First Move with Dogs
Hi! We will be moving to a new home and I was wondering if there is anything we can do to minimize stress on our dogs. Also, are there any behavior problems that commonly arise when moving? Can we use this to help fix some existing behavior problems? Any tips on moving with dogs? Recently, Remi jump...

Territorial Barking Reward Mishap?!?!
My dogs are Athena and Remi. Athena is a 1 and a half year old Doberman pinscher/ Rottweiler/ Australian shepherd mix (exact mix uncertain). Remi is a 7 year old Basset hound/ pug/ beagle/ corgi mix (DNA tested, and the results make sense). They typically go on a walk a day, give or take. If they do...

Ideas for Socializing Dogs
Hello. Remi and Athena bark at other dogs territorially, as well as excitedly on walks. The territorial barking is deep and low w/ growling, and the walk barking is frantic w/ lots of pulling and some whining. Remi is a beagle/pug/basset hound/Pembroke welsh corgi mix (we got him DNA tested, and all...

Tips for Training a Leash Reactive Dog
Victoria Stilwell's article "teaching a leash reactive dog to make the right choices" sounded like just the type of training my dogs need! :) Only, I do not know anybody who can help me with training by bringing her dog out. :( Any tips for doing a similar type exercise on a normal walk en...

Strange (Aggressive) Dog Behavior
Recently we adopted a Australian shepherd mix. She is one year and three months old and she resembles a rottweiler. When we first brought her home, we had her meet our existing dog in the front yard. Everything went well. After a few hours inside, they got very confrontational over some popcorn. Our...

Training a Dog Stay and Release
I recently adopted a 1yr and 2 month old female Australian shepherd / Rottweiler mix from the shelter. She was given up for being too active for the family as well as chewing things up. She is good on walks and sits and goes down fairly well, but I do not know how to teach her to release from her st...

(no shock) Vibrating collars
When I was searching for good dog trainers, my neighbor recommended this guy who uses vibrating collars to train dogs. I asked about it and the trainer said that sometimes when dogs are sniffing they zone out and don't even hear or care about what your saying, so if you need him to come quickly he w...

Dog HATES getting picked up, whats wrong?
So, whenever my dog needs a bath, I bath him in the laundry room tub. Its just big enough for him, and he can turn around, but it's a little smaller than his crate. He hates getting wet, and so he hates baths. I try to give him lots of treats when he is getting a bath, but he refuses to eat them. Th...

Re: Questions about positive training
this is not a problem if sound training principles are applied. If you use food right, then it won't matter if your dog smells it or not on you because the power is NOT in the food on you, but the properly applied reinforcement and built up reinforcement history. In theory, this problem could happe...

Questions about positive training
Ok, so if you are training a dog to do something, anything, and you use rewards, won't the dog only do it if you have a reward with you? I hear you should try to mix it up so that the dog never knows when he will get a treat, and if he doesn't get it that time, then the chances that he will get one ...

How long can you leave a puppy in a crate?
I fell in love with a Doberman puppy at a shelter, but I don't know how long they can be left home alone. I would be gone from home 3-5 hours a day and I would be able to play with him for a hour when I get back. He would be left in a crate when I am gone, but I would give him a kong that is filled ...

Re: Why are show lines hated so much.
Hi, I was wondering if hyenas are similar to German shepherds. They have sloping backs and although they are not wild dogs they do have similar body types. Hyenas can run fine, and nobody is worried about hyenas having hip problems. I think that it doesn't make much of a difference if a dog has a sl...

Dog Barks at Other Dogs During Walk
HI, my dog's name is Remi and is a 5 year old beagle/ jack russell/ basset hound mix which we got from a foster home based rescue organization. Remi's past life is mostly unknown as he was a stray and he may have spent some time in a shelter. We got Remi when he was 2-3. Remi knows sit, stay, come, ...
