three amazing second-hand dogs:
Sara, 10, Doberman Pinscher
Kenya, 6, Malinois mix
Cosmo, 8, Australian Shepherd
How we met:
I adopted Sara from Vancouver (BC) Animal Control in 1999 when I was the volunteer coordinator there. Kenya was a foster dog from the San Francisco SPCA in 2001 - Sara wanted to keep her so we did. And Cosmo joined our family last year after his owners (former training clients) found his behavior issues a little overwheming for their growing family.

Dear Trish,
I am new to the aspca community and I have been searching on ways to communicate with someone whom knows animals from a personal opinion. I just recieved a very malnourished pitbull and you can see her ribs and spine. I don't know what to do, but people would usually ask questions of what I think, but never brought me a puppy. I like her, but what about training. I need your help and opinion in this situation.
I also have a Doberman Pinscher, Juliet, she just turned 1.
Dear trish,

Thank you for the advice. Stray has never latched on to another dog or caused any damage. I did have an instance where he charged the dog on the other side of the fence and while on a walk the dog got out and ran up to Stray. Stray didn't try to attack, he actually seemed a little happy not to have the fence between them. This dog was not the rot. Again, thank you for your adice.
My Midnight is a muscular black lab. There are times that he literally lunges at me over and over again, while nipping at me. He doesn't listen to the words stop and no while he is doing this.
Hi Trish! Thank you for the reply. Yes that is my dog, Snowie, a Westie. I love him but he has his problem which I think he's being disrespectful to me and I'm trying to deal with it. I have stopped allowing him on my bed at least when I'm on the bed. I will try what you suggested also! Thank you so much! Have a great day!
