behavior

I'm in need of help with my 3 year old male bulldog. We have a few behavior problems but my most important one is the behavior towards our children. He growls and snaps at my 1 year old if he even comes near him. I'll give you a little background: Our bulldog has never really liked children...

....it feels like the longer the walks I take with Big, worst are the zoomies when we are back home! Since he's a 7 month old puppy with extra energy, there are days that I walk him for 30, 35 minutes in the evening and when we are back home, GOSH, he's crazy! lol! The goal is to tire him NOT...

Hi I am new here -4 years ago we got our first Bullie from a rescue. No one could age her as she had worn her teeth down to nubs but the best guess was she was 3 or 4 at the time. So now 7 or 8. She has been such an amazing addition to our family. Behavior wise a super star and health wise so...

:ohmy: As some of you may know our world has been turned upside down this last month, after "rescuing" my very abused sister from Ohio from her marriage, and getting her down here to FL. to live with us, til she gets on her feet. She has a Chihauhua that is 12 years old. Well UNFORTUNATELY she...

My female who is 2.5 has started peeing in her bed or on blankets. Last week she peed on her blankets on the couch! This is a new behavior. We took her crate away a month or so ago because she was becoming anti-social and hiding out in there. She has never done this before. I know it's not a...

Probably about 5 months ago, my dog was dripping blood while walking around. it wasn't in his pee. we took him to vet and after an ultrasound and urine analysis, the vet diagnosed it as a prolapsed urethra. the vet didn't tell us anything to help prevent it, even though we just spent 400...

Hello all! My EB is now 6 months old. Even though we clean him since we got him, at 8 weeks, it's been VERY difficult to clean and treat his tear stain. I tried with treats. I tried when he's sleeping (he wakes up). I tried with my husband holding him. Every time he shakes his head super fast...

My bully tends to run and then sit down suddenly like his butt is hurting him. I know he has done it in the past when he had a tail pocket irritation or when he was constipated. But sometimes I can't determine the reason and just wonder if it is a bulldog thing. It doesn't seem like normal...

Good day all, and happy new year to everyone! In a few different places I have ready that "extended petting" can lead to some behavioral issues with dogs. I have NOT seen evidence that this causes undesired behavior in Nelson, but wanted to see if others had feedback on this topic. At least a...

We first noticed it yesterday, Wally had some blood near his rectum… after we got a better look we noticed that the blood was coming from a spot near his rectum so I'm assuming that it is his anal gland. I called my vet, and since she was off yesterday we decided to bring him in this morning...

My 8mo old has recently starting digging or scratching the floor of his crate or the floor in general. Any suggestions on how to curb this behavior. Cat scratching mat maybe?

Long rant ahead... just need to get this out. we've been having issues with the neighbors next door since they moved in, about 6 months ago. They have a female german shepard and a tiny fenced in back yard that butts up to our yard (unfenced) so there is just a small chain link between us. It...

Hi everybody! I haven't been on here in a while. I am hoping I can get some suggestions and help with my little boy. Harley was diagnosed with "Behavioral Seizures" about 6 months ago. He had been doing some weird things that my other Bullies had never done; eating/chewing pebbles (or ANYTHING...

I am taking my husband on a three day trip to celebrate his birthday.. my sister always moves in to watch and take care of my furbabies.. I am a little nervous about it this time because of some behavior issues that my gucci has started doing, although she has learned that i don't tolerate it...

Our english bulldog gets so extremely excited when she meets a stranger that she starts pulling so hard and is not redirectable. I often have to pick her up and take her away but this is not correcting the behavior. I will kneel down behind her and hold her by the collar with my hands and ask...

Hi everyone, my family just got our first english bulldog, she is 9 weeks old and the cutest thing I have ever seen. I have had dogs growing up but my wife has never. We have had her for 3 days thus far. I want to crate train the puppy (never done that before) but from day 1 she absolutely...

10-18-15 Welcome Maggie #7! Maggie is only about 3 years old but those years have not been easy. Her original owner was a backyard breeder and maggie had one litter. Maggie was observed to be underweight and living in a dog house in the backyard. Good Samaritans facilitated her being surrendered...

Hey all! Last week I posted about a trip we were taking to Vermont, with Winslow, visiting family. Here's that thread. It was nuts, but overall a good experience. It might have been a lot less stressful if my husband hadn't gotten sick and STAYED HOME :hissy: last minute, but that's past...

The last 2 weekends have been busy for Bella and me. We have been "showing off" at various events. On Nov 28/29 there was 2 rings of FCI and 2 rings of Mysore Kennel Club (MKC). On Dec 05 there was 2 rings of Bangalore Canine Club (BCC). So a total of 6 rings. Results in summary FCI Ring 1 -...
