My dog Dakota is a Rottweiler German shepherd/ Sib.Husky

She guards everything. Her dog food,her bowl,her toys especially from my other dog Duke.

Its hard to get him to play inside if she is guarding the toys even if she isn't playing with it.


Is there any way to solve this?

I always take them from her if she is guarding something she don't need like the dog food.

they bark a lot at night, i think its because their not doing much during the day, so that their never tired at night (only sometimes they are) what can i do to drain their energy during the day so they can sleep at night, im at school from 7 to 3 so i cant spend time with them during that period of time

I've had her since she was born basically, but have only had her as a house dog since she was about 3-4 months old. She was always a skiddish puppy. She's 11 months old now and although she's gotten a little bit better, she still freaks out if I make any sudden movements. She will not come when I tell her to. She cowers when I go to pet her, and then when I pet her, she's okay. She will not sit in my lap or anything of that nature.

My miniature male poodle, Ollie, is one year old. After serious consideraton, we have recently adopted Ollie's brother from an elderly woman. So now we have Ollie and Danny Boy, who are brothers. Ollie is not neutered and Danny Boy is neutered. Ollie will not stop humping Danny Boy. Ollie is going nuts and is wild until he is left to hump Danny Boy. We love both of them and need a solution to the problem. Help!

Hi obviously from the question I have a dog that needs to be potty trained. Well actually its more like she knows where she's suppose to pee and stuff but sometimes she just does her wastes on the carpet! (i guess its the same as needing to be potty trained tho lol) It really makes my parents angry and I'm scared they might give her away!! So i was wondering if you could give me some advice ><" I would be REALLY grateful! ♥ Oh and she's around 1 1/2 years old and she's a maltese ^^ Please and Thank you! ♥♥

The problem is that I live in rural Wyoming and the closest store that carries it is over 2 hrs away. Does anyone know a place online that I could get it, that the shipping isn't as much as the food itself? I can afford the food but not if I have to pay twice the amount to get it to me.

Just so you know I'm not asking if it is a good food, I already know it is; just where I can get it at good shipping prices.

My condo is 2400 square and the longest my dog will be left alone perday is 4-5 hours. I don't want a dog that sheads or smells and I'm looking for a small to medium sized dog. Theres is a large park near by so I will be able to give my dog a suffient amount of exercise. The dog will not be around children regularly but if It does come in contract I don't want it to attack them either. I don't live in the best neighborhood either so if someone attempts to break in when I'm not there, I'd live the dog to be able to scare off intruders. What do you recomend?

I have a Lab mix and I have problems controlling its barking (has very loud barking-can get annoying) and bringing it under control when it gets very excited when it sees a visitor. I did simple training for my dog myself-he knowsw how to sit, down,stand and even jumps through hula hoops(when he feels like doing!). But he only does it when he is alone with me at home.When he goes out, he seems to forget even basic commands such as sit and it gets on my nerves when he always drags me around when he is on the leash.Please help me understand my dog and train him properly! Thanks in advance!

I found a 8 wk old puppy chi, took him to the vet, told me that he has head trauma and can barely see. made an apt for a week later. During that week, the puppy had a seizure. Took him back to the vet on his scheduled appt. Informed me that his eyesight was a little better, gave him a parvo shot and told me to keep a journal of when he has the seizures & for how long. He has been whining on & off since, had a seizure everyday since the vet visit that last a min. & tonight he had two. He was hacking after his last seizure like he had a hairball. He doesn't have an appt. until 3 weeks from now. Are these getting a little excessive to wait? Any info that can help us with his condition would be greatly appreciated. I don't know if he should be living like this....

I have one already and want to get another...

mine:
-only barks when someone walks up my verandah
-is house trained
-doesn't bite/chew people/items
-never runs away
pretty much the perfect dog. Yesterday I met my friends dog who is also a girl and desexed- however bites, barks, can't get picked up etc.

What are my chances of getting a chihuahua pup who can learn my currents dogs 'culture'. Or does it simply come down to individual dogs personalities?

My small dog is eating the cats food instead of his own. I want to try putting it up, like on the dryer (which would make it still available to the cats). Has anyone else had this problem? What have you tried? What has worked?
