Hi! My puppy is 5 months old and he has started barking at anyone we see when we are walking. He takes two walks a day. Always in the same neighborhood.

We have been home most of the summer, so he is getting attention. I have ...

My big Golden has a weird relationship with our pool. He is 5, and since he was little he goes crazy and barks at us when we're in the pool.

Hello,
I have two labs (brother and sister) that are 5 years old. My wife and I have had them since they were puppies. We keep the dogs indoor the majority of the time, but let them out quite a few times during the day into the backyard for bathroom/playtime.

Upon returning a pit bull mix to it's previous owner, I was asked to keep the dog because the owner didn't want him anymore. I however am a broke college student renting at a friends house. Because I am not able to afford a fence around the yard I have set up a "runner" in the back yard. Is this cruel??

I have been having lots of problems with my dog barking in his crate. He is a 4 1/2 month old Border Collie Lab mix and I have been trying everything.
