I have a 65 lb. (very large) 5 year old Australian Shepard and I love this dog. He is very protective of me, if my husband raises his voice or if a stranger comes around he will get in between me and them. Also if another dog wants to be petted he will shoulder in between us and knock them out of the way. He will bite them if they keep trying to get attention from me. I have a 2 year old and they have always played well together but I have noticed that he has started trying to get in between us when I hug her or pick her up. Is he becoming aggressive towards my baby? I never let her around him or any other animal without my supervision, I don't want to get rid of him but I am not going to risk my child, is there anything I can do about this? Also he is an outside dog, he is not allowed in the house at all. And he was neutered several years ago.

My husband and I just adopted a new dog and he's still pretty young (somewhere b/w 11 months and 1yr and 8 months). We keep him in his kennel when we're not home. He won't pee while we're not home, but when we do get home, he'll see us, and as we're walking towards him with a leash, he'll lift his leg and start peeing (although he is aiming for outside of hte kennel). He does this every morning and every night. We tell him NO! but he keeps on peeing. My husband is ready to give him back to the adoption agency, but I think this is a problem that we can fix. Does anyone have any advice?

I have 3 dogs a Rott/lab mix, a pit/chihuahua mix, and a beagle/collie/jack russel mix. They are all older dogs and are all rescue dogs. My pit mix just started this today she won't leave my side, she is guarding her food, they all have their own bowls and will not go to the others bowl, they play fine together. They are all fixed so I know it has nothing to do with being in season. They have been together for a very long time. It isn't that I have a passion for aggressive dogs it is I have a passion for all animals and if I can help rescue them then I will. I just need some suggestions on how to stop her from doing this.

I have 3 dogs, a rottweiler/black lab mix, a pit bull/chihuahua mix, and a beagle/collie/ jack russel mix. All three of them have lived together for a long time. This morning my pit mix started guarding her food. She has never done that before, she has started growling at the other dogs but she is fine if I reach in front of her. She won't leave my side either. She is healthy and I have called the vet and they are puzzled about it. They each have their seperate bowls and they do not go near each others bowls, they share their toys and do not have a problem with that. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get her to stop?

I may be adopting a small dog, but I'm need to know how much time I'm going to have to be at home and how long I'm going to be able to leave her. I don't work full-time but will have to leave her in the house 4 or 5 hours a few times a week. There may be a couple of occasions that I need to leave her longer, maybe 7 or 8 hours, but only rarely. Is this fair? Some people I've spoken to say it's cruel to leave a dog alone for so long, others say it's fine as long as she's got space and toys and somewhere to 'go', and I take her for lots of walks and look after her when I am there. What do you think? Don't want to take her on if I'm going to be doing something that isn't good for her! Advice from more experienced dog owners would be much appreciated.

I have just received a cocker spaniel she is almost 7 years old. She was kept in a kennel her whole life and used for breeding. Is there any way to house break her at this age or teach her that it is ok to play? She is a very active dog and loves to go outside and walk but I can not get her to do number 2 outside. I am at my whits end with her. my husband loves her and does not want to have to get rid of her but I am the one home all the time with her and have to clean up after her. I am not sure what to do. I am scared my kitten will pick up on the scent and quit using her litter box. What do I do?

my dog does not like other dogs so does not go near them but if another dog comes up to her she will snarl to warn them away.If the other dog doesn't take the hint she will go for them.If she hurts another dog who is to blame?I usually pull her away from other dogs but should I let them fight and let them be dogs or should I keep her away from them?

I've heard that PETA believes it's wrong to own animals for entertainment purposes. Does that include having pet dogs or cats?

My wife and I really feel like our dog is a valued member of our family. She even gets a place at the table when we have dinner.

Does PETA believe we are holding her prisoner and that we should turn her lose? There's no way she could fend for herself in the wild!
