aggression

Hi all, Wondering if anyone can help. We have a 1 year old rescue toy poodle who had an awful start in life. When we got him he was terrified of everything, skinny and just generally in poor health. We’ve had him 6 months and he’s put on weight and is much less scared of life! To help with...

Our 1yo male shih-tzu sometimes barks & growls aggressively at other dogs, particularly bigger dogs. What is the best way to deal with this behaviour? Any advice most appreciated.

Hi, sorry this is long but I don’t know what more I can do and could really do with some advice. I have a 10 year old border collie and a 4 year old daughter and I don’t think he likes her at all. The first night we brought her home as a newborn he was acting really weird and was practically...

Hi all, I’m desperately looking for help with our 9 year old cockapoo. She’s always been demanding but in the last year she’s taken to barking constantly when she wants something or what’s attention. We’ve tried ignoring it but she literally barks for 10 minutes until we give up and separate...

Hi, I have a 5 year old female rescue dog. When we got her, she was scared of most dogs and used to try and run when she had to cross paths with them. But recently she’s switched from cowering to being aggressive (which I still believe is fear-based). When she sees another dog she growls...

At the end of May I got a new puppy - A Collie x Scottish terrier X Kelpie. He was sold to me at a few months old ( now 8 months ) as his previous owner could not cope with him anymore & I must admit he was an absolute reckless puppy! Anyway, after a few weeks of training he is so much better...

Hi, I have a 5 year old rescue cross-breed (our guess is Jack Russell / Staffy) and she's suddenly become aggressive towards other dogs in the past couple of weeks. She used to be friendly with all dogs, but now growls and snarls at dogs who are far away as soon as she sees them, and lunges at...

I have a cross pug x poodle x Russell who is 16 weeks old (4months), we have only had him for 6 weeks and he has recently started going for walks after his final jab clearance last week. Since this we have noticed a change in his behaviour, most of the time he is lovely and cuddly and perfect...

Hello, I’m sure this has been addressed elsewhere but I couldn’t find anything that fit our situation. I’m looking for advice or people who’ve had similar experiences and positive outcomes. Please bear with me whilst I give as full an account as possible! Our dog is an intact male 2 year old...

Donnie is a 6 year old shih tzu whom I’ve had since he was 6 weeks old but we’ve been having problems recently. His hair has grown out pretty long and I haven’t washed him in a few weeks but I’ve noticed he’s got a load of poo around his anus which he used to get when he was younger quite a lot...
