behaviour

Hi! We rescued a German Shepherd cross breed puppy at 5 months old. We've had her two months now and she's wonderful apart from her separation anxiety. She always wants to be with us and if we have to leave her at all, even for a few minutes, she cries and barks hysterically. We have cameras and...

I wondered if I could ask for any advice on walking an elderly dog with dementia? I try to stick to fields mostly, but sometimes the following is unavoidable, and I'd really appreciate some advice/solidarity if anyone could help. When walking on pavements with him, it turns into a bit of a...

Our dog likes to kneel. No, I don't mean bow, I mean kneel on her front legs, at the antebrachiocarpal joint (I think). She is clearly in no pain, and is a healthy, happy, 2 year old who runs like a greyhound across the local fields here. I can't find any references to any dogs doing this, and...

Hi All, I'm really in dire straits right now and desperate for some help and advice, my Greyhound is persistently destroying her bedding in her crate when it's time to go to bed, her whining and heavy panting is also starting to become difficult to live with. Here's some background info for...

Hello, I am currently studying a level 3 Animal Behaviour and Welfare course. I am doing my dissertation project about if neutering has an effect on animal behaviour. If you have or had a dog neutered please could you fill out my questionnaire. It is all confidential and will take between 5-10...

A bit of a long story but hoping for some advice! We have 2 dogs who have lived happily together for 2 years but suddenly showing aggression to one another. Regis is 9 years old and we rescued him 7 years ago. He is a cropped ears bully-type breed and was rescued from a hoarder, and had many...

Hi there, my 6 year old dog has in the last few months started acting strange around my boyfriend acting anxious in his presence. We don't live together, but spend most weekends at his and her behaviour has made me feel like i don't want to leave her alone with him because she is acting so...

I don't know if this thread already exists or if I already posted this in general. I noticed that a lot of members (myself included) have shared photos of themselves cuddling with their dog and their dog posing for them in a photo. Lady was a sucker for attention, so is Rocco, Lady was a...

Hey guys, So my miniature poodle, Lilly, 9 months old has recently started barking and showing signs of dominance in the last couple of months. Before she was always fairly shy, never pulling on the leash (still doesn't) but when someone would ring the doorbell she would look and then go back...

Hello everyone. Wonder if anyone can help with my little problem, please? I have 2 dogs, sisters from the same litter. They are 2 years old & a mix of 3 different breeds. One of them keeps jumping on the dining table. I don’t know how to make her stop as she only does it when we’re not in. She...

I'm completely shocked and confused. My 3 year old Labrador has just bitten someone we know in the village having never shown aggressive behaviour before. He runs around outside a lot during the day (in a very excitable manner, he's an overgrown puppy) and we have a gate at the bottom of the...

It's been a while since I last posted on here. I finally patched things with my mother and got to see Lady the JRT whilst visiting my parents. My mother and I took Lady for a nice long walk in the beautiful sunshine but it was a very hot day so passed on on the couch. Here's some of the...

She's perfectly fine now, she's back to normal, she was just overeating and needs to lose a bit of weight. Her liver and gallbladder are enlarged but it appears it's been that way for a while. All the tests have come back normal, she just ate until she got dehydrated and gave herself a sore...

Monday night she was drinking too much water and going out to the toilet a lot and she ended up peeing herself which is very out of character of her so my mother took her to the vets yesterday morning as an emergency and Lady's stomach is in a lot of pain so she's been staying overnight on IV...

Hi guys, I really do hope you can offer me some advice, because I'm feeling overwhelmed. :( We've had our beautiful JRT x Chihuahua since he was 11 months old - he's 16 months now. We know he's had quite a few homes before us, so we understand why he has some issues. First, let me tell you all...

We're usually inseparable whenever I visit, she even sits on me to try and stop me from leaving my parents' house. Now I noticed that she's now letting out gas a lot each time she greets me or if I pet her and sing to her (she likes me singing to her). I want to cuddle with her but her "gas"...

I think I mentioned it before in my introduction or first thread that Lady enjoys Tom Jones, especially his song "She's a Lady", mostly because she thinks the song is about her lol She seems to really love it when anyone sings "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window", she'll interrupt by...

I thought I'd ask everyone here as most of the me members here love dogs. Also, my thread about Lady's eating habits was deleted? Edit: I found the thread about Lady's eating habits, lol

My border collie pup is 6 months old, has a clean bill of health and eats 'James wellbeloved kibble, she gets two 15 minute walks a day with 2 other in and out walks in case she needs the toilet. She is very high in energy and plays for 30minutes maybe even more almost all day. She's only taking...
