I need help with this really bad. I’m watching my cousin’s dog for a whole week and my dog is terrible around other dogs. He starts trying to bite the dog and then he just sits in a corner and cries for a little while. Any advice to make him like the dog, or at least behave around him? My dog’s a Golden Retriever, so of course he’s very loyal and I think he might be jealous of the dog. Please help! Thanks!

What is the best age to pick a puppy from the litter?

We are looking at a litter of 1/2 English, 1/2 American Labrador Puppies on Sat evening the 21st of April. (My husband works with the breeder).

The puppies will be 9 days old.

Should we pick our puppy right away based on appearance?

Or, should we go back later and pick a puppy when they have more personality?

This is our first time selecting a puppy from a litter, or a dog this young.

We have no clue if it even matters, so any advice is very welcome.

We are not new dog owners however, we are already owned by two lab mixes. One a year old and one 9 years.

Thank you!

One of my dogs has some social issues. She barks at the door bell, people and other dogs. She’s is very sweet to me though. Now we found a stray dog in our yard one day and had to help it. So now we have two and our first dog won’t get along with the stray dog. And we can’t give the stray dog away because no one will take him. If anyone has any advice on what I should do please help. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
