Hi, we are having ALOT of problems at home between our dogs. We have: 11 year old spayed female pit bull - K-C
6 year old female spayed female border collie mix - Tippy
4 year old intact female great Pyrenees mix - Izzy
9 month old Maltipoo intact male (for sale) - Billy
4 month old male red heeler intact.- Rocky

My dogs are Rocky and K-C. My moms dogs are Billy, Izzy and tippy.
The 1st problem is that Tippy constantly growls, if the other dogs walk by her kennel her food, when she is laying down and they go around her, if the is getting petted or even just walk in the room she will put her head down and growl. My mom lets her get away with this and wont say anything, she will even go as far as biting K-C heels when she walks, what Tippy does this K-C bites back at her, when mom breaks up the fight she yells at my dog for attacking her, and while mom yells at my dog Tippy keeps biting her heels.

2nd problem: Billy grabs all the bones in the house and puts them on the couch. When Rocky wants one, he will attack and bite his nose, Billy Takes them right from Rockys mouth. When Rocky Growls at Billy, mom yells at him. But then she does nothing when the little dog bites my dog.

Problem 3: The great pyrannes has proved herself un trust worthy around animals as she has killed a little dog and killed a cat, both of whom she knew for years. Yet, mom still insists she is "harmless"



None of moms dogs are obidiance trained, leash trained or have had ANY socalization. They growl at people and attack other dogs, and they are either inside in a kennel or outside in a kennel.

My dogs have formal obidiance and have CGC and other awards. The pupps is still learning. They come to calgary and have been from coast to coast and from north canada to florida.

Please help.
Billy is from a puppy mill. My mom tries to rescue dogs. I dont agree with it. It causes problems. That is how she got her 3 dogs. Both of mine came from good breeders.

Im not a bad owner.
I take care of my dogs, 2 4 hour walks a day. Raw diet, lots of attention.
Mom doesnt do anything with my dogs. I dont do anything with her dogs.

its not my fault her dogs are the way they are.
i cant neuter the heeler. The herding club in our area doesnt alow it. As does the breeder we bought him from cause she has half rights.

Answer
Asides from kicking your Mom and her dogs out (that's a joke by the way!) you need to put some obedience into her dogs! She needs to step up to the plate and realize this also and contribute to their training or give her dogs up to someone who will put the training into them. Or even though they are not your dogs, you could put some training into them. Definitely aside from getting rid of them the only solution I can see would be to train them and make sure they get their physical and mental stimulation, and sit down with your Mom and lay it down straight out how she needs to stop being naive and get training into her dogs. She needs to be correcting her dogs when they are out of line, and perhaps look to a proffesional dog trainer for a good base obedience and then keep it up. From what I get out of what you wrote she will reprimand your dogs more then hers?! And her dogs seem to be causing the most problems? I can imagine that this is causing alot of tension between the two of you also?!

MY PUPPY?? Home alone!!?

haloween g

My puppy very new to the world is soo young and, my family and I are going to Calgary tommorrow, there's no one to take care of her and she is too young to stay in a crate for 10 hours. What should I do?? Should I stay home, because we're going my best friends family that I haven't seen in FOREVER, and I'm really excited to see her.
We cant take her to Calgary cause where would she stay?
Calgary is about 24 hours away from us, we couldn't take her with us she'd get car sick!!

Answer
Well, there are a few solutions to your dillema. I am a fellow dog-owner and understand your fear. Since it's not very nice to put her in a crate for that long, and she can't have free reign of your house, you can A) Give her some part of the house (e.g. a somewhat small room, that she can roam around in) so she's not trapped, B) Take her to Calgary, if possible, C) Take her to the kennel D) Leave her home with a friend or E) worst case scenario, miss out on your Calgary trip.

I would highly disregard the kennel, unless it's a place that they let her be with other dogs. (PetSmart has a really nice kennel), although most vets provide this service.

Also, on an unrelated note, I hope you have fun seeing your friend!
