dogs

So my poor little 3-year-old 14 pound Chihuahua/dachshund mix refuses to wear a sweater or coat. Like if you put it on him, he will put his tail between his legs and refuse to move. He’ll just stand there until he falls over and then he’ll just lay there until you take it back off....

About a year ago, I adopted a 2nd dog. For the most part they get along pretty well. They like to play together and for the most part they play well together....

Every day when I get home from work, I get down on the floor to greet our bulldog, and she sneezes directly into my face. I want to be clear that this is not the typical playful half-sneezes that some dogs do, although she does do that with other people. This is an intense, wet, genuine sneeze....

I know this is probably preaching to the choir, but I was just baffled by this issue....

Our dog Pepper is 8 years old. When I was away at college, my sister promised that she would train Pepper, but my family didn’t really help her, and by the time I got back, Pepper was becoming untrainable. Now she is untrained....

I was paying extra attention to this the last 3 days and i noticed that about 8 of 10 people: hold their dogs close preemptively (most of the time nothing happens wiht those) dogs bork and need to be held back people cross to the other side...

I’m dog sitting a few times a week (same dog), and he loves chewing up cardboard. He doesn’t eat it or anything, just makes a huge mess. He has nylabones and similar chew toys, but he’s not very interested in them. He seems to prefer things he can rip to shreds easily. Any idea what sorts of toys would be a good...

My dog is a borador, with a short double layer coat. In the summer we’d have the air conditioning on and even then she wasn’t much of a snuggler because she’d overheat. Now with the colder temperatures setting in I keep a blanket and/or a sweater on me at all times. She can’t even snuggle for 5 minutes without needing to...

For the past several months I’ve been walking my dog (Cocker Spaniel) at least twice a day. We usually get about 2 total miles in. My neighborhood is an old racetrack and it’s a nice walking route....

Sounds bad to be so judgemental, but day after day at the park, the most misbehaved dogs tend to be owned by those who sit at dog parks and chat, smoke, bring random lawn chairs etc…...

I have a 1 year old Bichon Frise and she cannot stand the sight of someone using their phone. It’s not even when she was already trying to play with you and you pull out your phone, she can be laying on the coffee table while you’re on the couch, she’d be doing her own thing, but the instant you start using your phone she...

We have a great pyrenees we adopted a few months ago and while he’s the sweetest dog and we love him he has the issue mentioned in the title. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone he just runs up to/in front of them and barks at them. If they happen to stop he just barks at/sniffs them. Since he’s a pyrenees I’d imagine this...

He doesn’t hurt me at all, just likes placing my arm in his mouth. It seems to make him very happy. Anyone else experienced this?

I recently adopted an adult dog. She’s sweet, affectionate, and well behaved. But it seems like the only thing she cares about is scritches! She’s either sleeping or shoving her head into your hands for attention. She doesn’t care about toys, or food, or anything else I give her. I can’t teach her games since the only...

She knows me since my parents got her. I never lived with them, though. Sometimes she’s playful and loving and other times she’s angry and trying not to let me into the house.

I find it necessary. Dogs are not allowed to walk around with eye boogers.

I tried to research this but couldn’t find much information. I have a one year old Bichon Frise who is extremely attached to me and my family, and she has pretty bad separation anxiety (technically a pandemic puppy). Usually, at least one of us is home 24/7 thanks to remote work so that’s what she’s used to....

I have three small dogs. The heaviest being 8kg...

I don’t know how to explain it, I’m just kind of over her. I guess I’m burned out or something and find myself having a really short fuse. Does this happen to you? I’m really not sure where it’s coming from, it’s been going on the last three days. It’s for no particular reason. I’m sure it’ll pass, but I feel...

He’s been with us about two weeks now and still learning some of his manners. He’s also a nut.

I lived with my grandparents for a time a few years back, and they had a Pomeranian named Ginger. She was a little shit, honestly, but she brought my grandparents some happiness, and for that I tolerated her. She wasn't all bad, just ill-trained (and a bit ill-tempered)....
