Re: My dog attacks

I have decided to re home Abbie. I do love her with all my heart. I raised her from 3 weeks old. She is now almost 1-1/2 years old. She was my pride and joy. I have to realize that I just cannot give her the best life. (tears). I think she needs a home with a more experienced person or a home where ...

Re: My dog attacks

Thank you all for your advice. I will check out thread about exercise. It is just so sad because 99% of the time she is good, playful and calm. I had thought about re homing her a couple of times, but thought I will not do that until I have tried everything in my power to help. It hurts me to think ...

My dog attacks

I have 3 dogs and the youngest one attacks the other 2. I was told when the 2 show anything that is taken as weakness she will attack them. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to stop this behavior? I hate to do it, but I have to smack her to make her let loose. The last 2 times my Kelsie wen...

Re: Trying to understand my dogs behavior

They are all spayed. They were really good friends. I had Kelsie first then we went to adopt a friend for her and her and Jackie were instant friends. but I think it started when I unexpectedly brought home a new puppy, althought they dont bother the puppy Jackie is a little more protective of her. ...

Trying to understand my dogs behavior

I have 2 young female dogs. They get along good, but sometimes I notice they do a low growl at each other and lick their lips at the same time. Then sometimes they walk around butt sniffing each other. I just want to know what that means or if there is anything wrong with it.
Thanks for helping!

Re: Older dogs are training my puppy

That make sense. It has only gotten out of hand a couple times and I do intervene. The baby, of course, wants to be like her older sisters so she does copy them in the good ways. Of course like any little sister she sometimes gets annoying and they tell her.
Thanks for your advice.

Older dogs are training my puppy

This is probably a stupid question but I, like you, do not believe in dominating to train my puppy, but my other 2 dogs are doing it. Is it ok for them to do it to teach her. It really is working and to be honest, I could use all the help I can get. If it is not ok, I will stop it. The puppy is 9 we...

Puppy Diapers

I have a new puppy and she is not potty trained yet. I visit my elderly mom with my dogs at a retirement home. I want to know if using diapers on a puppy will negatively affect her in potty training outside.
Thanks!!
