On saturday I had my dog at the dog park, and he attacked a little toy dog. I have had issues with him and small dogs in the past, but nothing to this extent. Usually he just looks WAY too interested. But this time he ran over and pinned the dog to the ground, shook him around and everything...

So I've been taking my sight impaired 90 lb husky vlad to the dog park. He's not great with small dogs, but the dog park we go to does have a "small dog" area which I keep him out of. Unfortunately some small dog owners do like to have their smaller dogs out with the big dogs for some reason...

My dog Vlad has been getting worse and worse in the car. He's always been kindof touchy about it. The windows have to be open, and he barks and whines on longer trips, or whenever we slow down and he thinks he can get out. Sometimes he'll calm down, sometimes he wont. For a while there...

So I've started taking my husky Vlad to the dog park. It has been pretty good, he still has issues with very small dogs (who are supposed to be in the "small dog area" anyway) but I've been keeping an eye on him and just trying to avoid that situation for now. (He seems to view smaller dogs as...

Have you guys seen this video of Sit Means Sit training an aggressive dog? It looks like they are using 2 e collars. YouTube - Chicago Dog Training with an Aggressive Pitbull I was just curious what this board's reactions were, and what better ways there would be to go about this? Do you...

So over the weekend we were visiting my boyfriend's Mom and she gave my dog Vlad a giant bone. (It looks like the knob end of a huge freaking bone, I try not to think about where it came from... I have vegetarian leanings.) Anyway, he's obsessed. He has been carrying it around and burying...

The guy just sticks his hand in the poor dog's face! :popcorn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuTZOf5gzZE :rofl1:

So my dog started acting weird last night. He was whining a bit and moving around pretty slow for him. Usually he vocalizes when he needs to go out and gets very excited. But now he's just sortof... moping around, taking the stairs slow. He whined when he bent to eat his food today, he also...

So... recently people who live around the corner from us got a big dog. I have a big dog too, so I was fine with that. But these people don't have a fenced in yard, and so they keep their big freakin dog tied on their front porch most of the time. He seems like a nice enough guy, but he is...

So my husky Vlad has some issues with smaller dogs. Based on his behaviors at daycare, and walking around, he seems to view them, not as dogs, but as toys. Is there a safe way to socialize him with smaller dogs as an adult dog? He has been rejected from a nearby daycare because of this...

I really want to start teaching my dog to get behind me on command. Is there any standard way to do this? I will probably start out luring him behind me and practice it a lot. If anyone has any recommendations so I don't create additional issues like butt smelling strangers for treats or...

So my dog Vlad has separation anxiety. We don't leave him home alone much anymore after he seriously bent the bars on his old crate. We are concerned that he might hurt himself trying to escape the crate. So we are trying to get him used to a new crate. It is one of the plastic airline...

My husky's nose is turning pink. It's doing it very rapidly, I noticed a descernable difference over the weekend. It isn't snow nose, because it is warm out. He doesn't seem to be bumping it or anything that could cause such a rapid change. We did move recently and he has been eating the...

Over the weekend we were at a family gathering and my dog started mouthing on someone's 3 year old girl. I guess biting might be a better word, except there was no aggression on his part, and she wasn't hurt. She's been around big dogs before, (They have an intact male amstaff) and we...

My boyfriend let our husky Vlad out in the yard this morning. We have a short fence so we always keep an eye on him. He was running around in the snow, which he loves, and a woman walked by. He walked towards her and she screamed and ran away. Full on ran away. Apparently she returned a...

My husky has recently started shedding, not just a few hairs here and there, but big chucks like he sheds when he is blowing his coat. (Mostly around his neck.) Should he be blowing his coat in February??? It isn't warm here, we just got 8 inches of snow. When we adopted him in June he was...

When we adopted our dog in June we started feeding the cats up on a microwave stand, so the dog wouldn't get into their food. We had a couple incidents early on with him counter surfing for cat food, but he got caught, got in trouble and stopped. Well he has now improved his technique...

My Husky hates his crate and seems to have some form of separation anxiety. So I am int he process of trying to "re" crate train him. I think he was kept in a crate far too much at his old foster home and so now he has actually bent the bars on his old crate far enough that my cats can almost...

There are a couple of behaviors my dog is exhibiting that are kindof obsessive, for lack of a better term. I was wondering if someone on here could help me understand why he's doing this stuff? 1. Tongue Baths- He loooooves to lick us, not all the time, usually if we're all cuddling in...

I have some friends, they have two dogs, one border collie mix (very smart, shy) and one pit mix (a big face licker), both about 2 years old. I'm concerned because they havent' done a lot of obedience with their dogs and they have a new baby on the way in 7 months. Their dogs are alloweed on...
