hi, ive recently just got a Labrador and she's 6 weeks old. I'm really struggling with the crate training cause all she does is cry when i put her in at night in her cage. I put all the toys inside but she wont stay. And even her toilet breaks cause shes only gotten one vaccination, so we can't take her outside I'm really trying, and i need help

This might be a weird question, but what do you talk about when strangers are saying hi to your dog?

I’ve never owned a puppy until now, but a lot of times people will be happy to greet my girl, then the conversation will start to get very personal and shift towards me. Asking where I’m from, what I do for work, etc.

We just rescued a 9 month old puppy. She’s perfect but has bad separation anxiety. She is kind of crate trained. She will go in the crate during the day to lay down and at night will sleep in the crate fine (she did bark and howl the first few nights but she doesn’t anymore).

However, if we leave during the day and put her in the crate she goes crazy and will bark and whine the whole time we are away and will destroy anything we put in the crate with her.

Anyone have any tips on what we can do to help her deal with being left alone?

No dog is bad, obviously but I was thinking of the two dog breeds that the average person or even me with twenty years experience professionally couldn’t or would be very hard to handle.

My thought is Belgian Malinois X Chow. The aloofness of the chow mixed with the drive of a Belgian seems like the perfect nightmare

Hey everyone! I got a message on TikTok from someone called BeoPaw, but it sounds like a scam. Just wanted to check if anyone else has gotten a message from them? Their username is @Beopaw.m4

I have an 8 month old corgi that I love dearly but we are not 100% on potty training yet. he doesn’t really ever have accidents inside anymore, but we have left him a potty pad by the back door in case of emergencies. the problem is, he keeps using the potty pad most of the time! we take him outside every few hours, he will pee a few times–usually small spurts–then after 15 minutes we come inside and pee again on the pad! and he has not pooped outside in such a long time. I’ve tried:

• ⁠asking him to poo while outside • ⁠feeding him breakfast BEFORE going outside because I know he usually goes right after eating • ⁠staying outside longer • ⁠waiting until he goes to the pad and interrupting him to take him outside only to get distracted running around and having fun chasing all the squirrels and plants around. • ⁠removing the pad altogether, but he just goes on the floor where the pad was.

just now we were outside for 20 minutes, only peed a few times, came back inside, tried to go on the pad. I interrupted him and took him outside only to have him run around and eat leaves. came back inside and within TEN SECONDS he’s pooping on the pad. I’m at my wits end on how to get him to go ONLY outside and not see the potty pad as the primary spot. please help!

i am on vacation and i have a dog sitter who comes to my house 2x a day. the sitter noticed my yorkie hasn't eaten in 2 days! i suspect that she is stressed we left and is anxious, but how do i get her to eat???
