Cute Samoyed is actually a monster

I saw my huge dog, Diggy, bite people and even children. He doesn't even like them, he just bites them or even poops or pees on them. One child even got his favorite T-shirt seriously damaged because of Diggy! Fortunately, he's now at home arrest.

Haha tail chasing never gets old

Literally just watched my dog chase her tail for 10 minutes straight... never a dull moment with this silly floof. Does anyone else's dog do this or is mine just a derp? 😂

Dominance training...yay or nay?

Back in my day, we always used dominance-based training and our dogs were well-mannered and knew their place. Nowadays, all I hear is 'positive reinforcement' and 'force-free' methods. I'm open to change if it's really better for the dog. What're your opinions on this? Has the alpha dog theory been …

The importance of consistent training

Alright, here's the deal - consistent training is key. Pups thrive on routine and predictable consequences. If jumping on the couch gets a stern 'no' one day and a pat on the back the next, your furball's gonna get confused. Stick to your guns, use positive reinforcement when they do …

Stopping leash pulling—What finally worked for us

Anyone struggling with leash pulling? We've been there. Tried the haltis, the harnesses, you name it. What finally did it for us was the 'stop-and-go' method. Every time our pup started to pull, we'd stop moving until the leash was slack again. Took weeks of patience, but totally worth it. …

Why my dog's the boss and yours should be too

I let my terrier do whatever he wants. Sofa? His. Bed? His. Your dog should be the king of your castle too. Why train them? Let'em run wild, it's way more fun watching chaos ensue. LOL!

My neighbor's dog won't stop barking - I'm going insane!!

It's like, 5AM, and this dog has been barking for hours. I can't even. I've tried asking them nicely to do something about it, but NOPE. Nothing's changed. Do I call the cops? Animal control? Somebody save me from this nightmare.
