I adopted a 1 year old great dane from a friend of my daughters, the owner needed to get rid of him quickly, she dropped him off here at our home and i did not get much information as to how he had been raised.  He has been in my home for over a year now, but he is still always very scared of everything.  He cowards into corners, will knock you over to get out of the way of a fear, there is not one specific thing that spooks...

He appeared to be well trained though.  He has NEVER pooped or peed in my house, not even at first.  Recently though he has pooped in 3 different friends/relatives houses.  He definitely did not need to go as he usually had just pooped sometimes less than an hour...

Other than training we only use it for sleep (ie we do not use it for punishment). We have a "bedtime...

From my understanding she was abused and then adopted out for 10 months and the family could no longer could care for her. So she is in a loving home forever now! I have a 3 year old toy Yorkie and things are good between them. He uses his pee pad thats what he knows. I've been trying everything to get the new one Sammy to use it but I...

We have a 1 year old mix lab we rescued from the shelter two months ago. She is very bright, well behaved, and gets lots of walks and runs outside of the yard. The problem is she has a habit of escaping our fenced yard on occasion. We installed an invisible fence and trained her on it. The problem now is that any time she hears a beep, like the morning alarm, the microwave, the TV she runs and jumps in our lap.  How can we teach her...
