Hello!

I have a one year old male AKK (not neutered - waiting ‘til he’s 18 months).

We have just had our first pee accident in the house since he was five or six months old - on my bed no less 😩. I was literally calling him to take him out and there he was, peeing on the bed.

Obviously I’ll take the duvet for a wash at the launderette tomorrow but I’m worried about it reoccurring now it’s happened once. None of his puppy accidents were on the bed.

I took him straight out and he did more peeing, and I think it was probably my fault (he’d been whining in the kitchen because there was a box on the side he wanted to chew, and that must have turned into ‘please can I go out’ whining without me noticing).

Sokka's gums are black, always have been. I know when they're sick we're supposed to check their gums for the nice pinkness, but what do we do when their gums aren't pink anyway?

Hello! I recently adopted an Alaskan Klee Kai and have a few questions.

When crate training, have you found any effective methods for getting them to calm down?

Currently, he has to sleep in his crate at night because he eats things he shouldn’t and I have cats. He is also left in his crate for a few hours two days a week while my partner and I are both at work.

Since he’s adopted, he doesn’t yet know his name. What’s the best way to train him to recognize it?

How can I best train him for recall?

He pees when we put his leash on. Is there a way to teach him that we’re not going to hurt him, or is it just something that improves over time?

I have two cats. How have you introduced your AKKs to cats?

I’m a little concerned because today, while we were holding one of our cats on the couch a few feet away from him, he ended up nipping at her when we let him get near her.

Thank you for any help and advice! I grew up with many dogs but haven’t had one in about eight years. I found this guy at a shelter, and he’s 4 years old.

Don't know about you folks, but my girl likes to leave one or two bits of kibble floating in her water like "kibble soup" almost every meal time. I have never had a dog do this so intentionally before, and when I dump it and give her fresh water, she immediately sips a little and walks away, sometimes I'll find another piece a few hours later.

2 year old AKK, got his name because he was SO chill on the 2.5 hour ride home with him until Road to Nowhere by Ozzy Osbourne came on and he started hollering 😆 Also known as Oz Man, Mr. Stinks, and Dinky Dinky. Is favorite word is HECK and he thinks he is a big scary guard dog. Has personal beef with the mailman. Likes to play with the hair tuffs he sheds, but accidently eats them 🤦🏻‍♀️His gotcha day is 12/28/22 🖤

Recently became an AKK owner. Struggled with grief after my loyal Akita Inu passed away earlier this year. He is already filling that hole in my heart.

My AKK is 5, she's wonderful and not picky/enjoys her food. But. She doesn't eat on a schedule, choosing to either eat both portions in the evening, snack small amounts throughout the day, or just leave like half for the next day. Also sometimes she dumps her water into the food and then it's gross and slimy so I have to wash out the bowl and put new food out. There is no rhyme or reason, other than the occasional hunger strike if we leave her at home alone for the day. Then she's guaranteed to scarf down food when we're home again. Do your klee kais eat like this or is there more of a rhythm to their dining habits? Just curious/looking to chat about it :)

Does anyone else’s Klee Kai struggle with stress induced colitis? My lil guy is 6 years old and I fear we created a monster once we were with him 27/4 during the pandemic and ever since, I permanently work from home. Now if we leave him alone for more than 6 hours (extremely rare) or if I’m traveling for work or a vacation and he’s not with me for more than ~24 hours he will get stress induced colitis (diarrhea, bloody stool, needs to go frequently, scoots his butt) for about 2-3 days. We have anti anxiety meds for him but it seems they just make him sleepy.. he’ll still get the tummy issues for a couple days after a “stress induced event” … believe me, he does not live a stressful life lol anyone else struggle with this?

I can't stop laughing at his insolence.y fault.

BarkBus usually does a great job but missed the tear stains. She's always happy to have a spare day. 🐺

So here is Roo (Rhuarc black and white) and Avi (Aviendha reddish/black and white) just chilling. They’re are fast friends for sure ❤️

FYI when I saw this on my security camera my heart dropped. he only did this one time and he now uses the stairs.

Hi everyone. I’ve fostered quite a few puppies in my type but this Klee Kai specifically is ALWAYS biting me. If im in the same room, she’s chewing on me. What should I do about this behavior? She’s a parvo survivor so she isn’t allowed to play and get energy out that way for another week. Thanks
