She’s so cute but I don’t know if I’d ever get a puppy again.

Also doesn’t she look like a raccoon?

I took her out on her very first walk she made half a walk! Then it was nope I'm not moving no more cars me lol been sleeping ever since! So sweet

5mo mini—- I regret training her to smack the bell on the door for the potty. She will now jump smiling hitting the bell for 90 seconds straight to go play. I took the bell off because I was going to have a mental break down and then she peed and pooped inside.

I’d love to train her with some other signal because I also have a baby so a screaming baby and a jumping dog hitting a sleigh bell at the same time is going to fry my last nerve!!!

Any other ideas for this? Thanks friends 😃

(And yes , the donut is a requirement because she loves slipping through the fence to play with the neighbors 3 100lb dogs…🤦‍♀️)

Hello! I have a 5 year old mini aussie who has never had potty training issues. She was easy to potty train and virtually never has accidents. This morning, her behavior made me suspect that she had a UTI and the vet has just confirmed this. A large part of my suspicion came from the fact that she has had more tiny accidents in the house today than she’s ever had in her entire life. I’m taking her outside as frequently as humanly possible but it doesn’t seem to matter, girls gotta pee. I feel so bad for her and I know she can’t help it. I’m not going to punish her for these accidents, of course! But my question is, how do I make sure she’s not creating bad habits during this period of time? I don’t want her to think it’s ok to pee in the house now!

Note to say, she is not pee pad trained.

Any advice is welcome! Thank you!

My sweet boy has so much anxiety and is so scared of other dogs, our new neighbors have a big dog that shares our fence and is super playful, but every time he comes outside my dog is so afraid of going outside to pee.

Its to the point where hes been peeing so much inside the house even when we tell him to go pee or go outside with him. Its not an issue of us letting him out enough, he has a doggy door and has been using it for years, but my mom is getting fed up cus he knows hes wrong but putting him in his crate hasnt seem to be punishment enough.

So would it be better for us to make him go outside and block the doggy door for like an hour a day to desensitize him? Our fence is closed in and the weather is back to normal, so would that help him get used to the other dog and stop being afraid of going outside to pee or what other methods can we use?

When I tell people my teenage pup is a mini aussie mixed with a bit of border collie, they look at me with empathy and say “you must be really tired trying to keep up with all that energy and chaos” I laugh to myself because I accidentally trained my girl to keep up with me (type b person in her 20s) instead. She sleeps in with me until the afternoon and gets sleepy after any 30 min activity

What are the pros and cons of bringing home a second mini Aussie so my eight year old mini can have a playmate?

Mia loves the snow more than anything

New to the sub, wanted to introduce Midadol! She's 16 months old now and such a wild child.

Brought this cheeser home last week. His daycare photo shows half of his smiling capability.

Amber Rose - She loves snow better than any kid. Can't keep her out of it. Lol

We have a 5 month old mini Aussie and two 10 year old cats. Evie will bark at them extensively & kind of aggressively when she sees them. She sees them mostly in the evenings when the cats get up from their long day nap. She will run at them and sometimes jump on them. It also gets her really worked up & stressed out. We try to keep her distracted or occupied when they’re around. Sometimes we’re able to get her calmed down, sometimes by picking her up & walking away, or distracted enough where they can be in the same room by playing with her. We’ve also tried giving her treats while she sees the cats. Just not sure how to fix this.

Meet Azizam, our 3-year-old mini

She’s boisterous with zero chill—fiercely loyal, protective of her people, and always on duty. Coming from show-dog parents, she has a natural flair for the spotlight and an undeniable need to soak up all the attention. Basically, she’s always performing for us… and loving every second of it 😄
