Welcome to the joys of owning an adolescent dog!! It will pass. Go back to basics , be calm and consistent. Find a really high value reward(liver or chicken for example) go over the top with praise when he gets it right. And most importantly untill you have a 100% reliable recall do not take the...

But they also say he is 'needy' ..i think this poor dog just spends too much time alone

Crates are a useful tool if used properly. Ive never had to use a crate for any dog ive had apart from my youngest who is working line and very clever. She opens doors , cupboards , can climb has a nose on her like no other dog ive ever had. If we don't keep her busy she finds her own...

I honestly wouldn't get a young pup because the hardest stage in a young dogs life is adolescent stage , not the young pup stage and you will be back at work when the dog reaches adolescent stage . I too would go for a couch potato who loves a bit of a run around but not too much walking . I...

8.5 hours is too long in my opinion for a dog to be left alone in a crate ..what time do u go to bed? ..if you went say 10.30 that means he only has company for 6-8 hours a day out of 24 hours. He I probably lonely and is missing you. Have u thought about hiring a dog walker to.come in during...

How many hours a day and how many days a week would the pup be left? How much exercise would you realistically be looking to give the dog(in all weathers all seasons) what size of dog were you thinking of?

Have a look on line at golden paste for dogs. Studies have proved turmeric works just as well if not better for things like arthritis and rheumatism..the anti inflammatory properties have been proven to work just as well as prescribed drugs. Ive been using it several months now for my 17year...

Your dog is evidently terrified and is trying desperately to tell you this . As gypsymum said muzzle train asap and get the help of a good kind behaviourist asap (not a ceasar Milan follower) . Re training can be done . In the mean time as soon as he spots another dog get him to look at you and...

If its too cold for you , then its too cold for your dog without shelter. Is there a reason you can think of? Has she got into trouble before for not coming to you / not coming in?. I saw a woman at the park screaming at her dog and shaking it by the collar shouting when I tell you to.come ...

I looked at this too and contacted someone who lived on the way to where I work ..thought it would be ideal as she was brought up with dogs , said she had experience etc etc ..anyway i got talking to my best friend who lives in the same area and found out that this girl lived with her mother in...

I'm quite sure if he had no life quality your vet would tell you. Dogs adapt to losing sight and if it is cataracts its unlikely he is totally blind anyway. I have an old boy who isn't in good health and is no longer insured because the payments tripled so I know what u mean about treatment...

My youngest did this. We fed her large breed orijen puppy that she just refused to eat once she got to about 6months . We mixed liver, chicken., fish, heart , kidneys ..you name it but she just wouldn't eat it. I always leave the food down for 20mins and take it up again till the next meal..but...

Hello, I think if you contacted a good rescue like blue cross or the dogs trust you would be able to talk to them about what you could or couldn't work with and they will help match you to your new family member !

The chesterfield pet friendly hotel in Blackpool takes any well behaved dog

We have taught Willow lots of tricks , not so we can show off with silly party tricks but just because she loves to learn and keep busy. Mostly the tricks have been more about spending fun time together bonding, getting her to listen to me , reaching achievable goals and brain training..she is...

I am sort about the diagnosis and I'm pleased she doesn't need meds yet , long may it continue. I will also agree in Tha beautiful loving dogs can attack when another is having a fit ..my friend spaniel fatally attacked her best mate when he had a fit when the owner wasn't around ..not a...

I think using puppy pads at 7months isn't good really ..personally I would rather get up and let the dog out to show them that outside is where u go to the toilet ..but that's just me ..if she starts between 4.30 and 5.30 maybe and you get up at 5.30 maybe you have trained her to wake at this...

Toby please find a registered TRAINED dog behavioural specialist that will deal with your dogs current issues without adding more.But in the mean time muzzle train to protect others but more importantly to protect your dogs life . If he attacks and the person prosecutes you could find yourself...

Ceased Milian is a bully with no idea about dogs. He bullies and scares them so they only stop the behaviour out of fear , it doesn't address the issue causing the behaviour. Pack leadership and dominance has been completely disproven . We already 'control' our dogs by choosing where they sleep...

Ahh I'm sorry . Keep us posted as to what the vet says x
