I’ve tried to post twice in here and don’t see my post?

So i have two dogs, one who is a little angel and doesn't get into trouble while im at work and the other that all he does is get into trouble. We have crated him (he destroyed it), he's on trazodone when im gone now but he still does some stuff. I want the angel dog to still have free access in the house and out to the yard but the other one I would prefer to keep outside. Any ideas of what I could do, that hopefully aren't expensive. We have a backporch, I was thinking we could do like a gate or something? For context the trouble dog is 2yrs old and 90lbs, he also prefers outside

Which age range do you prefer when acquiring a new dog? Although I've raised three puppies, I've always preferred adult dogs despite the fact that nearly all of the adults I've had came to me with significant behavior problems that also required a lot of work initially. Puppies are cute but not really for me.

Recently we moved from an apartment to a house with a backyard and it’s nice to see him finally be able to run around. However there is a shed in the backyard and squirrels were staying in there before we moved in, my dog noticed pretty quickly that there are squirrels in there. So now every time we are outside he runs straight to the shed, and sits until I open the door.

I wanted the squirrels out of there anyway and figured if I let him go in there they would vacate. Well I was right, the squirrels left but for some reason my dog still thinks they are in there. I have been letting him go in there a lot so he can realize nothing is in there, but when I do all he does is whine and jump on the walls like something is in there.

What on earth can I do to get him to realize nothing is in there? I really would like to play with him because whenever I am inside and he is outside, he’ll run around for a bit, and then lay down. I’ll then try to go outside and play with him, but every time he’ll run to the shed and just sit there. I tried running around to get him riled up and i’ll try to throw the ball, and he will completely ignore me.

TDLR; My 7 year old dog completely ignores me when i’m outside. He is a pointer/ beagle btw.

Hello everyone, hope you and your pups are doing well.

So I am epileptic and had a grand mal. My husband came in to take care of me. He was doing the usual, put his hand under my head etc. Well our two dogs came running in from the sound and how my husband went power walking to me.

One of my dogs tried to smell me and the other dog lost it. Bit him and held down around his ear. Husband separated them. He said the one had a solid grip. No broken skin, still taking him to the vet.

These pups have lived together for 3 years with us in the same house. They share a bed, give each other baths, play with each other. No form of aggression ever. They never really see this happening to me though. Also I'm their primary caretaker.

My question is how seriously should I be taking the bite? We believe it was the stress of the situation. We have them separated ATM.
