Is there a device (whistle, electronic, etc) that a dog owner can use to deter bad dog behavior? I have a 9-month old Doberman (70 lbs), who doesn't sit, jumps up on me, doesn't respond to 'no', chews everything, tips his food & water bowls over when he can't have his way, pulls on his leash making it impossible for me to walk him, and is destructive in the backyard. What can I do to address these issues?

Hello, my mum has a Cavalier named Audrey who is five years old and has recently started urinating inside the house despite being trained to go outside. Audrey has been to the vet and has no infections, but she has a heart murmur. This behavior started a few months ago, around the time of my stepdad's passing. What can we do to help or is there something going on with her?

My 9 lb Maltese named Bella was grabbed and thrown by a 145 lb German Shepherd while trying to take her food. Bella yelped loudly and has been yelping when touched since then. She hid from me for a long time after the incident. I am concerned about internal injuries, as she walks around but avoids being touched. What should I be aware of and what should I do?

We have a 14-year-old lab named Clementine who has laryngeal paralysis and has recently started having difficulty getting up and sitting down, including a recent fall where she couldn't get up and is now limping and panting heavily. She is on thyroid medication. What could be causing these symptoms and what should we do?

Our 6-year-old black and tan hound was diagnosed with Addison's disease in December 2018. He is currently on 2.5mg of prednisone daily and 4mg of zycortal by injection every 25 days. Despite being on these medications, he exhibits excessive thirst and increasing incontinence. What can be done to address these side effects?
