The reason why you've never seen him calm down when he's on a leash is probably because you've let him off the leash without him calming down everytime. If he is agitated and going crazy while he's on the leash, you cannot let him off the leash, for doing so is reinforcing the behaviour (if I...

Yup. That's what I told her, too. Thanks for the advice! :)

Hi guys. The following happened to my friend's dog who is 4months plus (Schnauzer). One night, he suddenly woke up from his sleep and appeared to have breathing difficulties. She described his condition then as "something stucked in his nose, can't breathe". She said that his chest felt...

Try giving her the 'social isolation' whenever she bites. When she bites, give a sharp shriek (Ouch!), enough to startle her a little, but not to much. THen, ignore her completely - and this means no contact, even eye contact. Image that she's not there. Do that for about 5 minutes. If you...

Cookie now no longer nibs (so quickly) when she's excited. When we first got her, she would nib the moment we run a bit. But the other day, we were in my brother's room and I ran out to get something. I wasn't expecting her to follow, but she came running after me. To my surprise, she stopped...

I think it might just be the way she "warns" of any possible intruder. She knows that someone is coming in, and is warning him/her that if he/she is not coming in for a good reason, he/she is in trouble. But once she realises that you are ok with whoever that is, she's excited to get to know...

It appears that this (doggie) peanut butter I bought causes Cookie to have watery poo. While it's not confirmed, we're trying to see if it really causes it. Maybe it's too rich? It's called kong's stuff'n.

It appears that dogs dream about running a lot. Could it be because humans have kept them at home now, and they're no longer free to run around with no restrictions? Maybe deep down in their doggie hearts, the yearn to be free.....

What are some of the ingredients that one should look out for? I've heard of "corn" and "animal fats".

While I'm not expert trainer (in fact, I'm new), I'm really puzzled about what you've said. How did your dog manage to get hold of everythign you mentioned? Well, garbage scraps sounds reasonable, but sisters' candy? Treat box? Oreos? Shouldn't all these stuff be out of reach of your dog? How...

I see. Well, thanks for the information!

I'm sorry to interupt, but what is a recall?

Nice poem!

LOl. Well, now watching Cookie sleep has becoem a lot more interesting.

Hi guys. Like the topic, do dogs dream? I think our Cookie definitely does. Why do I say this? Well, you see, just about 20 minutes ago, I heard some noise coming from my left (her play-pen/cage is to my left) when I was using the computer. The noise was unusual - I've never heard it...

She's 3 months plus. Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, we do not have an oven and most homemade treats require baking. I think I need recipies that doesn't require baking! Lol. Btw, are there any common human-food brands that we should all avoid (i.e. may be/is harmful to our...

Hi guys. It's Cookie again. It's not a problem this time, more of a question. I haven't seen a post that tackles this question, so I'm posting a new thread. Please redirect me if neccessary. What are some treats you guys recommend? I've heard about cheese and peanut butter. Are there any...

@doberluv: Thank you once again for the help. I understand things even better now. @otch1. Hi! Well, while your reply seemed to be echoing the rest, it does has things that weren't mentioned before. I will continue to stick to the feeding method mentioned by dr2little/doberluv, and read...

I was thinking about that, too. Her growl is definitely different from the growl she had when she was eating. Still, I still think discouraging her growling would be better because of her food aggression problem? What do you think? Yup, we are currently doing this, and I would say we've made...

Hi guys. Here's an update on the food aggression problem. There's good news and bad news. I woke up this morning to find myself shocked - not by Cookie, but by my brother. He had asked me to demostrate the method of feeding you guys recommended, but instead when ahead to feed like in the...
