As the title says he is sniffing for it like crazy. What does this mean?

We did crate training with our puppy and did Susan Garrett’s methods to get him comfortable with being in the crate. He settles nicely in his crate without whining or barking, and normally just sleeps. He’s been in his crate for up to 6 hours with no incidents. However, he doesn’t love his crate like many dogs seem to. He does not go in unprompted, and needs a guiding hand to enter (sometimes will go with a tossed treat, but understands he’ll be going in the crate and will try to skedaddle). I occasionally try to do crate work with him but focus on other stuff since he’s able to sleep and settle once he’s in his crate. Is this situation OK or should I continue to try to make the crate fun and a place he loves? He’s a 10mo old boxer

My dog is kennel trained, and stays in the kennel, which is more than big enough for him, while I am at work, and has for the last 6 years, but in the last few months, he’s been tearing at his kennel and it’s causing the metal to bend and break in some areas (kennel was in decent shape before). We have no idea what could have happened to cause this change, but we’re open to any advice on what we can do about it.

My dog is almost 2 years old and he’s been like this since he was 3 months. He doesn’t play with his toys, eat his kibble, move around the house or pretty much do anything when I’m around him. I have a camera installed in my home and whenever I’m not home I watch him on camera he’s very active.. what gives? Honestly I don’t understand why he tends to just lay down all day when I’m home. Makes me feel like he can’t be himself around me. Thinking about rehoming him since it’s that bad and he can’t just be himself when I’m around. He’s actually has not eaten since Saturday because I’ve been home everyday in the same room as him. Which is crazy

im moving from Canada QC to mexico, i called some airlines and they told me my dog cant fly in the cargo because its a brachycephalic breed, i didnt know it, any way to do it?

It's cold out now and my basic gloves from target are barely cutting it. Preferably something I can open poop bags with. Looking for tips or recommendations.

Snow tolerance not needed, looking for something for the SF bay area

We adopted our lab mix puppy about 10 days ago. She was 8 weeks so about 9 now. She slept essentially through the night immediately, she just wanted let out around 4-5AM. I currently have her crate on a small table next to the bed and put my fingers in when she cries. This has progressively decreased but is still happening 1-2 times a night.

I have fairly intense anxiety, especially at night so I’m thankful she’s been so easy (knock on wood) but I know I’ll sleep 1,000 better once her crate is a little further away.

Should I wait until those checking whines fully cease before I start moving her progressively further away? It seems a little “all or nothing” considering it’s touch that makes her feel better (I can either reach her or not) and I’m definitely afraid of regression.

I have a 3mo golden retriever and 5 cats, Cleo, my puppy wont stop barking at the cats and i dont know what to do. I think it comes from playfulness and i play with her with toys, walks, playtime outside on the long line, snuffle mat but she just cant leave the poor cats alone, what do i do???
