The dog seems friendly towards the cat but the cat is not. I am afraid my cat will run away - we have had him for 5 years from a kitten.

Dog Lover asked:


I’m not a first time dog owner, but I’m curious to see what people would suggest to one that is completely new to dog ownership?
Loving the answers so far! You guys have some good points as well.

Lillana: Actually there are quite a few smaller breeds of dogs who need quite a bit of exercise as well.

The own I just adopted is a Cocker Spaniel, very friendly while the current dog I have is a Dachshund. They are both males. I am worrying whether they will fight or not. I bringing the new dog home on Sunday. I hope they will get along fine.
My dachshund is an agressive-kind-of dog.

I have a 5 yr old dog and I just got a 10 month old dog. Every time I give them both a toy, the 10 month old steals all the toys. How do I get her to stop stealing toys, treats, etc from the 5 year old? I scold her, but she continues to steal.

I am planning on getting a dog, but I’ve never had one before and I don’t know the first thing about training. I want to train it so it doesn’t end up like my cousin’s dog who jumps all over people and barks at everything. I want my dog to be my buddy so please hook me up with some sort of DVD to give me the basics of training my new dog right.

I have an 8-9 year old Chihuahua and every time one of my relatives brings their dogs over, my dog gets feisty and starts barking uncontrollably at the other dog and tries to harm them. We want to get a new dog, but it’s impossible to have 2 dogs in the same house under these circumstances. How do I teach my dog to be nicer to other dogs?

emillielyy asked:


I have a male maltese mixed, 1 1/2 years old at home and recently adopted a new dog, a 3 years old male shih tzu. The problem is, the shih tzu basically does not get along with all dogs, not just my current maltese mixed. He’ll growl whenever a dog comes near him and even attempt to attack and bite other dogs. Since he is a rescued dog, I do not have any information of his past. He marks very often though I’ve tried to correct him many times.

How do teach him to be calmed and submissive when he’s around with other dogs?
