    6mo Pomsky(Mostly Husky) play bites with 4yr Pomsky(mostly Pom)

    Hi! I’m having some trouble. I have a 7 month old Pomsky, and she’s a biggg girl. She’s mostly husky. I also have a 4 year old Pomsky, and he’s super small(only about 7 pounds) because he’s mostly pomeranian. When they’re both playing, the 7-month-old will play full bite the 4 yr old, and end up...

    13 w/o puppy getting increasingly fussy in crate, but can’t have bedding or soft toys inside or she will pee on them

    EDIT: turns out this really was just a “ride it out” situation. My puppy is now nearly six months old and hasn’t had any problem being in her crate for the last couple of months. The first few weeks of puppyhood are really hard and it’s hard to see that things will get better, but it really...

    Herm Sprengrr 3.0 short or regular link?

    Pros and cons? My 70ish pound GSD has out grown his 2.25 weight wise. He responds well on the 2.25. I had a 3.2 handy but noticed he doesn’t respond as well on it. I’m looking at the 3.0 gauge but saw they have a 3.0 short link that’s supposed to be similar to the 2.25 because it has more prongs...

    Hi guys, would like some advice on my current situation. I am introducing my 9 week old Samoyed puppy to my 9 month old German Shepherd puppy. Though I am reasonably experienced with owning a dog (2nd German Shepherd) I have never had any experience with introducing a new dog to the same...

    Family from out of town is bringing their dog and my dog got attacked by the same breed they have. What should I do?

    A little background about my dog. I adopted my dog “E” (not her actually name lol) about 1 year ago from the shelter and she is very traumatized from her past. The employee told me they found her on the streets and that she is very sweet. I sat with her in the waiting room and she immediately...

    6 m/o biting nonstop, not aggressive

    We have a 6 month old rescue pup- possibly shepherd/husky??? Not really sure on the breed. She is VERY mouthy. She bites our hands when playing with toys with her. She bites the kids (8 and 6y/o) clothing and yanks them around. She bites their hands/legs. I don’t see any ‘aggression’- she...

    Disheartened

    Long story short, my Aussie x Border Collie pup is extremely leash reactive. She has her good days and bad, although tonight really seemed to be a “bad” day. My pup, Mabel got into pulling and lunging around the six month mark, where all of our training seemed to go out the window. From a...

    Will my rescue dachshund ever get used to small children?

    Hi all, we adopted a 6 year old dachshund (N) a year ago and he came to us because he struggled with kids. His previous owners had a young son (around 3 years old) and N would get so anxious/excited around the child that he would grab the child's clothes (the ones he was wearing), lock his jaw...

    Daycare owner implied that I’m mistreating my puppy

    Context: I have a 13 week old, 20 lb GSD/Husky puppy whom I love dearly. Since I know he’s going to be 60 lb or so grown up (half my bodyweight,) I’ve spent literally thousands of dollars and countless hours socializing, training, and taking him around the city since he was 8 weeks old. We do...

    House Breaking Regression

    Hi! We got our puppy back in August, right before I started student teaching. After I graduated in mid December, I took a month and a half off before finding a job so that I could house break our puppy. It went so well, he was fully house broken by the second week of February and I felt super...

    Training a 2 y/o dog

    Hey guys, I need help. 2 years ago, I rescued a male Indian pariah. I had no experience being a dog parent, so I hardly trained him. Except for stuff like sitting and pooping. He has massive separation anxiety, constantly whines when left alone (even after massively tiring him out). This is...

    Don’t know if euthanasia is the option here

    I have a 12 year old husky, I’ve had him since he was 9 months old. We took him to training and he listened for the most part in his early years. Fast forward I went off to college for 4 years and my parents had him. My parents let him do whatever he wanted. After college, I brought him to my...

    New 9 week old Aussie pump and 1 yo dachshund aren’t getting along

    My wife and I decided to get a new dog in the spur of the moment and brought home an 8 week Australian shepherd (both dogs are female). When introducing them to each other, our dachshund didn’t seem to like the idea of another dog in our house while the Aussie just wanted to play. They sniffed...

    Help me recalibrate my brain: what are R+ actions/thoughts I should use where classic P+ responses are ingrained?

    A follow-up to my other thread about introducing our new 11-month old pit bull rescue to cats, more generally I am concerned about developing a consistent training methodology. For the dogs I grew up with in my parents' house, where none of us had any knowledge whatsoever about training, there...
