What should I do about my anti-social dog?


kutekittee109 asked:


I have a 4 year-old poodle/cockerspaniel mix. I've had him all his life since he's part of my dad's dog's first litter. He's social with any human unless he feels threatened but super anti-social with any dog. He's doesn't bite or even try to, he just growls and barks a lot. If the dog approaches him while he's mad, he turns into the coward he is and runs away. So technically he's harmless but I would like for him to get along with other dogs. We used to own a German Shepard/Labrador mix but she was mostly in a cage and he didn't mind unless she was loose. So she had the backyard to herself and he had the house. But now I want another pet and I've considered every animal I'm not allergic to. During my search I thought "Hey! Bambi should get a baby brother!" BUT...I don't know if that's exactly smart. What do you guys think?
Mind you, Bambi's fully trained (tells me when he needs "to go", asks for food politely, knows not to leave the house without permission even if the doors open...). His issue is dogs. Something I forgot to mention is that when he was little, he escaped and when we found him, another dog had bitten his ear and cornered him.

Need help correcting my dog barking at everything?


girl23 asked:


My dog barks too much. She just started this last month. She's an 8month old Pomeranian. Since she was little, she always look out from our screen door. She used to just look outside, now, she barks at every single thing. Like, when someone passes by, or when she sees our neighbor's dogs, she also barks when she hears another dog barking, when a paper or trash flies by near our door. My kid neighbors visits my dog everyday, looking at her from outside the door. My dog used to like this, now, she even barks at them. Sometimes, I don't even know what she's barking at!
This is driving us crazy! What I do is, to stop her barking, I'd carry her somewhere around the house, but, as soon as I let her go, she'd go back the door, and often, continue her barking.
I just want to know other tips to train her not to bark at the simplest things. Anti-barking collars aren't my option.
