Our 13 month old lab behaves strange with some visitors too. Obviously we haven't had so many people come over lately so I'm a bit anxious about...
I have attended a few classes for leash behaviour and it's been really good. Number one: the treat has to be extraordinarily good (I use raw meat,...
I too have a feeling its boredom. Where we live it's illegal to set dogs free because it's birds' nesting time at the moment. We do try to take...
At 1 year old our teenager has made a 180 degree turn from being overexcited to lethargic on leash walks. We don't have many possibilities to let...
We have the exact same problem with our 10 month old. I thought it's not even ok to let the dog stare at other dogs and people in the distance,...
Does he calm down and sleep without the blanket when you are not at home? We had the same kind of issues and got an online camera to find out how...
To me that sounds like overstimulation. I would try to avoid engaging in this kind of play. Ignore the jumping biting action if possible, stand up...
Sounds like you are definitely on the right track! Its definitely a clear sign that the puppy is over threshold if it hurts when you give a treat...
We have had exactly the same issues with our pup, she is now 9 months and things are so much better now than 2 months ago. The worst period was...

Thanks, I like the idea of a vest. I haven't seen that on a dog here but I think that could be a good thing! I think the word nervous describes...
Thanks Sarah, and I apologise for the references to punishment! Just to clarify, I am pro positive reinforcement and I think my husband is too,...
Month later: I am successfully taking her out to walks but right now she's severely acting out to my husband, which she didn't do before! She is...
Hilda is almost 23 weeks and she's roughly 18 kg. Had tummy problems for a week just now so probably lost some weight.
Hope it goes well!
Just to give an update: the almost 6 month old lab is now a lot calmer, possibly also due to some tummy problems and a lack of energy. We have...
The trainer also instructed we should avoid her to succeed in pulling towards an interesting dog or a person. Instead, before we get too close,...
Thank you DizzyDaisy for sharing your experience! Positive reinforcement has helped for many issues, but with this I also need new pair of nerves...
Hi Poppy, it would be nice to hear from you again! Has the jumping and biting diminished and how are you coping with exciting situations now? I am...
