Thank you everyone for your responses....her play does SOUND like fighting but I believe she just doesn't understand boundaries/manners yet. All of the other dogs she's gotten rough with displayed passive behaviors and didn't attempt to put my dog "in her place." I'm not afraid she's going to...

It wasn't an evil oh-my-god-she's-killing-another-puppy fight LOL But it was enough to make the people who were standing nearby pick her up and pull her off and make comments about how she was snappy and vicious. I know calling a puppy vicious is completely ridiculous. And I know this is...

Hello, I need some assistance with a 10-12 week lab/golden retriever mix puppy from the shelter. I've had her for about a week, and she lives harmoniously with my other puppy (6 months of age). We go to the dog park daily so they can get some exercise, and I've noticed some aggression in...

He gets 2-3 hours a day of exercise really.....45 min-60 min. walk daily and 1-2 hours running with other dogs at the dog park. I guess it's simply not enough for him. Thanks again to everybody who responded....I feel much more well-equipped to handle this pup's energy and behavior. ~Rachel

Crating him with a toy isn't supposed to be punishment, and isn't treated like punishment...he's not disciplined or sternly talked to and then thrown in there...the fact is, Leo, like I said, is a very busy pup, and watching him 24/7 is simply impractical. Typical scenario: mom is trying to get...

He gets a 45-60 min.walk per day plus 1-2 hrs at the dog park, weather permitting. He gets a few toys at a time..usually a marrow bone with peanut butter frozen inside, a few stuffed toys with squeakers, and a rope toy. They're rotated so he doesn't get bored with them, but he always has a few...

Leo will leave objects that don't necessarily belong to him or my parents, but that they prefer he not chew, such as sticks. If mom is walking him, and he picks up a stick, she'll say leave it and he'll drop it. Really "juicy" items like her magazines, books, etc.- he grabs those in his mouth...

Hello everyone, This may get kind of long, but I'll be as brief as possible. I acquired a 5-6 mo. old puppy last August named Leo. Leo is a long haired shaggy mixed breed dog--the vet believes he's a terrier mix, and he sure does act like it! He is a very very busy boy. He's about a year...

Hello everyone, my name is Rachel. I'm new to this forum, and my puppy is very new to me, so I thought I'd ask for some advice. I found a puppy alone in a restaurant parking lot on Sunday afternoon. She had no ID tags...she was simply curled up in a ball on the asphalt. So I took her to...

Hello, my name is Rachel. I live in Murfreesboro, TN. I have a 10 (?) month old mix that looks like a mop with legs named Leo, and recently found a puppy in a parking lot estimated to be 5 1/2- 6 weeks old that I've named Daisy. I'll get pics up as soon as I...figure out how!
