So... Firstly, I'm a little confused about which dog is more in the wrong and which to correct. The Pit Bull (and mini Aussie) is mine so I'm mostly concerned about what I can do on his part, the Shih Tzu is not mine but I can train her if needed. I have a pit bull (3yrs old) who is kind of a...

Hi, I am new to Dobermans and the website and wondering if anyone could give some general training advice. I am in the UK and have a slightly odd situation where I have been looking after a neighbour’s Doberman for the last ten months - at first the owner and the bitch pup were both living with...

Hey guys! Just curious. My boy Haku is just over 8 weeks old and is being crate trained. He sleeps in the crate at night which is located in our bedroom. My boyfriend will put him in and sit outside the crate right when we go into bed. He will whine a bit but then settle down and sleep. He...

I have two 6mo old intact male littermates. We crate and rotate and that has worked out very well. They have long ear cuts and they are still in posts, so we don’t let them play together much unless they are on a “post break” letting their ears free. When they do play it is rough. We have them...
