We had our last Lab neutered at 7 months when he was found to have hip dysplasia, though I was planning to have him done at about 10 months...
No one has mentioned a Buster Cube, which would fit the bill here. It is like a giant die with a hole for the entry and eventual exit of...
During waking hours Caspar goes out for a wee at about 7.00am, a poo after breakfast, and otherwise mainly goes on his walks or when he asks,...
Reading with interest. I have a pup again now and do most walks off lead at the moment to get him excited about being out. I completely failed to...
Having looked at these I would find the cost prohibitive, especially as we would need a different one for each car. Also, they do not leave room...
So far Caspar seems to be mainly fond of stuff that he finds in the garden, like pine cones and pebbles. I take from him such things as I know he...
A hose pipe in the garden for mine! Our last Lab swam all summer and only saw shampoo if he had rolled in something. I don't think he was bathed...
My late boy went to retrieve from a (deeper than it looked) saltwater pool when he was about 6 months old. We realised that he had transitioned...
Those of us in the northern hemisphere may be holding off letting our furbabies too close to freezing, fast running rivers! We'll wait till Spring...
Mine inhales his food, too, so I bought a slow feeder plate. They are made if silicone and have projections across the surface. It does slow him...
Yelping did work for me with both mine. They just stopped and gave me a puzzled look.
It can be really hard to work out how much to feed and each brand has a different way of expressing this. I think you should go by what she weighs...
Like you, we recently lost our first lab and decided get a pup. Our experience was that the first dog, unlocked crate, went on a puppy pad at...
Your Maxx looks so like our Caspar, born 26th October and now 9.5kg. He just looks like a mini Lab now, not so much a puppy. Our last Lab used to...
If that is a picture of Maxx I think I have his twin.
We have rugs and hard floors. He sleeps in a crate and doesn't have another bed. We did put out a memory foam one owned by previous dog (clean...
Mine likes cuddly toys, squeaky balls and balls on ropes. The Kong range of plush toys are quite tough as they have rope running through them...
I did succeed in getting him to lie down for a treat under my leg, but then he got up the next time to go and get it from the other side! Not stupid.
My last one changed at 2 like a switch had been flicked and became wonderfully mature almost overnight. He was always pretty chilled, though.
I'd settle for a "settle", perhaps that is what I am really after. He does do this, but at home almost always on a sofa, preferably on a cushion...
