My sweetie Indy has been showing regression in behavior. He is totally ignoring me and especially not coming when called. He used to listen well but now he is being so ornery. When we work on training he listens only if I have a treat. He is in an obedience class once a week and we work on...

Poty training has been great. Indy now 5 mos. has been awesome at going poty outside. He pees on command outside. Barks and rings the bell when he wants out. Now this past week he has had many accidents. No warning just pees. Still not in his crate or playpen. Only in kitchen and family room...

Thanks everyone..... Puppy tested positive for roundworm hookworm tapeworm and 2 other things I can't remember off the top of my head. Vet gave me 2 deworming meds and we are cleaning up the poo spots immediately and spraying spot with vinegar. Older boy is on trifexis so vet said he should be...

We brought home our new puppy yesterday. We have a 3 year old Sheltie who isn't very fond of him. He aggressive and snaps. We keep them separated now. This morning when I picked up new puppy's poop I discovered he has worms. We've never had this issue before. So he will be taken to vet...

Well Indy (puppy) came home yesterday. Disney is very aggressive. He barks at him in his mean bark. He won't take his eyes off him. And if Indy gets close he will lunge and try to snap. Indy is in an exercise pen so Disney can't get to him. Any suggestions on this transition would be appreciated.

We will be getting our new puppy next weekend! We currently have a 3 year old Sheltie named Disney. We lost our 15 year old Sheldon in May. Disney is still grieving..... We all are. But I am concerned about him. He hasn't played with toys and he just lays around. We have been taking him out...

Disney actually loves playing in the snow. He will dig a hole and bury his head and then pop his head up with a snowy face. I think it's just the cold that he is having the problem with. Too cold on his paws! Also all the pee spots get coverd every other day by more snow and the scent is gone...

Thanks for the replies. I've had him in the kitchen all day and took him out every hour. Nothing all day. Then he accidentally got out when someone came home. I thought I was watching the whole time but he snuck into the LR and did both:confused2: Such a booger. He held it all day. It's...

Disney is almost 1 and has been housebroken since 7 months. I live in Indiana and we have a lot of snow and it's very cold. Since the snow came Dis has been sneaking in our Living room and going poop and pee. We have resorted to keeping him confined to the kitchen. When I let him out in the...

My sweet Disney is 10 mo now and has a very odd behavior that I haven't seen in my other two boys. We call them fits. When he wants something he goes into a howling barking fit. It last for about a minute or two with a combo of loud barking and howling. We have tried ignoring. Just walking away...

Ok a little advice is needed. Disney is 7 mos old and going through terrible two's. He will not leave Sheldon (12 yrs) alone. He wants to play and grabs ahold of Sheldon's tail and pulls. Puts his bottom in his face. Bites his back legs and ears. It's constant. We were told let Sheldon work it...

No skin irritation or fleas. He does bite and scratch some for really no reason. So I wonder if its just his nervous system developing. He is very healty otherwise. I just wonder about allergies too. Hope that isn't the case.

Disney my 7 mo old sable has been having muscle twitching. He will be sitting or standing still and you can see his back muscle contract. It is happening quite a bit lately. Is that something to be worried about or is it just something growing puppies experience. He is my third sheltie and I've...

Disney my beautiful 4 month old sable is doing great at potty training. He whines at the door he has never pottied in his crate. The only issue we have is that when we are in the basement he pees and poops on the floor. It's been about a week since he last had an accident upstairs but every...

Hello, My Daughter Lily who is 11 is very interested in learning about obedience and would like to get started in Rally. We will get our new puppy in 2 weeks and I was wondering if there are any suggestions on how to get started in this sport? She really hasn't showed an interest in...
