Dog Training & Health

Could any one advise!

I have a Collie who is nearly 3. We had her from 12 weeks and we have had virtually no problems with her. I done as much research as i could before i brought my dog and took on board that Collies can be difficult/misunderstood meaning many end up in rescue centres. I was determined to do the best i could.

The problem we have is that she is extremely protective ...

I adopted a shelter dog yesterday. She is about 1 yr old, looks like a sheltie with short hair and quite small (35 lbs and knee high). In the shelter she seemed totally submissive and when she met my other dogs (both females, a 7yr old Great Dane and a 6 year old Pitbull) she was fine though spent alot of time licking their lips and following them around.

Within 5 hours of bringing her ...

So, my pitbull is just over a year old. We've had him since he was 6 weeks old, so where his aggression come from is beyond me. We have multiple dogs. And he knows his place. He will not even consider messing with most of the other dogs. Lately it's come to the point where we have to seperate him and my other dog though, no clue is breed. He was a rescue. They're both ...

I adopted a sprayed female shepherd mix in China and manage to bring her into states this christmas since she was being neglect by my parents there.
I raised her since she was 3 months and now about to be 4 years old. But last year I came to the states to study college and my boyfriend and I decided to adopt this pure breed male husky puppy (5 months now and I'm thinking to ...

I have a 1 year old black lab/golden retriever mix. He's never been very aggressive. When we first got him I lived with my parents, but about 4 months ago I moved out and took him with me. Since I moved out I also got 2 other pups. One of them is his lil sister and the other is a Siberian Husky. Both of them are females and about 4 1/2 months old.
I also ...

I picked a little papillion up today from a back yard breeder. This is my first dog and I'm already positive I am way over my head. He came right up to me in the kennel and was pretty friendly so I decided to get him. We rode home and he was very nervous the whole time but got use to my hand petting him. From what I read on a few websites it was ...

I have had my male dog since he was 6 weeks old. I spoiled him badly and have been trying to reverse the bad habits instilled in him for the past 9 months or more. One thing I did was get him a buddy, I ended up having to be gone for long periods of time and thought it would be better if he had another friend around. She is an Australian Cattle dog just ...

I'm concerned about one of my dogs recent behavior. I adopted charlie about 2 months ago from a friend and he and got along great with my other dog, Oliver. Charlie is very well trained and never disobeys a command. Now when ever i let them outside to play Charlie chases Oliver aggressively. when ever i call them to come back inside Charlie attacks Oliver and puts himself between Oliver and the door. whenever they ...

Please help me with my aggressive chihuahua.

I adopted Hugo about a year ago. He's about 3 1/2 now. He was a rescue dog, who lived with a fairly neglectful family before he went to the shelter. He is my baby... he absolutely adores me and is just the sweetest thing. But he definitely has aggression issues.

First, I have lived with my boyfriend since about a month after I got Hugo. When it's just ...
