since your dog is a BC mix it´s prob cuz he is bored.. bc´s require alot of mental stimulance.. as someone already said he needs a job *S* let him use his brain and also teach him how to relax in different sits. good luck.

i didnt read all the answers you´ve gotten but i´m so sick of ppl seeing crating as the only way to go.. i dont know how old your dog is or how active you are with him, but it sounds to me like he´s just understimulated.. crating will for sure provent the damage to furniture and what not...

defensive much ??? keeping an animal in a cage all day long is cruel no matter how you look at it.. a dog should be allowed to move around ..and not only on walks. i still dont have a problem with an hour or so but all day long, every day, is just plain wrong. dont have anything more...

well in sweden ( where i live ) it is agaist the law.. and i´m pretty sure we arnt alone. i have no problem with having dogs crated whilst in a car.. in fact i belive thats the safest place for them in a car.. neither do i have a problem with crating if it´s for a shorter periode of time. i...

i feel sorry for your dog... i wish you all the luck in the world with her and as far on my feelings on crating.. all i´ll say is that there is a reason why alot of countries have laws agaist it, + she prob got enough of that in the pet store. just wanna add that i dont judge you.. i...

the thing is, i think alot of dogs are "dog aggressive" simply B-cuz ppl are so afraid of any little sign of what they think is aggression that they dont give the dog a chance to learn how to act around other dogs.. you should start when the dog is young.. my male dog didnt get to play with a...

omg he´s still a young dog .. almost a puppy still, i doubt he´s aggressive..most likely just insecure and if he had gotten a chance to go over to the smaller dogs and check them out it would have been a non issue by now.

hmmm.. should i even go there..? well all i´ll say is that there is a reason why pinch collars are illegal in many countries. Moving on *S* if the dob you are Getting is a pup ( is it ?) then there is no reason why you should need to use anykind of special collar.. some good old fashioned...

why not try teaching him to stay out ??? GOOD GOD why are some ppl always looking for ways to not have to do the work.. why not close the door ( if you have one) alt. get a ( what do you call it ?? ) like a small fence while you are working on it... there are kinder ways. ps. not trying...

carolyn is right.. you have moved too fast for her.. just slooow down and take babysteps. ex: start at home (as carolyn has said) just you and her, sounds like you should start with getting her undivided attention.. one way is to hold a treat in your hand and not giving it to her untill she...

thanx !:) yeah rocco ( lab mix) is truly an old soul at times he acts like a grumpy old man *Lol*

my youngest sister with my dogs .. quira ( the pit mix ) looks huge but she is really kinda small..

not sure about the rules in the us ( is that where your from ? ) but you should´nt take a puppy away from it´s mother untill it´s 8weeks ( i would wait maybe 9.. ) i know it´s too late now ... as sum1 else wrote.. treats are great for this when ever your pup looks at you.. call it´s name and...

not crying so much anymore and he was just out for an evening poop lol Hubby carried him out to the bushes and he walked back home on his own, i´m guessing all the wonderful smells blurred out the pain for a few minutes ( i know he shoulndt been walking but he looked happy for the first time all...
