Hola César antes que nada quiero darte las felicidades por tu programa, es genial. El martes pasado me dieron a una cría de Scottish terrier hembra que tiene un mes y medio y es bastante juguetona, pero tiene un problema, que para jugar muerde y al tener los dientes afilados hace daño. Quiero corregirle este problema antes de que crezca para que este problema no se siga agrandando porque a medida que vaya creciendo si esto no cambia podremos tener serios problemas. Me gustaría que me ayudaras a corregir esa actitud y además como todavia no se le puede pasear porque le faltan vacunas me gustaría que aprendiese a hacer sus necesidades en el periódico y no tener que estar todo el día vigilando donde las hizo. Un cordial saludo y espero su respuesta pronto. Gracias.

I know of a dog who consistently howls any time someone leaves or goes over there. The dog also consistently whines too. I pretty much know why this is and I have done my best to "suggest" ideas to help with the situation, but they seem to disregard my ideas (your ideas). They felt it was due to the fact the mother dog died not too long ago, & they openly admitted that she had sever cancer and tumors, not to mention they admitted that the vet stated she was WELL over weight by 35lbs. And even when she came home from seeing the vet she was already struggling to walk. Yet they insisted on letting her out to the yard where there is easily 25-30 steps for her to go potty. Just be for this they had a cat that died & when taking to the vet because of trouble breathing, they stated that the vet said she had cancer in her lungs and that this could have been avoided if she was brought in 6 months ago. I really don't know how often they take any of their animals in. Before that they had the male dog who died of old age and just before that they had a puppy not even a year old die from something bursting through his stomach. Now they have bought another puppy to "help" the last dog out. Instead he seems even lonelier. They never talk them on walks, they don't really socialize with the dogs themselves, they consistently get upset cuz he his whining or howling, he always looks like he is afraid & sometimes he freaks out over a command to the point he yelps as if he is being beaten. He chews at his paws, he is locked up for a few hours at a time and then they just let him out into the fenced yard and leave him out there till he starts this yip bark. Sometimes this goes on for 30min. & they ignore it until they decide to let him in. I am also concerned about his health, as his feces are always on the "runny" side & in a spray pattern in the grass. He also has been know to have seizures. Which I know can be cause from nutrition deficiency. But when I mention what I have noticed and concern as to not "tell them what to do" but suggest something might be wrong, I am brushed aside. They blame the dog treats, yet they switched them over 2 months ago and everything is still the same. So far these issues are not far enough or large to be considered "abuse" but as far as I can see, to a degree it is. It's definitely neglect. I just don't know what to do and I feel for the animals and the new dog they just brought into the family which she is bored and finding nice things outside to entertain herself with if you know what I mean. But they don't fix the problem they just fix what she messed up so she can do it again next time. Example is she kept knocking over the water bucket, and then they would be out there for several hours, no water. Suggested to tie it down with a bungee to the fence, the response was, "well if it's over half full she can't knock it over". That is what I am dealing with, so do you think you can help?

I am physically limited and cannot walk without pain. Can I still use your methods to be a pack leader to my 5 dogs? What can I substitute for "the walk" that you tell us is so crucial?

Hi Cesar,

I have sent a few emails to you, yet no response. I have a 7 yr. old female Swedish Vallhund that does not use her nose for anything.

We go on walks every day twice a day for 45 mins. each time and she only uses her ears and her eyes. She has no desire to sniff anything, not even when it comes to food or treats.

You always say nose, eyes and ears. How can I help her to enjoy her dog life to the fulliest.

Also, she is very scared of thunderstorms and strong rain. Nothing can help her. I have tried distracting her with her favorite toys or treats, but she still shakes and cries. The only comforting thing for her is to be put in her crate.

Can you please help.

Thank you.

Hi Cesar, my female dog is 2 years old and when we try to wash her in the bath she's trying to run away.
How can we solve this problem?

Hi Cesar!
My boyfriend and I have been talking a lot about getting a dog and I have always known the importance in getting a dog to fit into the owners life style. I have been doing research; reading all about the dog breeds that we like to see if I could fine one. One problem is that my boyfriend is a bit afraid of dogs but wants one anyway. I am not the least afraid of them no matter how big they get but am beginning to think that it´s probably not a good idea to get one since he´s somewhat afraid. His parents had a dashhound and that was no problem but one can never know, that is, until it´s too late and I would NEVER want to put a dog in that position.
What do you think Cesar, dog or no dog in our future?
Thanks for a GREAT show and ALL you do for us all :)
Love,
Gigi

I recently purchased an illusion collar for my pitbull because she is such a puller when we walk. I put it on her and started to walk and it chokes her and she still pulls, I was afraid to continue because I thought it might hurt her throat. I am sure I followed the directions correctly but have not used it again. what am I doing wrong? thank you

Well my dog has all of the above sometimes he has all the symptoms at the same time and day,so it gets to a point that I really do not know what to do with him. He suffers from anxiety, aggression, territorial, obsession..you name it he suffers from that!!!As I wrote on my submittion I know you like challenges, this might be the one for you. I wish you could come to Panama, a lot of ppl love your work and obviously see ur show.. because you resolve all dogs problems! My dog has bitten all the people in the house, and whenever is time clean or pass by where he is at the moment he will try to bite you.. that right there is territorial problem. My dad takes him out 3 times a day, he can not see a dog because he will go crazy it does not matter if the other dog is passing by him or across the street or 2 blocks away he will bark and go crazy, he fights w/all sizes of dog, size for him does not matter.. he will go for it.!!! and is so embarrassing for me because when I go to the park all the dogs just disappear or the owners of the dogs will say.."llego el tigre de bengala...el terror del parque!" it sounds funny but I just can`t keep up with him. Other thing he does not like babies, or toddlers or older ppl. I always see your show n I try things with my dog but is useful, it just does not work!! If you could come to Panama will be the biggest blessing ever!!

Hi! I have 2 dogs: Rascal, my 2 year old Beagle Pointer and Rosco, my 6 year old Beagle Dioxin. My husband and I recently got married and we have been trying to train them to sleep outside the bedroom. Unfortunately I allowed them to sleep with me and it has been difficult for them. We tried closing the bedroom door and fixing their dog bed up, but they tore up their bed and would constantly make messes on our carpet.

Since they are crate trained we thought it would be a good idea to have them sleep in their "houses", but Rosco, my 6 year old, he would rock his crate. So we moved their houses to the bedroom thinking it less stressful for them. Rosco still tries to rock his crate and both he and Rascal start crying around 2 am.

I feel completely horrible and at a loss. We don't want them to have to sleep in their crate, but we don't want them to make a mess. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hello,

I have a beautiful 13 yo dog. She is G.Shep/G.Ret/Lab/Ret. For the first time she eat her poo. I have no idea why she would do this or why dogs in general to this.

If anyone can help or offer any advice, I would appreciate it.

Thank you

I am not going to directly ask Cesar, but rather anyone who reads this for some advice.

I have got a home with

• 3 Maltese's, 2 female and 1 male
• 1 Bouvier, female
• 1 hamster
• 1 love bird
• and 2 goldfish

The home has a large garden of about 1000m2 so they get lots of exercise, but I do not physically take them for walks.

So for Christmas my 2 little girls 10 and 9 asked for cats, I love cats and have always had cats and dogs that live quite well together, so off I went and got 2 kittens, they were great, we introduced them to all the dogs, and everyone except for the maltese male was fine with it, I had him on a lead at the time so no harm was done, over the next few days with the cats locked away in a room, I went 2 - 3 times a day with the dog on a lead to see if he got any better, he did not, he hated them. Then the inevitable happend, he got hold of one of them and bit it, not terribly, nothing life threatening but bad enough to turn the kitten into a nervous wreck. We spoke to a friend who wanted the cats and so we happily gave them to her, we see them all the time and they are great now, problem is that me and my girls would still like cats.

I have been toying with the idea of trying again, but this time I would like to get 2 adult female cats, this way they can fend for themselves, can run fast and climb a tree if needed, and should not be a threat to the maltese as they are female. Well after a week or so of thinking about it, my uncle was talking to me about him immigrating, and he just so happens to have 2 female cats about 3 years old, that he has asked me to take, as he had tried and no body wanted them. So now we have them in our house with our aggressive maltese, and they have only been there 2 days, so they are still locked in a room, until they get used to their surroundings, but I can see the maltese can not wait to get his teeth into them, the other 2 malteses sleep in the same room with the cats, and they are fine, the bouvier takes no note of them at all, she has the best personality of any dog I have had, but that boy maltese, sits by the door and shakes like a leaf making begging whining sounds, like he does if I have a bag of treats in my pocket, he wants to eat them.

I am now thinking of having him neutered, does anyone here think that would help, I am also thinking of putting a muzzle on him and sitting with him and the 2 cats in a tiny little room, where they have to be next to each other, for as long as it takes for them to work through their differences, good idea or bad.

Any one with any suggestions or personal experience with this please help
Thanks

I got a new rottie puppy (Niko)who is really great.... most of the time. When we got her from the breeder, we were told she was six weeks old, then found out from the vet that she was only 3 weeks old!!! I had to bottle feed and be Mommy to her. That created a great bond and I just love her to death. She has learned most of her basic commands such as come, sit, down, and shake! But I have an issue that I cannot break!!! She nips all the time. I know that this is something that she would have learned not to do in her litter, but she was taked too soon. I have tried yelping then ignoring her, I have tried to pinch her mouth close and tell her "No Bite," I have even bitten her back. I just cannot get her to stop. Now she is beginning to bite at my pant legs and is constantly under foot.

Any suggestions???? PLEASE!!!!

My father-in-law was wanting a little dog to keep him company after my mother-in-law passed away. He had a chihuahua in the past and wanted another one. As luck has it someone here in my hometown was giving away 8 week old chihuahua/jack russell mix puppies. I got him a boy, Jack. He has had him about a month and a half. The main problem problem with him is when he gets close to your face he will jump and bite at it. We try telling him no with a strong voice, ignoring him,(which makes him do it even more) so, we just wind up putting him down. How do we stop him from doing this? I would be so ever greatful for your advice...

My rottie is pretty well behaved but gets overly excited when walking and we come across new potential friends. The other owners immediately take it as aggression (because hes a rottie) and they do not give him a chance. How can I calm my rottie when we do come upon other doggies on leash? Currently I walk my rottie twice a day...20 minutes each. On weekends we go to the lakebed...which is an open area with trails and everyone walks their pups off leash. My rottie (Roman) is fine in the off leash environment, but acts more ecxcited when on leash.
