My 2-year-old shepherd mix Rosie is great at home and at the dog park, but the second she sees another dog while she's on leash she goes completely ballistic. Barking, lunging, straining at the end of...
So Biscuit (3-year-old golden) has this thing where he steals exactly one sock from the laundry basket and carries it around the house for like 20 minutes before dropping it. He doesn't chew it,...
I want to share this in case anyone else is going through it with an older dog. My lab Buster turned 11 in February and earlier this year he started really struggling on walks. Getting up from his bed...
My 3-year-old yellow lab Tucker has been scratching at his ears nonstop for the past two weeks. Like constantly shaking his head and digging at both ears with his back paws. i checked and there's no...
I got my 10-week-old lab mix Pepper three weeks ago and i love her but the ankle biting when i walk is honestly making me dread moving around my own house. She latches on and i yelp, say no, redirect...
I have to share this because the first two weeks with Biscuit were honestly rough. She's 9 weeks old and weeks one and two felt like i was running on empty. She was up at 2am, 4am, sometimes both -...
My 3 year old border collie Flynn has always been a little excited by bikes but for the last few months it's escalated to something i'd genuinely describe as unmanageable. He lunges hard, screams...
My 3-year-old golden Biscuit has been leaving fur EVERYWHERE this past month. I vacuum literally every day and the couch still looks like it has a fur lining. This morning i found a tumbleweed under...
Six months ago I posted here absolutely terrified when we first brought Pepper home. Shelter said she had "unknown history" and was dog-reactive. The first week she hid under the bed for three solid...
Greta is 11, a yellow lab, and has had hip arthritis diagnosed since she was about 8. For the last year she was really struggling in the mornings - stiff getting up, not wanting to go on walks,...
My yellow lab Biscuit is 10 years old and for the past month or so she's been limping on her front left leg after we come back from our longer walks. It goes away after she rests for 20-30 minutes but...
My beagle Clementine has been on the same kibble brand since we got her at 8 weeks and she's done fine, but lately i've been deep in a rabbit hole about raw diets and i can't stop thinking about it....
We brought home Duke from the shelter exactly 7 days ago. He's 3 years old, listed as a "pittie mix," and honestly he's a lot more dog than i expected. First two days he just hid under the bed and...
We adopted Maya in January after fostering her for 6 weeks. She's a 4 year old hound mix from a rural shelter and had basically zero house experience - had never been on a leash, didn't know what...
So I got a new job and I start in 5 weeks. It's fully in-office, which I'm excited about, but I'm genuinely scared about what this means for my 3 year old lab, Huckleberry. I've been working from home...
Six months ago I genuinely could not walk my German Shorthaired Pointer Ruby past another dog without her losing her mind. We've been doing reactivity training consistently since January and yesterday...
We adopted Ranger in October. He was about 2 years old, had been in the shelter 4 months before us, and came with a long list of notes: reactive to other dogs, resource guarder, shuts down around loud...
Okay so i've had Biscuit for about 3 weeks now. She's 4 months old and absolutely the sweetest thing — but her teeth are WEAPONS. Every single time i try to pet her or play with her she just goes for...
wanted to share this because when i was in the thick of it i couldnt find many posts about what actually worked. Cooper is a 4-year-old rescue lab mix and when we first got him 8 months ago, we...
okay so Marigold is 2 years old now and still has this obsession with stealing socks. like we're talking she has a sixth sense for when someone takes their shoes off. she doesn't chew them, just...
