Ok is there a terrible twos for dogs?
Ok I have a 1 yr old american pitbull terrier mix.. I put a lot of time into him,people cant believe how well he listens to me. Well when he has to go out all i do is open the door and let him out "we have an acre of land" usually all i have to do for him to come in is open the door and call his name and he comes running. Not this past week, I call him he doesnt come so i walk out there and he runs the other way, he did this as a puppy, I will not go chase him i make him come sit next to me. Last week he was out near the road, thank goodness we live on a back road where there is hardly any cars but thats not the point when we come in from not listening he goes in his crate and i have been putting a leash on him. Also when he comes to me he gets a treat when he comes inside. I just wanna know did this ever happen where they stopped their bad behaviors and started them again.. Its very frustrating, but am working with him!

7 AnswersDogs1 decade agoquestion about aggression?
Ok i have an american pitbull terrier mix, we go and visit his cousin often,he is an american pitbull terrier. We found out his cousin is treat aggressive, so we feed them in different rooms. Yesterday Rozko "mine" acted aggressive when they were playing tug a war. Yes it was lil visious growl and i yelled hey and took the toy away. When they were lil they use to share their bones and toys. I dont understand why all the sudden they act like this...I dont wanna hear its the breed cuase they use to share everything. They would both have bones they would switch with each other and not care.. same with toys. Is there a way i could stop this behavior? We never leave them alone, always supervised. Be nice thanks
11 AnswersDogs1 decade agoam i going about this the right way?
Ok me and my friend got our puppies close together, so they could grow up together.They are american pitbull terriers mines mixed. Well I bring my puppy over alot, so they have each other to play with. I recently bought them both bones they ate them in their own crates. After about half an hour took them out of their crates. (they would eat the bones till they are gone) well anyway they were out of the crates and my puppy was by his crate my friends dog went after my puppy. I yelled HEY and seperated them.(it was because of the bone in my puppies crate) Nobody was hurt. My puppy hasnt been there back since. It scared me, dont want it to happen again. I love them both very much,but i think its best that my puppy stays home. Im wondering what you would do in this situation? Nice answers only THANKS!

4 AnswersDogs1 decade ago2 males playing rough?
Ok me and my sister-in-law got our dogs close together so they can grow up together. The thing is they play rough, they love each other but there are times that they just nuge each other and play a lil rough. When they get too rough we seperate them. When i take them outside we play fetch let them run and play in the field. Are they going to always be rough or is this a puppy thing.. No mean answers. Thanks!
15 AnswersDogs1 decade agohes getting better at jumping but...?
Ok I posted a question before about jumping,we are working on it. When we go out i tell people to ignore him when he jumps.If he jumps on them they push him off and yell get off, I explain to them this is still attention. Or if you are in the middle of doing something he will jump on you to get your attention. Should i put him in his crate for the first few minutes untill he calms down or keep him on a leash. Hes doing wonderful but its the first few minutes of seeing his guests. Its kinda hard to teach him when they are giving him attention.. It gets quite frustrating,cause if you ignore him he will calm down.. any suggestions?

6 AnswersDogs1 decade agowhy is it that people judge the breed of your dog?
Ok people come on here to ask questions about their babies I see many people blame the breed for the problem. And they are mutts. No jumping,barking, nipping is normal behaviors that dogs have that us owners have to train them not to do. It has nothing to do with what breed or if its a mutt. Why is it nessicary for people to point out its a mutt, or its a bad breed?
