Sparky my 9 week old boxer pup, gets a little more rough with my 6 year old, then any of my other kids. Dom, (6) plays more roughly with him then my other two. I just need some advice on how to handle both of them. Sparks, barks at dom like he is gonna "get him". I tell Dom to get away and...

Hi, I am the very happy "owner" (I think she owns us!) of the cutest of all PBGVs!!! We adopted her a year ago and haven't got a moment of deception with her. Like you I wanted a PBGV for a long time but our previous dog, a standard poodle, didn't like other dogs so we had to wait....

I have a dog named Bella, I'm not sure what breed she is, I originally thought maybe pit/shepard, but she's alot smaller than those breeds. ( she's about 11 months old) She gets along great with my other two dogs until they start playing, particularly my border collie. If I go out there &...

[quote user="ron2"] I'm afraid we'll need a sound recording. Dogs have different barks for different things. And an individual dog can develop a slightly different vocabulary from other dogs. It's kind of hard to tell from your description whether it was a warning bark (I'm...

I just started college two weeks ago and I dorm. Right now Tyson's enrolled in obedience school on Saturdays so I come home on weekends so I can go to class with him. While I'm on campus my younger sisters take care of him. Last Sunday he had a really tough time sleeping after I left. I wasn't...

About 2.5months ago, we decided to go back to crating our dogs (2 chihuahuas, a 5y-o & 4y-o). They're crated when we're not available to supervise them. It went surprisingly well. I really thought we would have problems initially, but they took to it immediately. It really settled their behavior...

I have a 9mo puppy, Sasha, who we think is possibly a whippet mix, with possibly some terrier in there somewhere. We've had her and a Chihuahua mix (same age) since they were about 16wks old. The problem we've started having with Sasha is that she barks and growls at everything. She doesn't...

Hey!! I'm new here and am having a really tough time with my oversized pom/chi Max. We got him about 3 mo ago from a sweet couple in our area. We knew a very small amount about his problems from the former owners- but it was not explained as it should have been. First of all, Max is my baby, has...

Thanks all. Makes sense that her father would be a shepherd mix since she looks very much like a shepherd, except for the thin sometimes curly tail, the thin legs and the hind legs def. do not look like shepherds' legs. I did not do obedience classes yet. I did teach her to sit, down, stay, speak...
