hi, my dog is a boxer crossbreed (maybe rottweiler) i am having a BIG problem with her - sometimes when i take her for a walk (3 times in last week) she grabs the lead and starts thrashing around with it in her mouth, jumping and even biting me.. it's VERY aggressive and it comes out the blue...

abel i just read this thread and am sitting at work wiping tears away!.. you must feel so so sad, but i think it's just completely normal and it's right to feel sad about abel; we had to send off a family dog we'd had for 17 years and gosh that felt awful but like you we knew it was the best...

following a blood test i have been told y'day that my dog (11 months) has calazar/leishmania. does anybody have any experience of this? on friday i am going to the vet to learn how to give her injections (apparently i will have to do this for 40 days) and then it is medication for life. i am...

dealing with aggression threads - please can you help? does anybody know how i can find an animal behaviourist in Athens, Greece? all the website contacts are U.S. and Australia. I could really do with some help...although my dog (11 months) is much better than she was months ago (been...

hi i'm just wondering if there is a connection between drinking salt water..strange behaviour. I took my 11 month old dog to the beach at the weekend and let her off the lead... she drank some seawater, as we were leaving her behaviour became very bad (jumping at lead and biting it, thrashing...

my dog was the same hi again, exactly...my dog as soon as she knew she was in trouble would get aggressive...really i had an identical situation to what you describe so i want to help you because i also was very nervous/scared... please try what i did: 1) don't tell the dog off... instead...

thank you so much for you reply because it has really settled my mind .... and your vet's advice on the two rabies vaccinations might be what i have to do - i will tell my vet. before i read your message i took my dog to the vet last night again and he gave her another rabies jab, he actually...

popping/aggressive?? i have a 11 month old boxer mix...sounds a bit similar to your situation. mine came at 2.5 months old - found her as a stray. now she is quite reformed BUT when younger (until couple of months ago) I had problems like yours and it is frightening. Mine would misbehave.. if...

seizures frightening to watch but don't worry it might help you to know that even full seizures aren't that bad..they LOOK awful and are very distressing but you can deal with them. My dog first had a seizure at 8 months old....it was a full on seizure not just a tremor and EXTREMELY...
