We've had Allie for a little over a year. She's around 3 years old. For a good 10 months she was good in her crate (bathroom wise). She used to go nuts trying to get out but then we got her a better crate and that fixed that. For the past 2 months or so, she started to poop and pee in her...

thank you ELubas!

thank you for all the great responses. i'm sorry for the delay. i guess the email notifcations aren't working. i thought only one person replied and never knew about the rest! last saturday we had a behavorist come out to the house with his own pack of dogs. it was like watching the dog...

When we were in the adoption process of adopting Allie, we asked the foster how she was with other dogs. Where she was being fostered the dogs were kept in kennels. The foster mom told me that she didn't pay attention to the other dogs and when she was in the house with one of them she was...

thanks for the advice! she had a few days with full roam of the house until the gate came in (had to order an extra high one!) and she got into trouble those days. if she had been good, we would have left her out but she chewed up stuff and peed. we always leave her a kong with peanut...

we've had our girl for almost 4 months. she's 2. when we first got her, we crated her and she never went to the bathroom in her crate. after about 2 months, she started escaping her crate. no matter how secure we made it with zip ties and extra latches, she still found a way out. each time...

We rescued our boxer about 2 months ago. She’s around 2 years old. Up until about 2 weeks ago, getting her into her crate was the worst part of the day. She would run upstairs or avoid us. We’d have to carry her over and push her in which I know isn’t good but we had to go to work and just...

our trainer had us knee our boxer in the chest when she jumped on us. Not hard! it was more like we just put our knee out and she ran into it and sternly say no when she did it. as soon as all 4 paws hit the ground, give praise. we had to do it maybe 3-4 times but she doesn't do it anymore...

Hello, My husband and I adopted a 2 year old fawn girl in October. Her name is Allie. She's been a complete joy since we got her. She's extremely loving despite being abused in her past life. We don't know much about her past excpet that she was an owner surrender to a high kill shelter...
