Regardless of what you use on each animal, it sounds as though your home is infested as well. It's important to make certain that you not only care for the animals, but rid your house of them as well. Most likely fogging is going to be necessary. You might consider investing in a ''yard'' treatment as well, just to get them under control. Then ...

From your post, it sounds as if when she is playing you are not interacting with her? Is that correct? You have a great opportunity to integrate her love for her toys with obedience. Give her ''scheduled'' playtime with you, and remember nothing in life is free. Make her work for each and every toy,and while this may not be fun in your mind, it's ...

Sugarcake, Welcome to the forums. Hopefully you will find alot of advice and opinions here, some or all helping you to find a solution for what is right with your pet. Remember first, that puppies are still learning and need alot of guidance. Make certain that your expectations of the puppy are not the same ast the two 6 year old chihuahua's on ...

Lorina, Multiple dogs are a challenge when burning up energy. I found that by allowing my higher energy dogs a bit of ''playtime'' BEFORE a walk, helps balance the energy ON the walk a bit more. Don't be afraid to ''shuffle'' up your routine to find a way that works for you AND them. It's a fun challenge, for sure.

Karl, What is the dog's disposition AFTER the walk. And before th walk, what previous exercise has the dog received. If Marley is waiting all day for his one hour, then his anxiety to ''go out'' is building up to an unwanted behavior. Labs LOVE outdoors, and depending on where he is the 10 hours prior could be what is causing this ...

In your situation I would not allow any dominance over another. Try using the leash as a form of leadership. Leash the aggressor to allow for quick, accurate and properly timed corrections. This will reinforce your leadership and establish the rules/boundaries with her. I'd step in and not allow ANY internal correcting if it's getting out of ...

Jack Russell & Rat Terriers are the number one breed we get calls on to rehabilitate for nipping at children. 90% of the time it's excess energy that is causing this behavior.  Your issues are on several levels, stemming from respect for your leadership, too much energy, and fear aggression. These, in my opinion, need a professional to ...

Nilsa, WALK HER...until she's tired! Your dog will most likely need a morning and an evening walk...with some playtime right before bed time. Energy burning attention will help this unwanted behavior. Her chewing is out of boredom and anxiety. Exercise is the key to that. If walking her in the morning is a problem, consider a treadmill, but don't ...

When I have a dog showing excited energy on a leash, I immediately get them to a seated or down position. This gives you, the handler an element of control back. Blocking his view to calm him down is good, but you don't want to ''avoid'' him meeting / seeing other dogs. I recommend you start with one step at a time. Get him to sit calmly when ...

Is your dog pulling when the tail is in this position? Are you struggling with the walk in any way? Is the dog by your side or in front? I have three dogs, all different energy levels. One dog settles into the walk immediately. The other dog has an injured leg, recovering, and tends to work her way up into the walk. And then there's the ...
