing, and going for walks now, its great but I noticed when we go into the back yard she is real hesitant to leave my side, thats when my other pit kayda comes in and when she goes wondering around the yard exploring Navaeh will ...

It all started about 3 days ago my wife agreed to watch a puppy over night for a friend. In some amazing act of God the dog got out somehow and ran off. The next morning we called the local shelter and she was there. After work my wife ventured out to pick the dog up from the shelter and return it to her owner. While at the shelter picking up the ...

Its been two months since Ive adopted my rescue animal.  He is very, very scared of EVERYTHING.  He's getting better every day, except in one area.  He submissively pees from his crate whenever I approach to walk him!  Not just a few drops of submissive peeing but full on bladder release.  The first week I got him, he held ...

  I honestly thought I was a good dog owner.  Everybody says that Cayenne, my 11 year old chow/Shepard/lab rescue, is just the ''best'' dog.  She was picked up in the desert at approximately 6 month's old running with a wild dog pack.  She has been incarcerated at rural no-kill shelter for about 3 months before my husband ...
