    How often do you confront dog owners of unleashed dogs?

    @pauls1015 If the dog is under control (staying close to owner and listening) and then no harm no foul. If the person is struggling to keep their dog behaving then you can politely inform them that there is a leash law. Look into the state laws as well if in the USA as some states have leash...

    My buddy never relaxes on car rides

    @hazrus Have you spent time desensitizing him to the car? When it's not in motion spending some time in the car, first when it's off, then with it on. Start small- up to 5 minutes, then increase time. If he's comfortable with the car off and on without moving it may be balance concerns he has...

    He refuses to poop!?!?!?

    @lllgt Sounds like he's anxious. Animals are vulnerable when they squat so you could also work on building confidence- a safe space for them to go. You could also work on basic obedience training and building your relationship so your pup gains confidence in you and can trust you'll make sure...

    It’s it okay to walk my dog off leash if she has good recall?

    @carson4 Have her on leash inside the house? Have a long line for outside potty time. If it's the leash that's preventing her from pooping then she wears it inside just as much as outside. Feed her some of her favorite treats/food then run around and play inside on regular leash then pop a...

    My dog is potty trained but gets too distracted outside to go outside anymore and it's driving me nuts. Any advice welcome

    @foursail53 If the goal is to be a service animal I definitely reccomend getting in touch with a trainer- but for the issue you asked about: He signals he needs to go out. Let him out for 5-10 minutes if not productive they go in the crate for 5 minutes. Then out again for 5-10 minutes. Repeat...

    My dog is potty trained but gets too distracted outside to go outside anymore and it's driving me nuts. Any advice welcome

    @foursail53 You can start on the reactivity now. Look into getting them canine good citizen certified to have a good base for service work as it's a way to proof their behavior in public

    Can a dog be your friend?

    @outandabout Rescue dogs are a shot in the dark, you don't know their trauma or history. There are good dogs out there, if you're looking to rehome this guy and find a good fit for you I'd reccomend either finding a reputable breeder or a rescue that does foster homes. Foster homes allow the dog...

    2 questions: dental surgery, nail routine, etc

    @little_sparrow When you started did you spend some time in the hammock without nail trimming? To desensitize to it? If you want to keep using the hammock, spend some time with her in it everyday (5 seconds - 5 minutes) most days don't even have the clippers or dremel out, you want her...
