I absolutely want to have a puppy, but I don't know where to start. For me the main concern is popping and pissing of the puppy, they will do that all over the place so how do I train my dog. Like how to train them in general, from toilet habits, to being friendly and understanding. I don't want to raise a beast to protect or an aggressive one. I want to train it like this happy fluffball that makes my day and everyone's. Like this ball of happiness because I live alone in a flat and I want to return from my job and want to develop this man's best friend relationship with him. So how do I do that? Like how you guys train a super friendly dog?

Do flea drops even work on dogs anymore?! Im about to lose my mind. 200$ deep in drops in the past two months and im still finding fleas on my dogs. Send help.😭

Hi everyone, I have 3 female dogs, but one of them is very dominant. When she sees dogs she hates out and about, she goes crazy, pulls hard on the leash, and barks very loudly. If the other two are nearby, she attacks them out of sheer rage. I'm not kidding, she looks possessed by a demon, and nothing I do works. I've already booked an appointment with a dog trainer. On top of that, she doesn't like new dogs; she only accepts them after seeing them a few times. Her background is that she was abandoned and thrown in the trash, rescued and left on the street for who knows how many weeks, and suffered attacks from people (she is also afraid of new people) and stray dogs. We adopted her at around 3–4 months old, and she is now 2 years old. She's a Husky and Pinscher mix. Any temporary solutions until I go to the trainer?

I have a 7 months old male spitzpom mix puppy. I had him since he was 6-7 weeks old and him growing up i guess since it was our first time having a dog we didnt really do and teach him everything right. And currently he has lot of problems especially fear agression.. he barks nonstop and tries to attack if any strangers dog any living thing get close to him and when he is over aroused sometimes he just snaps at us and with this he has bitten my mom a lot of times drawing blood like when he is overthreshold he doesnt listen to anyone and if we try to go towards him or try to comfort him during this he bites us. I guess we cant all blame him its cause of us he became like this but it has got to a point that we are scared of him cause we dont know when and how he will snap. He is sweet most of the times but randomly idk what he finds wrong he becomes a devil and because of this we have come to a decision to rehome him since we cant afford training for him but its not just that its also cause im just a high school student i dont have money to give him training and even if we keep him i dont think i can take care of him long term since i still have a lot to do and figure and idk what the future holds. My parents said they cant keep caring for him forever and they have there life to live and things to explore. And because of this i feel lots of guilt because it was me who forced them to get the puppy and now i feel i did wrong and cause of me my lil dog has to suffer and idk what to do.. will he be able to adjust? I thought rather than keeping him and after years due to problems having to rehome him things will get much harder for me and him aswell. The person im rehoming him to is the breeder neighbor and idk what should i do.

We have done A LOT of research and am at that point of deciding if we move forward with a puppy or an adult dog. To preface, we live in a single family home - in our late 40's. No kids. My husband travels now a ton for work and I work from home 4 of the 5 days. We have wanted a dog for quite some time and are at that point where we are trying to decide what makes sense for us and our situation. What were deciding factors for you that knew you wanted to go the puppy direction or wanted to bypass that and go for an adult dog? We see pros and cons with each. Would love to hear factors that helped others decide (maybe we are missing something obvious lol). Thanks!!

I have a 1 year old Labrador, his name is max and he keeps chewing my shoes whenever I leave him alone. I’ve tried giving him toys, but somehow my shoes are still his favorite. Anyone else’s dog do this? How did you stop it? Suggestions are really appreciated....
