My two puppies like to fight - growling and biting to the point they will squeal. The vet says it's OK but what I surmise from Cesar's teaching on TV and books is that this might not be so good. The Chihuahua/Maltese male is 5 months old and the female Cocker/Shih-tzu is 2 and a half months old. The younger female steals chew-toys and everything ...

I recently (about a month ago) took on a rescue dog.  She is a 2.5 y/o boxer who has had 3 homes.  She has had her leg broken and exhibits strong fear if not aggression towords men.  I walk her 2x a day for a mile or so.  At first she would just shake anytime someone even walked by us.  She would NOT let men anywhere near ...

Hello!  I'm having a problem with my puppy jumping up and biting at people/clothing when he's in his excercise pen.  I am at a loss at how to teach him to stop.  He's 12 weeks old and I've been trying to follow Cesar's methods with Calm/Assertive energy and excercise, discipline, affection.  Yesterday I got ''A Member of the ...

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 ...

We adopted a small dog, possibly a pure bred Shih Tzu but he was found on the street so they can't tell for sure. The Shih Tzu traits are dominate in looks at least. He is from the pound. He is well behaved other than play biting (you know, we he tries to 'catch' a hand that has a toy in it,). It’s not painful; more of a nip, but it ...

I'm new to this board.  I hope someone can help me.   I have a 9 month old Britney/Border Collie Mix which he has been with us for 2 months.  He is very smart b/c of the Britney & Border Collie in him.  His history is unknown only that we adopted him from a shelter which got him from a pound.  We think he had a rough early life b/c of his ...

I recently got a Boxer Puppy. Her Name is Sadie, and she is almost 3 months old, she nips and bites while playing and i don't know what to do, i don't want her to become an agressive dog when she gets older, i tried saying NO! i tried giving her toys and bones instead, i even tried a light tap on her nose ( but i think that just encourages more ...

Please help -- our 9-month-old lab has started showing signs of aggression towards me, but does not display the same behavior to my husband. When he is home, we do not have any issues, but as soon as Dad is not around, our kiddo is biting, jumping-on, and barking at me. I have tried several techniques from our PetCo puppy class trainer, as well as ...
