I just adopted a sheba inu from the pound. She is 6 months old ..
Typically well behaved, she knows knows basic commands.
I need to correct some behavior issues that have just started to surface. Aggressive to other dog and people. When not provoked. and potty issues..not always telling me she needs out. Even going on the couch.any help would be appreciated.

My golden doodle is 10 and about 3 to 4 years ago she started to show aggressive signs to other dogs while walking her, she loves people. I hesitate to let her get close to another dog. Before that she enjoyed playing with all dogs.

In reply to Jeff Parris. I take my dog to bed with me and Greycee has slept with me since she came through the door. Never had any problems with her.

Hi Pippa,

I own a 6 year old female Golden (2/3) Cocker (1/3) which has been the most difficult of the four dogs we owned. Very determined to do things her way. Latest issue is she refuses to come when called. I’m worried we’ll be in a serious situation where I truly need her to come. Help! Thank you!

Hi Pippa

I’m really enjoying reading your articles. I compete in Rally Obedience in Australia with my Whippet. She is very keen to please when I have food rewards whilst training, but in the competition ring where food is not allowed, she will refuse to sit, down, etc. It’s very frustrating. I think I need to start rewarding her only intermittently and sometimes every 3rd behaviour, or the next time every 5th behaviour, etc – mixing it up. I’m just worried about doing it too quickly and destroying all we have achieved over the last 3 and a half years. Do you have any advice for me on training a Whippet, and how long you think I should take to reduce the food rewards? Thank you, Fran.

Please can you help. Loved the book. Puppy is adorable and 8 weeks old and his first week with us. First couple of nights his howling on us gowing to bed and leaving him in crate downstairs only lasted 20 mins and we went to him only when he had stopped and only twice in night for toilet but….. The last two nights he has howled for an hour and only way for some family members to get some sleep was by me going to him. I don’t want to reinforce a bad behaviour i.e. Howl gets attention but I can’t have whole family with no sleep. How do I break him out of this behaviour? Thanks in advance. Yours very tiredly!
