David,

While your dog is simply acting according to his nature, any aggression issue involving a large dog and a small child is potentially a very dangerous situation. I would advise finding a good dog behaviourist in your area and consulting with him or her. In the meantime, please keep your dog and your child physically seperated to protect both of them. These issues are simply too complex and the stakes are too high to resolve over the internet.

Hi, I just can’t seem to find out how to treat this. I have a five year old dog who about a year ago started taking stuff outside. Shoes, trash, face wash from the bathroom, books, bags, pillows, towels, blankets, anything she can get her hands on. I rarely ever catch her in the act, and I rarely ever see her carry anything in her mouth. I don’t know what to do! What do you recommend?

Our family has a 10 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback. Our 6 year old son continually shows his affection by putting his face too close to the dogs and does not respect the “sleeping dogs lie” rule. The dog reacted today with a bite to the top of the head. The behavior was not seen as it happened. The dog did not “attack” he appeared to retaliate for our son being invasive an then retreated remorsefully. Our son has ASD and understands the behavior antagonizes the dog, but gets overwhelmed showing his affection. Is there any reason to believe that the situation can be resolved with the dog and our son both existing in a healthy and safe environment? if so is there a course that can be reccomended to save the dog from an untimely departure from our home?

Comment on Teaching your dog to walk on a loose leash; alternate method by Debbie

So funny, my Buddy, mixed shepard,pitbull and lab is so aggressive on the leash(when i say aggessive I dont mean bitting or barking, just pulling hard. I took a chance and let him off one day, just the two of us. He stayed closer than I thought and waited when I said the word wait which he knows. Better off the leash than on, makes me wonder. It was a familiar area to him. When we headed back home i put him on the lease because my other dog will run home just because she knows that’s where were going. Does going somewhere and then backtracking have any infulence on the dogs obedience?

We have the exact same problem. Our Yorkie Poo is smaller (about 15 pounds), but he recently bit our nine year old hard in the upper thigh when she tried to get a sock back from him - broke skin some and made a big bruise. He will only drop things when I (the Dad) sternly commands him to drop. Also, he is overly aggressive when other dogs near our property. Plus he jumps and nips at small children if they are running and playing on our property. We have an electric fence around our property that he has been trained on and he understands and respects the boundary.

We are now going to work with him with a trainer, which we should have done before.

I was wondering if you had any update.

Thanks.

hi my name is Amber and I have a 5 year old Rottweiler.
Im not sure if you would know, but im having a dilemma with my dog.
I moved into a new house about a year ago, and the place is surrounded by hot wire fences. My dog has hit the fence many times and is scared to death of the yard now. She knows the fence is out there but doesnt seem to realize that the shock fence is only where the fence is. She refuses to go more than 3 or 4 steps off the porch to go to the bathroom unless i make her. Shes to the point where she will go to the bathroom in the house because shes so scared. Shes almost 5 years old and has never had any problems like this and Im just looking for advice. I’ve tried walking her into the yard far from the fence and laying with her and petting her and telling her its okay but as soon as i stop petting her she immeadiatly runs back to the house.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Thankyou for your time,
My name is Ron, and I have a 1 year old Press Canario who is Very calm layed back, and way to friendly. My main purpose for buying Mr. Biggs was to be an aggressive gaurd dog. Not to allow any and everyone to be able to walk up and play, pet, or even take him off his chain and take him away…I’m confused on how to handle my problem. I love my dog to death. What should I do to change his all to friendly ways. We live in columbia SC. Can you give me advice or point me into the rite direction. Also My boy doesn’t have propper paper work. Is it possible to obtain paper work If I have no contact with the breader who i bought him from???? Please respond!!!!!!
Thank’s
