My chow chow is now one year and three months old...oh my...you have
your work cut out for you..unless you can devote 24/7 to your chow then
not a good pet for you..they need alot of attention..and training will
produce great results but you must start when they are puppies in a puppy
class then obedience classes..and keep them there...they are very stuborn
and want to do everything their way..so patience..if you have none then
your chow will take the alpha roll and dominate you..and this you do not
want..good luck...

Ok so my wiener dog won't stop crying she is 2 years old and we feed her regularly but she won't stop crying. Sometimes if one of her toys is under a blanket she does it but now she just randomly cries. Please help.

My rottie was the last of the litter, she loves everyone that walks into our house, if a robber came she'd lick them to death, she is scared of other dogs even little white fluffy ones, she is scared of the mower and the waves at the beach or anything that's loud really. We think she's scared of everything because she had a cone over her head when she was young because she had desexing and her extra toe removed. But she is a great and very very affectionate dog, may not be the best guard dog but the best, best friend ever.

My daughter has a 2 year old pitbull and she loves everyone but my husband. My husband has been loving toward her dog. The dog barks and is afraid to go near him for some odd reason. We have him feed her, walk her and everything else to help the dog stop barking. She will only get as close as an arm length from my husband and then runs scared. He has never raised his voice or hit her. We are bewildered. Before my daughter got the dog she was raised by a man that scolded her a lot. Does she remember this when it comes to a male figure although she loves other men/ boys just not my husband. Do you have any thoughts to the situation? Thanks

Wow... this is a really odd situation. Especially since your husband feeds, walks, plays with him. It may be that the dog really thinks he is her former owner but that is hard to believe. I wish I had an answer and Im very interested if you do. If you find an answer please let me know.

Please respond to my question if you have a solution for me!

You really need to contact cesar millan. He can help anybody. Dogs live in the moment. He will tell you that. He will tell you that she does not think of her past owner as your husband.

The reason why she behaves this way is because of the previous owner. She associates your husband as being her older owner. If an animal is abused they will associate negative experiences with somebody else. For instance if someone who always wears orange abused the animal then it is common that the animal will have problems trusting others who wear orange. This is something that will heal in time but it can take a while depending on how sensitive your animal is and how deep the abuse was.

Well... I have had lots of pit bulls in my life and I am only 1. So the solution is to get her to trust him first. Like let her come to him not the other way around. Let her have her own quiet place, preferably dark for her to go when she is scared and runs. Don't run after her. You can make it under a desk with a blanket draped over it. She will feel safe in there. If she does not come to him within one month, at least once then you can try having your husband around a corner out of her sight while you are walking her and bring her around the corner to see if she will react. Just test her a little bit. Don't push her. She will come to when she is ready. This all worked with my pit bulls. One other thing is find a more confident dog and tie them together with a rope about 3-4 feet away from each other and have that other dog come to your husband. First make sure that the two dogs get along before doing this. And the more confident dog will show your dog that your husband is safe not the bad guy. If you need more help find me on face book 'isabella marie blue' I have 2 facebooks so do both. And keep doing this until your dog comes to your husband by herself.

I just got a purebred AppleHead Chihuahua today, along with another mixed Chihuahua. Both are males. We already had a female mixed Chihuahua and are looking to breed her, but when I asked my roommate, he said she hasn't been in heat since he got her. Will we be able to breed or do we need to get another Chihuahua?
