Why is my female 2y/o cat deliberately urinating on the bed?
My cat is the runt of a litter of two. We have both girls living in a spacious house with us. She frequently uses the litter box, and shows no other signs of aggression. However, she has the bad habit of deliberately urinating on my mom’s bed. We don’t know why she does it, or [...]
Could my dog's hip dysplasia be the reason why she flips out while petting her?
My dog is about eight years old and has hip dysplasia. Over the past year my dog has had many (about 15-20) agressive outbursts. It only happens when you touch her and it tends to be more to scare us away than to harm. However it is extremely scary and she shows full teeth. When [...]
Does dominance aggression in dogs ONLY occur when the pack leader position has not been fully established?
We are having an issue with my sisters cocker spaniel when it is the dogs bed time. She was disturbed during sleep and became extremely aggressive.

Labrador barks and growls at strangers, is this something I should be concerned about?
With family, and people she knows, she’s the nicest dog you could wish for, she’s tolerant of child "rough play", and in the 5 years I’ve owned her I’ve never seen even a sign of aggression from her. However, she does not like strangers. When we first got her, which admittedly was quite a while [...]
We got a 2nd puppy on Saturday. Is it good that they are sharing a bed voluntarily?
We had them share a crate (large crate, two small dogs) and when we woke up the next morning they were snuggled together in the same bed (the smallest bed too!). Does this mean the puppy is harassing the older one and making her share her bed? Or is it just that they have really [...]
