There are some things happening at home right now that are affecting my three little lovelies and without going into it all here I was hoping to find someone who would be willing to give me some advice off-board. If anyone thinks they’re up for the challenge would you mind sending me a PM or an email? I haven’t much to offer in return other than the undying admiration of myself and three little dogs… 🙂 Thanks! ---

Can you at least hint at the issue? Is it people-aggression, dog-aggression, fear/anxiety issues? ---

Feel free to shoot me a PM and I’ll try to help (bear in mind the typical cautions about advice given over the Internet). ---

There’s a lot of dog owners here, and possibly a few experts. So what’s the issue with your dog ? Nothing will shock anyone here… is he a humper, is that it ? ---

Why all the vague, covert secrecy? It’s just dog behavior, right? Is the dog a celebrity or something and wants to protect his privacy? You could use a fake dog name. “I have this dog, whom I’ll call “Rover” although that’s not his real name…” ---

> [@Dogzilla](#): > > Why all the vague, covert secrecy? It’s just dog behavior, right? Is the dog a celebrity or something and wants to protect his privacy? I would imagine it’s from a reluctance to publicly say anything about the people situation that’s causing the dog behavior, not the dog behavior itself.
