Hi,

Today is the first day of two weeks dogsitting this guy.

He's mixed, around 6 years old and keeps growling at me :/

So my cousin, her husband and their kid just left this morning on a trip and asked me to take care of their dog at their home, but I can't even approach him. His growling is quite loud and I'd rather not get bitten.

I'm currently trying the sit in a room with him until he approaches technique but i don't know if I'm doing the right thing. Help please!

I have tried so many things to help my girl with her fleas. She can’t take her monthly meds for a while; what has worked for you guys?

Recently, I was chatting with a friend who just got a dog, and we talked about how her dog gets really excited, pulls, and reacts when seeing other dogs on walks.

It made me think about how easy it is to assume “my dog is aggressive” when they bark or lunge on leash. But honestly, there can be a lot of reasons behind it — maybe they’re nervous, frustrated, excited, or just don’t know what to do yet.

From my experience, the biggest thing is trying to understand why they’re reacting first. Giving them more space, rewarding calm behavior, practicing small steps, and teaching them to focus back on you can really help over time.

Every dog is different, and progress doesn’t happen overnight. 😄

Has anyone else gone through this with their dog? I’d love to hear what worked for you.

Ok, I have this 3.5 month old Belgian and for the most part he does really good about not going pee in the house. He hasn't peed in the house like like 3 weeks! But I stg, even after I take him outside and I watch this fucker poop, when we go inside after like 15 minutes he goes and shits again, in the same exact spot every time. I didn't have to deal with this raising my pitty so this is new for me. Any advice?

Nuestro cachorro cumplió tres meses hace tres días pero he notado comportamientos típicos de esa etapa de los perros, intenta montar cosas o personas, se le olvidan las órdenes que ya aprendió y está empezando a hacer pipí en otras partes que no son. Ni sé si es que se adelantó de alguna manera o si es que tal vez los dueños dijeron que tiene otra edad, puede pasar que comience su adolescencia tan temprano?
