For anyone hosting parties, what do you plan to do with your dogs? Are they participating? How do you manage behavior problems like jumping on people or relentlessly begging?

We have 3 with 3 different personalities so we’re debating who goes in a crate for the night and who needs to keep a leash on. maybe we will have a dedicated dog room.

he wont eat any type of dog food i get him, and if he does eat it its because hes super hungry. i dont want him to live that way!! help! what food have yall had success with?

I recently posted about my border collie having a negative experience on a walk and hearing fireworks which has affected him negatively fast forward a month and he's shown some improvement with calm and understanding walks but he still randomly freezes and cowers at random times on walks which I can't see any triggers. Sometimes he'll freeze immediately after jumping out the car, other times we can be walking for ten minutes and he'll stop freeze and not want to walk in the direction I'm going in but there is nothing there to spook him.

I can't put my finger on what is scaring him. Is I'm concerned his behaviour will only get worse.

I recently bought the Canada pooch suspenders and I believe the boots are very like the right size for my dog, but they do seem short on his legs (they aren’t the short version). Despite fully adjusted to longest length, this also creates what I think is added pressure across the back.

But maybe even moreso, the connection between front and back also seems very short and the back suspenders really seem to want to pull forward. It feels like it would overall impact his ability to extend and his gait.

Anyone using these or another form of dog gaiters?

Here are some photos of them on my dog, adjusted to what I believe is the “longest” fit

this is kinda a silly question but i really just don’t know the answer. we’re getting a 10 week old dog soon and might want to change her name. i’m sure she’ll learn her new one just fine but im still curious

Hey everyone! I’m hoping to get some advice about my 2-year-old Pomsky, Simba. He’s full of energy and very loved, but he has a habit that I don’t fully understand.

Simba paces constantly, running room to room throughout the day—even though he gets 3 walks a day, at least an hour each, and has plenty of toys. He eats, drinks, and goes to the bathroom normally. He’s been doing this since we got him at 6 weeks old, and it’s never been related to bathroom needs—he’ll whine if he actually needs to go.

Even when everyone is home, he’ll pace non-stop. Sometimes, if I’m home alone, he will rest and calm down a bit. But most of the time, he seems anxious and can’t settle, and we’ve never left him home alone because of it.

I’ve tried ignoring it, but it doesn’t stop. Has anyone experienced this with their dogs? Any tips or advice on how to help him feel calmer would be amazing! ❤️

Our SUV has two captains chairs in the 2nd row, which are usually occupied by our kids. Are there any 3rd row seat extenders, or would any seat extender work if the dimensions fit. It would be great if there was one with an opening between the captains seats for our dog to get into the 3rd row area.

We got a puppy earlier this year; he is roughly 9 months. We are the third owners so I don't know his exact age.

Anyway, he never barks but we would like him to. We live on a farm just outside of town, and it would be great if he alerted us when someone was in the driveway. Additionally, crime is up in our area, and it would be fantastic if he barked at intruders. We don't want him to be vicious, just enough to let us know someone is there and to let potential intruders know we are aware they are there.

We've had him for 4 months. The only time he barks is at our gator tires. And once at a snake.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but most posts are trying to get dogs to STOP barking, but I'd like to teach my dog to START barking.

Hi! We have a 5 year old smaller mixed dog. He is a rescue, but the entire time we’ve had him he has been EXCELLENT about his potty training. Never once have we had an issue

Fast forward to about 2 weeks ago, the poor guy got really sick. We took him to the vet, the ER, and basically they just said he had a bad stomach bug. He did poop in the house, puke in the house, but all while we were sleeping. He doesn’t really have cues for needing to go to the bathroom. We cleaned the absolute shit out of those areas.

Now, present day, the dude is healthy, totally back with energy and feeling great. Except this morning we stepped in a giant pile of poop. Healthy poop. Wtf poop.

What do we do? I don’t want this to become a habit – him pooping in the middle of the night. He goes on frequent long walks, so this is all surprising behavior.

Help!
