Max has never been too excited about his crate. He will willingly go in if we have to leave him for a bit though and has no problem being in...
johmmywalker thank you for the reminder to relax and the positive post. I think you're absolutely right, it's so easy to get frustrated and to to...
We always keep him at a sit stay prior to placing his bowl down. I think he must have gotten over excited and released himself from his stay...
And when I said revoking, I actually meant to say rehoming. I knew I should have reread that post. Stupid auto correct on cell phones.
Thanks again for all your replies. I hate to admit that my boyfriend and I have very reluctantly entertained the idea of revoking Max to someone...
I guess what upsets me most is that it was just so unexpected. He is not food aggressive by any means. He will lay on his back and let us kiss...
Thank you for your responses. He's never shown any food aggression in the past. We always have him in a sit stay prior to placing his food bowl...
I am at a loss. We thought we were making major headway with Max but he bit my boyfriend in the face today (broke skin) when he went to go place...
He is still just a puppy yet, have patience. In regards to going to the bathroom indoors, I would recommend leaving the doors closed and taking...
Somehow I only have one pair of ripped pajamas from Max from when we first got him. I think he preferred the carpet, much tastier.
Oh my gosh! Max did that to one of his old blankes too!! And thank you for the reassurance Master Bowie! Max does have his good moments! I just...

On a good note, Max has been superb with all the dogs we've recently met. That was another one we weren't 100% sure about. He met a 125lb...
You could also try starting out with the pan outside and once he gets used to that, remove the pan outside. Placing the pan within a pen outside...
I definitely plan on being more adamant about asking people not to let their children pet Max. I know if we work on desensitizing him to children...
Max's first few puppy classes he barked Non stop and had a hard time keeping focus but I constantly kept throwing treats on the ground from my...
Thank you everyone for your replies! I planned first to simply have the kids toss treats over the gate and maybe just simply watch the two kids...
I know someone who's dog got into some weed and he reacted exactly the same way. I am by no means saying he got it from either of you, maybe on...
it makes it that much more difficult when parents encourage their children to walk up and pet unfamiliar dogs. Not to place all the blame on the...
I felt as though I was fairly experienced with dogs prior to having max; growing up with them my whole life and having one of my own from...
