Caesar, I really need your help! I have rescued two dogs in the last few months, so counting the dog I already had, that brings my total up to three dogs, which I don't think is too many, BUT, the two rescued dogs aren't getting along so we have to keep them separted. This has been going on for about three months now, and it's getting old. We've tried some of your techniques, but they haven't worked yet. All three dogs are male and they are all neutered. The first rescue, Max. was chained up outside his whole life, he's around 5 or 6 yrs old, and I had him neutered before I brought him to my house back in July 06. My dog, Brady, who I've had since he was a puppy, is now 6 yrs old, and he and Max get along fine. Then I found a stray un-neutered male dog around Novemeber 06 and brought him home and named him Moe. He's an older dog, the vet guessed between 8-10 yrs. old, and Brady gets along fine with him, even though he wasn't neutered at the time, But, Max attacked Moe the second we came in the door, and has attacked him a few more times since then. I've even been bit trying to separate them. Moe has been neutered now for about 6 weeks, but Max is still aggresive towards him.

Everyone thinks we should get rid of one or both of the rescues, but I really want to keep them both. My fiance and I are supposed to be going to Costa Rica sometime in late April or early May to elope, but we are worried about leaving the dogs with my cousin, who has agreed to be our dog/cat sitter while we are gone. If she makes a mistake by not keeping them separated, she will never be able to pull them apart by herself (they are big dogs), and I'm afraid she will get hurt. I don't want to cancel our trip, but I don't want to go and be worried about the dogs the whole time. CAN YOU PLEASE COME TO MISSISSIPPI AND HELP US? I would be so very grateful!

My friend's 2-year-old recently neutered Rottie has started obsessing on shadows--regular shadows that are made in any room with a light source. He searches for them, jumps at them, tries to 'bite' them. She is a 'weak' owner, but I have always had a functional relationship with the dog, and I have to physically pull him off a shadow to listen to a command (obviously 'leave it' doesn't work) so I can treat him and try to move him onto something else. Why the new OCD? Perhaps a brain tumor? Frontal lobe damage? What's wrong with this dog? It's really sad.

We have 8 dogs in our pack. They range from a 6 lb. Chihuahua to a 120 lb. Great Pyrenees. All but the Pyr are rescues. Even the Chihuahua was found running feral in Albuquerque. Right now six of them are surrounding me, all relaxing and dozing in the family room. My most recent rescue is Peaches, a pit bull I found hanging out at a drive through bank in Albuquerque. She is the love of my life (don't tell my husband). I expected calm submissive behavior from the beginning, and she responded with love and sweetness. One night recently I had to provide anesthesia for a woman mauled by a pit bull. They "raised them". They had 4 intact males chained to the front porch, and many running uncontrolled in the house. The dog who mauled her was a new mother, and was shot during the mauling. The surgeons went on and on about how all pit bulls should be destroyed. I countered that maybe it was the people, and how the dogs were raised. They said that since only "trash" and people wanting to fight dogs had pit bulls, that the argument was moot. I showed them a picture of Peaches, and reminded them that I wasn't exactly "trash". In fact, I am Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at a major medical facility. I want people to blame the rearing, not the breed. I hate that entire breeds are being outlawed. I hate that I can't even consider moving to Denver, because their outlawing all bully breeds disgusts me so. I watch the pit bulls in Cesar's pack and it makes me want to cry. They can be such great dogs if just given a chance! I can't imagine my life without pyrs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I guess I just like challenges, but they are the best dogs if you give them the right pack life.

We are a 501 (c) 3, all volunteer, all breed dog rescue in the Carson City/Reno Nevada area. We rescue an average of 200 dogs per year, and also have 20 dogs of our own.

We could really use Cesar's help both in working with the rescued dogs, and with establishing order in our own pack. With 20 dogs of all ages and mixes, we really have a chaotic situation.

Is there any way he could put us on his agenda for the year? We hope to be building a "real"shelter later in the year, but we still rely on foster families and opening our own home to as many dogs as we can. All of our own dogs were death-row inmates at one time or another.

Many thanks,

Hello All-

I love to watch the show. This post is in regards to the fighting French Bulldogs. I would love to hear ON AIR advice from Cesar to have her spay and neuter ALL of those Frenchies! Why more came into the world when the Mother was unstable and then the first of them was unstable is a part of the scenario that American needs to be educated on. If more people would not breed (I won't get on any soapbox:-), then it is a domino effect all around the USA. I am hoping she was advised to alter each of them OFF AIR and that she has taken that advice. I would love to see where at the beginning, end, commerical breaks it is reiterated to SPAY AND NEUTER the pets--maybe some day it will sink in if we all keep educating the public.

Thanks for the show--I do love what it does for people-
Lisa and the pack of 5 plus the cat who is sure he is a dog too!

We recently rescued an adult female boxer into our home, we already have 4 toy dogs and 1 male boxer puppy. This is our 2nd week and the 1st week was a trial, the new boxer had a fight
with the puppy after being here 3 days and broke his skin over food aggression, I know he started it as its been an issue with
him and the smaller dogs, he is greedy and when you give him
treats he wants his and everyone elses too. She did hurt him
and he has a quarter size superficial hole/break on his neck.
I been working on him and never thought this would happen but
now I am afraid of the new boxer being left unsupervised with
any of my dogs. When I am here they all get along fine, even
sleep togather, and no food agression over the dry food thats out all day. But now I just dont trust her anymore and not sure
if I ever will. She is a dominent female, but has been fine
and is a perfect dog, just not sure how to trust her alone
with the others. Also the 1st & 2nd day she stomped one of the
toy dogs causing her to scream bloody murder...
Any suggestions would be appriciated.

I have a lab and pitball dog, I have grown attach to this animal and have my kids. He is an over active dog that has come to a family who has little time for him ,if any.

He has done quite a bit of damaged around the house,such as torn screens chew on window pane ,chews up aluminum cans to little pieces,without cutting himself. Now, we have a huge back yard ,but doesn't take advantage of running.

One last thing, he bites hard ,my arms have been black and blue and our clothes torn. I think he thinks we are playing with him.
One incident I had,this summer really puzzled me. While he was tight up ,as he always is when he goes out of the house, I went to pet him and he jump straight to my neck .Luckily his mouth was close. That really has bothered me.

He can be sweet most of the time and it's hard to give him up when he's that way.

I guess knowing he had been abused with a sharp object and/or burned has made me feel sorry for him. I found him abandon at school where I work .The next day he was there again,he saw me and did his tail wagging number.

What do I do when its probably my pity for him that he has not learned to behave and realize he is not the leader.

Too many dogs only exists if you can't take care of their needs.
No one knows this but you. I wish more people would adopt rescue dogs rather than purchase "flavor of the month" purse dogs.
