Mee asked:


About four days ago I adopted a dog from a local shelter and he seemed to be fine around dogs there but whenever I take him for a walk and he sees another dog he growls. Its so embarrassing and I do my best to hold him back but then I just end up dragging him. He almost bit another dog a few days ago! Im really worried. PLEASE HELP!

My dog is really sweet and loving towards all humans, but really seems to hate other dogs. She always try to attack them on walks and I am not sure what is causing this. She is only a Jack Russel, and she is a female so we are worried that she might get injured one day by another dog. She has never even tried to bite any humans. We got her from the pound, and she is about 2 years old. I am thinking about taking her to a training school, to socialize with other dogs. Do you think I should?

My dog does not need as much excercise as she used to. She’s inside from 7 a.m to 4:30 p.m and she used to need at least two hours, not continously, of walking before she would go to sleep at 8 p.m. Now all she needs is two thrity minute walks and she’s ready for sleep. She’s been like this for about a month and she’s nearly 7 years old. She is a mixed breed, stocky build but usually high energy dog about 60 pounds. Is this something I should be worried about?

I’ve had my dog for about 2 months now. I rescued him from a shelter, he came from an abusive background but he’s a great dog. He’s very aggressive with other dogs though. He growls when he’s near them and I’ve learned that it’s because he wants to get to know them but he doesn’t “introduce” himself properly. A month ago, he was attacked by another dog and it was horrible. I thought he was going to get killed. Thankfully, that didn’t happen but now I’m so afraid when I take him for walks or to the park. I feel like something like that will happen again and I won’t be able to get him out of the situation. The minute I see another dog, I take my dog and we leave. I can’t even enjoy my time out with him because I’m constantly looking for other dogs. What should I do?

Rocker asked:


I LOVE big dogs, but I have always had small- medium dogs because they do better running around the house and wear out easier on walks.

However, I am realizing that my theory is not accurate as some smaller dogs, like say a beagle are just have crazy energy and some bigger dogs, like Newfoundland dogs are lazy.

Am I wrong to avoid bigger dogs while I have kids due to thinking that they are higher maintence?
