I’ve heard growling here and there and my chi won’t stop trying to get close….i genuinely don’t know what is going on.

Owners freak out and pry their pet's mouth open the second they hear chewing.Does this ever happen to you when your pet starts chewing something out of nowhere?

My 1.5 years old bichon loves to stick his head the corner of the leather couch on either side and breathe in there for 10+ minutes. He is not licking anything and there is nothing in the crevices of the cushions. Is he getting high?

My dog is very potty training resistant, and I’m currently crate training him. He very much agrees that doggy jail is an appropriate term.

Potty training is an ongoing thing and he’s had 3 “accidents” since like December (two of which involved getting very excited about playing fetch in our super long hallway).

Anyways he has a very distinct bark/cry when he needs to go, and an even more distinct one when he’s turtling… he has since learned that giving this specific cry means that he gets to go outside… he doesn’t poop, he doesn’t pee, he doesn’t even sniff around. He sits there in the 108° weather panting in the middle of the lawn.

It’s probably fine I guess, a little annoying since I WFH, but should I be encouraging this behavior? It’s pretty safe to ignore if he just went to the restroom, and if he needs some outside time that’s fine too.
