When I give my shepherd the command to "stay" at a distance, she always wants to come to me. If I give her a "sit" or "down" command at a distance, she obeys. Probably sitting or downing at a distance is better than standing, but in basic ... | |
Hi, I just got an adorable new puppy. He's just beautiful and has a very sweet disposition. I am trying to crate-train him and a friend of mine who is experienced with dogs recommended letting him sleep in another room inside the crate. The poor ... | |
Hello, I have a 7 week-old Akita/husky mix. She has a great personality, and I am hoping to keep it that way. I have read that crate training can be harmful to a dog's mentality. Furthermore, I would feel guilty about leaving her in cage when she ... | |
Hi, I was wondering how to get my two budgies onto their playgym. I can get them out of the cage with treats, but whenever I try to get them on the gym, they panic and run around on the floor. I have a Vision cage with a stand, so it might be the ... | |

how can I stop my dog from barking at noises he hears (both outside and inside noises). I have tried to teach the quiet command with treats, tried using a spray bottle with cold water and even resorted to trying to hold his mouth closed on a few ... | |
