Have a ram 1500 and looking to get a floor hammock (seats up). Right now leaning towards RuffLiners because they have the door panels included which id also need. Thanks!

We have 2 small dogs, one has been with us for 2.5 years and the other we adopted a few days ago. they play together a lot but the older one will sometimes correct the younger one or just want some alone time. Her safe space is our bedroom while the younger one loves to rest in the living room – is this how I should leave them when I can’t stay with them? I feel bad about closing my older dog in the bedroom, but she likes to often stay there with the door closed, even before we adopted the new one. However we never did that when we left the house, previously she could roam free. Would appreciate any idea or advice!

I have a fully trained ADA-compliant service dog that is 4 years old – we will be traveling to Germany this summer for an event, where, during our time there, he will be treated as a pet since we are not ADI certified. This does not carry over to airlines, so we will be flying together in the cabin there and back.

My question: how are we able to travel to multiple EU countries (Germany, France, Italy, and surrounding countries)?

We will have our ISO microchip with a rabies vaccination afterwards, USDA endorsed health certificate, and our rabies certificate and CDC import form for return.

I have heard of EU pet passports? I will be reaching out to somebody familiar with international dog travel (dog sports). If we plan on taking trains to other countries, I've heard larger dogs are often allowed, but sometimes may need to be muzzled.

Any guidance, personal experience, or references would be helpful as we discuss what is best for us!

Hi guys, I recently got an 8 week old golden retriever puppy and whenever we try to go to sleep she panics. I’ve tried both in the kennel and in the bed with me and she constantly cries and seems antsy. Can anyone give me some advice? I feel like I’m doing something wrong but I just want nothing but the best for my dog!

I'm sure you guys must get questions like this all the time, but I feel like I've tried everything. I have a 14 week old terrier puppy, and he bites me almost non-stop any time I interact with him. This means on walks he attacks my legs and shoes. He bites my hands when I put his harness on him. He bites my hands and arms even when I try to redirect him to toys. He is ONLY like this with me, not my husband. He bites hard and has drawn blood multiple times.

No noise I make deters him. Walking away does not deter him– in fact he bites my feet and ankles the entire time I leave. Distracting him with treats only stops him for a moment, and I worry it rewards him for biting. He does it immediately after waking up from naps too, so it's not that he's tired. If I crate him for a time out, he goes right back to it when I let him out. He listens to commands (sit, come, stay) just as well for me as for my husband, so I don't think it's an issue of authority. I understand I must have accidentally taught him this is a fun game we can play, but I'm sick of it.

How can I show him quickly that this is not a game and isn't fun?

EDIT: I forgot to add that I also have a lot of trouble getting him to let go once he bites down! This makes most strategies pretty hard to implement. Any tips on how to get him to let go?

So my puppy is now 9 months old and because I take her to the dog park often she has gotten really good with not being as skittish around dogs but humans are a problem. She doesn't trust anyone but me. I live with my dad and she doesn't even trust him. If my sisters and their families come to visit she has to be next to me or on me the whole time or she will freak out. And if we pass a stranger on walks she will go on the other side of me to get as far away from that as possible. Like tonight on our walk, there was a family on the other side of the street and even that freaked her out. I don't want her to spend her life only feeling like she can only trust me and I know eventually something will come up and I'll have to leave her with someone and I need to know she'd be okay with that. How do I socialize her with humans and get her to trust them?
