Is he still growing?
My rotti/mal mix "Bear" has weighed in at 91lbs for about 4 months. He's 13 months old right now. Is he done growing? Do dogs have growth spurts later on? He's on blue buffalo wilderness about 5 cups per day and is walked/gets runned for about an hour or two daily. He was neutered at 6 mon...

Re: Malamute mix
Nettle that's really useful, especially your explanation about how it's emotional. So I need to avoid any situations that might push him past his threshold? What I've been doing recently is when another dog walks by on path behind house and bear barks through fence I call him over distract him and g...

Re: Malamute mix
I wasn't labelling it as a breed problem nor was I saying all dogs within a breed will be a certain way, I'm just saying sometimes when an issue presents itself that doesn't gave an obvious environmental cause it is possible it may have something to do in part with the breeds nature

Re: Malamute mix
Thank you nettle, helpful. I understand what you're saying Carolina but the breed does play some role in how your dog develops to a greater or lesser degree. Where a retriever loves water a chihuahua might not be so keen and that may not be something someone could train. I think understanding the br...

Re: Out of control
Minkee that was very helpful thank you! I ended up buying a good quality hard plastic but slightly flexy black basket muzzle. He is able to drink pant etc without any problem. What I noticed however was when muzzled I was able to relax knowing he was more safe and could actually observe his body lan...

Malamute mix
Found out today my dog is likely a malamute rotti mix not a husky rotti mix, recently started having fairly major issues with dog on dog aggression with the exception of one dog (a female rotti) whom he's played with since 4 months of age. Anyone have any good advice or pointers specific to malamute...

Out of control
Brought bear to parents house today, while leashed walked him past same older lab he bit over water dish couple weeks ago. She was lying down completely relaxed and he was panting, smiling relaxed expression and bouncy step until literally passing by her at which point he snapped at her while growli...

Re: Dog on dog aggression? Help??
He was actually a really small gentle sort of man (even shorter than me) but him being unfamiliar might have had something to do with it. Though bear has seen him before when he came to chat with me for a couple hours. Thank you for the video link- like you I prefer visuals

Re: Barking back nonstop
Also, I had to resort to an adversive technique as the other option was to leave by my landlords order and find somewhere else to live. Granted I'm not in an ideal situation to own a dog but I found bear at the side of the 401 at roughly two months old in a cardboard box, I couldn't give him away ev...
