Reading posts by @Mango and @Saffy/isla I feel like we could have the same puppies. They are all about the same age and doing the same things....
We had a pretty good day at "school" today. The trainer was particularly impressed with his road crossing and "stay." Chewie will now stay when...
:eek: Much like you'd think my husband would put his very expensive hearing aids somewhere secure now that we are letting Chewie up onto the bed...
Chewie puts EVERYTHING in his mouth but so far the only thing of ours that he has actually destroyed are my headphones. I've been looking for an...
It sounds like you both did great! :)
Whoops, the train tunnel made me double post. Hopefully a mod can delete this. :)
I strongly agree with all the other posters, and just wanted to say @Frosty12, we aren't trying to have a go at you. We are genuinely trying to...
I know exactly what you mean! Chewie is 6 months and he is much more bouncy and bitey and barky. I think it is the teen phase and requires...
Yes! I was thinking that we need a few kongs in the freezer for um... such eventualities.
On a related note, Chewie has started doing this again when he wants to play at 6 months. He mouths my legs, mostly very gently. Sometimes he just...
I would definitely look for a new vet! Dogs are dogs. We do them a great disservice by attributing human qualities like "dominance" to them when...
I agree with @JulieT. I dont think we are quite as dedicated as she is (what lucky dogs!), but we took weeks off work when our puppy arrived to...
Agree 100% with Jo. Our pup gets none of his food from a bowl. He gets a lot of it in training/on walks (walks are always an opportunity for...
So... we made sure he had some exercise and a little food before training today and it did go better. His attention was a lot better, and while he...
If it helps, you can put kongs in the dishwasher so they might be an option. Some slow feeders can also go in the dishwasher, but they obviously...
So glad it all worked out okay. Almost every adult lab owner I've met while walking Chewie has commented on all all the vet trips they've made...
We dont use Bravecto (we use Nexgard) but another dog we know gets Bravecto with no adverse effects. Tick protection is very important in here...
Good luck! We have found training "look at that" really useful with our excessively friendly lab!
You can also moisten some kibble with mashed banana or peanut butter (one that doesnt contain any artificial sweeteners) and stuff that in. Once...
That sounds great. Our puppy is in a similar in-home, family daycare arrangement and it works very well for us. We get regular updates about his...
