I have an almost 9 week old Samoyed puppy and she is a little terror. She won't stop biting litterly everyone and it's getting to be overwhelming. Ive tried every method I could find online and nothing helps if anything she starts biting more because she thinks I'm playing with her. It's driving me nuts and I don't know what to do, I cant even redirect her she just keeps going after my hands and feet. Any advice is welcomed because I don't know what to do.

I have an 8 year old Bichon who had surgery for IVDD a couple of years ago. We currently have steps for her to use when getting into our bed, however, they are steep and difficult for her to use. My bed is about 26" high. I'm looking for recommendations for a ramp (not steps) that isn't too steep for her to use. In the alternative, if you have a recommendation for steps that aren't steep, I'll take a look at those too. I just want her to be comfortable and watching her come down the steps puts so much pressure on her.

I have a 3 year old beagle mix and a 1 year old toddler. The beagle wants to play with the toddler, but hasn’t learned how to play toddler-level gentle yet. The toddler wants to play with the beagle, but also hasn’t learned gentle hands yet. I think it’s going to be *a while* before they understand each other. How old were your kids when you felt safe not being there 100% of the time to moderate their behavior? I’m thinking somewhere between 5-10 years old, but may be way off…

English setter pup, rips them to shreds within seriously 5 minutes.

Is this just how he is and always will be or is it a sign of something else? Boredom?

Even if he is dead tired he still finds the energy to mutilate any toy within his path..

We even bought ‘’really sturdy’’ or ‘’unbreakable’’ toys, no match for him tho..

Hi everyone!! I am here to beg and plead you to chip your dogs. I know it might seem like “he’s always with me! He wouldn’t run away!” But we don’t know what can happen.

I found a very cute six month old puppy quaking under a car. He as well groomed and had a collar. He clearly belonged to someone. I learned later that he was over an hour by car away from his home the same morning he went missing. I cannot think of another situation other than someone nefarious took him and maybe dumped him. People can be so mean. Many people were messaging me about this dog that I had to form a set of questions to prove ownership.

The owners came to a shelter so far out hoping desperately. It was a shock when they saw his picture. I am overjoyed to report that he has reunited with his owners.

To that end: please chip your dogs. I was so worried he’d never go home again. This ending is happy but I am sure many are not.

She has calm down a enough to let me touch her and how she on the couch. Oh and she eat is so much better.

Ik heb een ridgeback mix(reu, ongecastreerd), van 9 maanden, en wil heel graag spelen met elke hond die hij ziet. Dit uit hij door te grommen blaffen en springen. Of juist in een "af" lig te gaan liggen en piepen. Totdat de andere hond op hem af komt en dan ineens te sprinten. Moet ik mij zorgen maken? En hoe kan ik hem leren dit niet te doen. Ik gebruik nu een tuigje. Maar iemand zei dat een hoofd tuigje beter zou zijn. Iemand hiermee ervaring?

We've had several occasions where our dog "scoots" on our rug. Unless she does it while we're awake, we can't train her out of it, nor can we get the stains out, even with a rug cleaner.

I'd really like to try getting another rug, but not before getting some suggestions on how to stop the behavior. Any thoughts?

Which pet insurance is best for you? Are there any that may cover your dog's current treatment? Did your dog get injured during the waiting period and want to know if you're covered?

Here's the place to ask.

Do know we cannot help you here with medical concerns, and lying or not disclosing things to the insurance company is illegal so we don't allow that either.

Does your dog turn his head when he hears an odd noise? Does your dog bury their food with your pants? This is the thread to ask why.

Please keep this thread to non-medical issues only.
