I just got a 9 week old male Rottweiler from my uncle and he seems a bit wild and anxious. He doesn't really like being held for too long. Is there any sort of test that i can give him to see if he shows aggression. I know he's very young, but i have a 2 year old daughter and i certainly don't want an aggressive dog in the house. I saw the parents (my uncle has them) and they both are sweet natured. Any suggestions? Appreciate any advice on this. Thanks.

I have a four year old cat I adopted from a shelter. He's great, but when there are other cats around (I had a roommate with two cats for a year) he was very rough with them. I'd love to adopt another cat, but would I be putting it at risk of his overly aggressive play fighting?

I want to start an african cichlid tank but what can i put in there with them? For example snails, shrimp, or plants. I want to start a salt water tank without using a 90 gallon tank. What is the smallest tank you can start a salt water tank in.

I have a betta in a 2 gallon tank. I already have a junior heater in there along with a filter.The filter is made for small tanks starting from 1 gallon but my betta doesnt like the strong water flow. I really want the heater in there but was wondering if i could just take the filter out. My concern is that i was using the filter as a water "mixer" so that the heat would distribute in the tank evenly. But if i take the filter out would that still be ok?

I see these fish all the time in different tanks (usually larger tanks) and need to know the name of them. I am hoping they are suitable for a smaller tank because I think they are absolutely gorgeous and don't have room for a large one! They are black and orange usually (striped like a tiger) but thinner and smaller than the "tiger barb" variation, which is all I could find online.

Anyone know what kind of fish I am describing? Thanks!

My kitty, Gemini, lived until he was 19 years old! Letting him go was the hardest thing I've ever done. When he got sick my Mom and sister were out of town at the time, so I had to cuddle and spoil him all weekend until they returned.

I have a cat and my husband & I love her very much. I can see that she loves us very much as well. We do lots of things together...for example, sleeping.

She comes up to me and using my arm as her pillow while I pet her. Then she bits my chin.

Well...she doesn't bite me that hard...but it still hurts and shocks me especially when she does that to me while I'm asleep. She also sniffs my left eye...only my left eye and pats my left eye with her paw, claws out while I'm asleep. It doesn't bother me that much if I'm awake...but when she wakes me up like this, I get little annoyed.

Now I know she does patting because kittens do that to get milk out from mother's breasts...I think? I'm not sure anymore.

So why does she bites my chin, pats my left eye and sniffs it?

Oh and thanks in advance!

My 10 week old labradoorX won't stop biting anything and everything. I know that she's teething, but would like know how to stop this becoming a habit and how to teach her to not bite humans and their SHOES!

Well, I have read all the answers for others and so far I must say > none of that even makes sense.My dog whenever we put him in the yard just barks forever!! Now the whole ignoring thing, please > the more I ignore him the more he will bark.Obviously he wants the attention or come inside.I need for him to learn to stay outside when I need him to, reason is whenever i do let him be inside he will harass anyone by pulling, nagging, bitting etc.So really if he would be half way decent with people he would actually get to stay inside some more. For ex. if I put him in balcony and he starts with his little tentrum I have to go back and fort to reprement him and say no after while he stops.I just don't have the time and patience keep coming from the second floor to say no thousand times.The second I close the door he starts again.And believe me I do not give in, so there is nothing to fight for with the bark, yet he manages to bark up to 6-7 hours straight and can't let him in after that..

My chi will go outside to pee. He still has a pad in the house in case he has to go when I'm not home but he REFUSES to go poop where he goes outside to pee. He will either poop in the house (not on the pad) or I will have to walk him to get him to poop. If he poops in the same place more than three times he will not go anywhere near that area again. I really need to get him to poop when he goes out to pee.

I have two dogs, an eight year old cockapoo and a two year old Lhasa Apso (both females). My only problem with the girls is that Tibet (the Lhasa) gets very excited when company comes and in order to get the visitors attention before Cooke (the cockapoo) does she will jump up and grab the persons hand. I know her intention is not to be aggressive, but I don't like the idea that she is biting, even in this way. I have tried to seperate them from the guests when they first enter the house thinking that she will calm down a bit and have tried to introduce them into the room one at a time with no success. I should probably mention that Cookie also gets very excited but does not jump up or bite, she barks. This is the only behavior issue that I have and I tend to have a lot of company. Tibet is equally excited if the person is new or someone she knows. She used to get very excited when I came home, but has been better since I have basically ignored her when she is hyper.

I recently brought home two kittens that i saved from my friends mother who was going to have them put to sleep. I have two older cats also.

There is a male kitten and a female kitten. Both of the others LOVE the male kitten but the female gets them all riled up.

So one of my older cats particularly hates the female kitten. About a week ago they had a brutal fight (with blood) and i stopped them before they caused serious damage. Now they fight a lot and the older cat has started peeing in the house. I think she is trying to mark her territory but im not sure.

its really gross. does anyone know how i can get them to stop fighting?
