It will be 2 weeks on Sunday that I adopted a Yorkshire Terrier and is 7 months old now. He was owner surrendered with his brother and was told there was sibling rivalry. He has done great at my house and been really sweet. I brought him to my mom's yesterday and got along great with her older terrior mix. Today my puppy and I went a couple places then back to my mom's house. He growled and started to attack her terrior on 2 occasions. He sounded horrible and showed his teeth – although once involved food but not sure what happened the first time unless he was guarding me. Since we got home he has been sleeping and was clearly probably extremely tired but concerned he may have aggression problems. We were shocked at his behavior because he had been fine and seemed to like her dog. I have never had a dog with aggression issues and don't know what to do.

I have a 8 month puppy – Chihuahua-Small Poodle mix. She eats randomly at random hours. Sometimes she starts eating lunch at 11am and then finishes it by 5pm. 7 pm is usually when I serve her dinner and she skips that because she just fished her pending lunch. I usually feed her consistently on time but she never eats her portion in one go and she keeps eating all day little by little. She is 10lb and we have been feeding her 1/2 cup of Hills puppy kibble along with different toppers like Dried chicken, meat etc. Any idea what I can do to regulate her eating?

Hi all, I adopted an 8 week old sheltie puppy last week, and I am in the trenches and fully considering giving her back to the breeder.

In the beginning, potty training was going pretty well, getting some good naps in, even the overnights were okay. Since then, it’s all gotten worse.

She developed an ear infection 3 days ago and is being treated, but she is miserable and I am miserable as well. She shrieks all night long, has lost all progress potty training; to the point that she cannot leave her playpen now, and has an incredibly hard time resting at all. I am taking her back to the vet tomorrow but I feel so lost and depressed. I think I’ve only slept 6 hours in the last 3 days with her. I have no idea what to do if we can’t get her healed quickly, I feel terrible.
