  • Need some help with dog on dog aggression

    Dog belgian malinois x apbt is super dog aggressive i’ve worked on it enough to where if we’re just walking past a dog he can manage that. But whenever he’s just standing near another dog for longer than 3-5 seconds he starts growling and then tries to bite. It doesn’t seem to be out of fear as he’ll smell the dog and seem happy just once another dog tries to get a look at him he gets aggressive or sometimes even the sight of another dog will make him aggressive this is a problem because i’m going to buy a new belgian malinois puppy soon and i wanna be able to have both of them play with my family’s pets but it’s not seeming like i’ll be able to do that with him around any suggestions?

  • Convince me to get a dog!

    I’m considering getting a puppy (mini dachshund) in the spring, but I’m struggling to commit that last 10%. I’ve never had a dog, I’ve always been a cat person. So I’m scared, and wondering if it’s worth it, with all the required work they take. But I’d love that intense companionship.

    Help put the final nail in the coffin! I need it!

  • Winter Boot help for tiny pup.

    Every size is too big.

    This is the second pair of winter boots I’ve bought for my 3.2 pound Chihuahua. They’re HUGE! I ordered the absolute smallest size “itty bitty” Muttluks fleece lined boots.

    It’s already 10 degrees where I live with snow and I desperately need something to put on Cecily’s paws so she can run around in the snow and salted roads.

  • Early Morning Hunger Pukes

    Hello! Looking for some advice, tips, and tricks in regards to the morning hunger pukes for our Cavapoo. Yes, I have taken Theo to the vet and the vet says that he’s medically fine/healthy and just needs a small snack/meal before bedtime.

    Theo wakes up around 6am and goes to bed around 10pm; his meals are normally around 7am, 1230pm, and then 5pm. He doesn’t normally have hunger pukes in the morning but he had it once when he was 9-10 weeks old and then he’s had it 3 mornings this past week and he is 16 weeks old now. I feel he’s digesting and metabolizing his food faster because he’s going through a period of growth. He’s currently on Purina One puppy formula and has ¼ cup per meal (trying to keep him lean). He has a green pea and a cucumber slice with his meals as well. Throughout the day/evening sporadically he will have either blueberries, frozen carrot, apple slice, fruitable cookie (pumpkin and cranberry flavor), beef liver, or sweet potato treat. Before bed time I give him a little bit of kibble in his XS kong and a Bocce’s nighttime biscuit (I was initially just giving him the nighttime biscuit and only started giving him the kibble when he started having morning hunger pukes).

    Looking for a better bedtime snack that will last longer in his stomach. Need ideas of easily digestible high protein or carb that won’t cause him to be overweight. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

  • My 11 week old puppy is not a fan of food

    Help! I don’t know how to get my 11 week old puppy to eat. He seems completely disinterested in any food I give him. I’ve been feeding him the same kibble the breeder fed him and have tried everything – toppers, mixing with water and/or wet food. Different bowls. We’ve even spoon fed him – which is what works the best. I’ve tired using different bowls, plates, etc. The vet says he’s healthy but doesn’t have much fat on him. He’s super energetic and is consistently gaining weight and goes to the bathroom regularly. Any advice would be really appreciated.

  • How long without accident in the daytime?

    My 5 month old saluki is doing great with potty training, so I’m not looking for advice, I’m just curious.

    How long can 4-5 month old puppies hold their pee in the daytime? My girl sleeps for 8-10 hours a night with no accidents, and I usually take her out every 3-4 hours in the daytime. She can stay home alone (not crated) for 4 hours without accident.

    Eventually, she will have to stay home alone for 7 -8 hours, so I wonder whether it’s stupid that I always take her out every 4 hours? Should I wait until she signals?

    What is normal for puppies that age?

  • 3 month old puppy, so clingy

    Hi, I just brought a puppy home 4 days ago, he is my first dog ever so I am very new to this. He is so clingy. I know he's a baby so he's probably scared of things, but he whines anytime I'm not directly in sight or near him. I was trying to get him to like his playpen but even when I sit right next to him outside playpen and him inside the playpen, he demands to be let out. He will climb the playpen sometimes, which is insane for a small puppy. (I am getting an acrylic playpen so that he cannot climb it anymore).

    I don't know how to train him to self soothe on his own. I haven't even left the house yet, he will whine if I'm just in another room and not in his sight. He also won't eat or drink if I'm not completely still and in his sight. He's not very food motivated to be honest. Also he is biting so much. He used to not bite when I brought him home but now it's every second. Any tips?
