We have a dog, he is a loving , gentle soul and we love him to death. We are kinda confused because sometimes he followes me and nudges me or gets on top of me and will follow me like a fly follows cake. He will not leave me alone and will just stare at me. I dont know what he wants, if I'm on the computer he gets under the desk and pushes me away from it. He doesnt always do it to me he has at times done it to everyone in this household. We dont understand it. It seems like there is something wrong he wnts to tell us that only he knows about, but everything to us seems fine. He is a golden retreiver mix and is 8 years old.

I would appreciate only serious answers please.

I just adopted a White German Shepard last Sunday. He has been wonderful except that Dr. Jeckyl turns into Mr. Hyde the second the barometric pressure drops a smidge. Suddenly, the dog is in the Matrix and gravity is more of a suggestion than a law. He scales walls, jumps barricades and hurdles, and with a crazy look in his eye, tears up the carpet (which was new when we moved in...I just want to cry). He is a perfect dog except for this one problem. I would appreciate some help!!!! I am at the end of my leash on this!

Well, first of all, my mom doesn't even like me going walk the dogs and fails to understand that a dog must be walked every day... I go walk anyway, though... I go in the mornings before 9 am, and in afternoons between 6 and 7 pm. (20 mins ea.)And I let them play together in the house for a while after the evening walk. My mom walks with me in the afternoons and the kids aren't out in the morning b/c they go to school. I'm homeschooled... I can't walk in the middle of the day b/c this is Louisiana... South LA, and it's way scorching over here all the time.... My mom doesn't know how much longer she can walk with me and doesn't want me to walk alone. (I'm 15, btw) That's b/c my friend who was walking the dogs with me got beat up by some biotch.... And even though no one has EVER messed with me, except a bit of ignorant teasing, in the 2 years I've lived here, my mom still doesn't /like/ me to go out alone... I'll go if I want, though. She's not that strict.... At least not /yet/... -_-

My male corgi is loveable and energetic. He likes to (try) chase bunnies during our daily walks. We are adopting two kittens, one male, one female, from an animal rescue. What should I do to socialize them?

Our family just got a two month old beagle puppy, and my mom gets really frustrated when he uses the bathroom inside. We think that he's starting to understand that what he's doing is bad, it's just that he doesn't know how to tell us that he needs to go out. Any tips on how to teach him to whine at the door would be much appreciated.

hello. I have a huge problem. I'm terrified of dogs!
It's a huge problem for me coz though i fear them i also find them cute and i want to own one as well (in the future, maybe!) But my phobia for dogs has gone to bad to worst.
im not afraid of the "dog"...im afraid of what it does, like charge at me, bark as if telling me i should start running.

what should i expect from dogs? some dogs dont do anything they just stay there but im most difficult with dogs who aren't afraid to make communication. =0(

Is winter a bad season to get a puppy since it would be hard to potty train them, since it's cold outside?
