Don't get me wrong... :p I specifically chose a terrier because I have experienced them and read about their personalities. I didn't want an easy going, quiet kind of dog. I guess I am/ was worried about how to handle him in that situation. If we had a backyard I would put him out there...

I have two friend both who have pit bulls from the Toronto Humane Society that they got as adults. These dogs are the SWEETEST, and most loving dogs! Although I love my little puppy I think if I ever get a second dog it would be an adult.

My Rat Terrier Batman is 12 weeks old. 90% of the time he is just wonderful. He knows come, 'hurry up', NO, drop it, sit and stay VERY VERY well, he is beginning to understand leave it, down, bring rope (ball or bone) and ENOUGH (when he chases one of our cats.) We are very committed to...

Rat Terrier (12 weeks) 2 cats 2 ferrets :D

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that there is submissive urination and excitement urination. Both of them are beyond the control of the dog. The only thing I can think of is to have people great him very calmly and have him sit before the people will greet him. I do know that two people...

Hi roni, I just wanted to add that it may not seem like it is getting better but eventually if you keep leaving him alone he will learn you will come back. My 12 week old has gone from barking the entire time I am gone to just for a minute or 2. :D But it took four weeks to get hear...

Hi Kroovy, My puppy is now 12 weeks old and what we have done is set up his crate at night so he just a bit below bed level (crate is sitting on two chairs.) The first two weeks we were getting up every few hours. He would start whimpering and we would hear him. My advice would be to put...

If you get a crate to fit your puppy when he/she is full grown figure out a way to make it smaller now, before your pup comes home. Our puppy is 11 weeks and the toy he has a loves are: Stuffed animals (although he humped those so they have been banned for a while) Soft ball with a...

We just got our first puppy (a male Rat Terrier) on Saturday. He just turned 9 weeks. I am determined to do everything I can to help him become as friendly and well behaved as possible. I would really appreciate advice from experienced dog owners. We are crate training him. He goes to...
