Happy New Year all!   I live in Northeast Ohio and right now it is cold and snowy.  My 10 pound dog named Chewy (yorkie/pekeneise mix)  hates this weather and for good reason.  He is a relatively high energy dog and now I am finding it difficult to release that energy.  We love to walk but in this weather it is not safe ...

I don't know how to help her. I would really like to, but I don't know where to start. Kady is 4 years old, and is so nervous/anxious/whatever. She makes constant circles. She never really stops. Not to eat, not to take a drink of water, nothing. I don't know what to do about all this pent up anxiety, or how to help her...any suggetions? I'm in ...

I would print this out and tell them exactly like you told us.  This dog needs to understand boundaries and they need to understand that this animal has issues that might not be there when they are in control.  Your post here is a perfect explanation.  No need to improve on perfect.  If the owners can't handle listening to ...

My parents got a new puppy the other day--spectacular timing with xmas and all, but whatever. I went over on xmas eve (I am usually there one afternoon a week), and Element, my year old GSD/Rott mix went into kill mode.  Not right away.  In fact, she was hiding in the corner to get away from the puppy, but in the interest in lack of ...

I have a 7 year old boxer named Tyson.  We got tyson when he was a little over a year from a man who bought him from a breeder and kept him in a crate throughout his entire puppy years. No exercise, no socialization, except for a Petsmart training course.  He is very obedient and well behaved.  But he has recently become ...

How do I deal with my 10wk puppies aggressiveness?  He only displays it when he gets over-excited or is in need of some excercise.  Example:  Late this afternoon I knew he needed to let out some energy especially since we were going to be leaving him by himself for a few hours this evening so my husband went to take him for a ...

I just just wanted to let you know how Dog Whispering has helped my 8 year-old Large Munsterlander. She had a lifetime history of anxiety, fear, and what I think is red-zone dog-dog aggression. She was a nervous wreck, always stressed, and a complete liability around other dogs, lunging and biting at every opportunity. She caused a timid ...

Somebody please help. I have two dogs I had my sister keep one while the other was recovering from knee surgery it has been a month they saw each other for the first time this weekend and the one that had the surgery acts like he wanted to kill him. It was also a holiday weekend so all of my family was there and he started being very aggressive to ...

The first thing to do, of course, is check with the vet, as you propose to do. But something you can do ALL the time is institute some rules, limitations, and boundaries. First, determine that NONE of the dogs, especially the BC, will be allowed on any of the furniture at any time for any reason until and unless this behavior ceases. Second, ...

This thread has given me a lot to think about. My 2-year-old German shepherd, Isis, is inconsistently growly with other dogs. I've been walking her every day for several weeks now, and realized that she doesn't bark at every dog, and in fact, we are able to pass dogs on leashes calmly if we're far enough away (across the street). Not even every ...
