He is such a bigger dog and needs ...

I have a question about exploration breaks during walks.  I have been working on the Exercise/Discipline/Affection formula with my two rescue mixed breeds for two months now.  One dog has anxiety/dominance issues, the other has aggression issues.  While we've made progress on our walks, and they are much more enjoyable than before, I wonder about ...

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 live in Central PA, in the woods. There are no streetlights and 3/4 of the year it's a great area to hike and bike with my dog. However, today was the first day of Buck season and it's not safe to go outside if not in a moving vehicle (even then, sometimes not safe) and despite putting him in a flourescent orange vest, Obie *still* looks like a ...

Hi there! We have a new Bordernese puppy, Daisy, who we just picked up this past Tuesday.  She is 9 weeks old, and was the runt, but is very calm and sweet.  The only thing that I find odd is that she doesn't really have any interest in exploring her new home, and especially, won't walk on the linoleum in our kitchen!  She spends ...

Hello! I'm new to the community, and figured I'd make a post here about my little guy, Titus. He is a beautiful Irish Setter puppy at about 12 weeks old.  He is very loving and affectionate and loves people.  He's done so well over the last 3 weeks I have had him.  My main question about him is walking him.  How long is too ...

Hi, I just got a 10 week old Chihuahua mix. She is sweet and pretty well behaved so far. I do have one question. She hates to walk on the leash. I am following Cesar's  lead and just walking, but I can only go about 3-5 feet before I am afraid that I am choking her, because she just drags. So I walk a little, stop, walk a little, ...

I have taken notice as to how Cesar introduces one dog to another.  My dog has always been submissive to other dogs and I've never had a problem...until a few weeks ago.  We were walking (me, baby in stroller, and dog by my side) around a 1 mile circle at my mom's house.  One of her neighbors allow their two dogs to run loose.  ...

Hello everyone,   I'm new to the group. I have a five month old male beagle. I noticed yesterday for the first time, that his upper lips were bleeding when we came in from our walk. I realized that this is happening because on our walk, his nose is pressed to the pavement (powerful beagle sense of smell) and it just scuffed on the asphalt. This ...

Snoopy, One thing to do immediately is to ''stop'' when he starts to pull. When you have tension on a leash with dogs who pull, this encourages them to pull harder. I didn't see where you mentioned his breed, but I suspect the tighter the leash, the more the thinks he has to ''work''. I have found that a Pulling dog is a dog that isn't ''calm'' ...
