Comment on Pet Behavior Problems by director

Hi Jodi… I understand as both my dogs do this as well… there are a TON of great ideas and tips – click here and also maybe consider some basic obedience classes…. also teach the puppy SIT ( put a bucket of little treats near the door ) as people come in the house have them take out one of the treats and as the dog sits when people come through the door he’ll learn he’ll be rewarded it sounds like Mario is so excited to see your son he can’t control himself… this is a VERY COMMON but annoying problem with MANY dogs…. but should easily be trained to stop – esp. since Mario is young

hi there, our puppy–19 weeks old black lab “mario” gets so excited with my 6 yr old son and some adults that he jumps all over them and my worry is that he has scratched my son several times. he even scratched his eye once. we have tried saying “down” and i have had my son try to turn his back to him but he gets so excited and just wants to play that he is kinda of out of control for the first few minutes that he is freed from his crate. do you have any other suggestions?

I’m very sorry but if she is aggressive towards other animals she isn’t going to kennel well and none of the pitbull rescues would be willing to take her in because they all have multiple dogs have you tried the Boston Animal rescue League? They have the Center for shelter dogs in Boston….? maybe thats an option – they have a behavior team…

Hello
I Have owned a pit bull mix for about a year now.While shopping in Worcester the dog came bounding toward me.She hopped right in my car and pro ceded to lick me to death.She had no tags, she was filthy and so so so skinny.She was spayed though.I decided she needed a vet. He assumed she was about a yr old and had already had puppies.I checked her in with the vet and cops and waited for someone to claim her, no one called…..so i i kept her,it took alot of effort but this very wild dog became well trained and i loved her.
A few weeks ago i got hurt at work. a few days ago i had to have surgery on my spine,i wont be able to walk or work for months and I’ve had to move to my folks house,I cant bring her with me unfortunately because she is very violent towards other dogs and there are two older ones here,if i was mobile id muzzle her and do all i could to break that instinct,but i cant and i cant abandon her to a place where shes just another pit, shes a wonderful sweet companion and she deserves a good home. can you help?
