Thanks all. I have tried the traditional lure but it does not seem to work. He will go to the treat but only from fully standing and if not...
Caspar is now 12 weeks and reasonably good at sitting on command. I am having real trouble capturing him in the act of lying down so am finding...
An update: tried getting him used to the car and he would quite happily sit and eat treats etc, but although he was not quite as loud in his...
So interesting to read all this. I lost my lovely big boy Lab mid Nov (only 7, too early). He was just the most chilled out dog, even as a pup....
Turn off your heating... they won't shed then!
I am pleased to hear another owner refusing/delaying surgery. When ours was diagnosed with HD at 7 months and ED a few months later I was told...
We have had 2 yellow Labs; the first didn't really shed until he was 6 months old but never stopped after that. Our current pup is 11 weeks and...
I had an almost identical experience to Leejane with previous Lab. His hips and elbows were x-rayed at 7 months as he was limping a bit. They...
Our vets only do 2 lots of vaccinations and always have done. I know that you vaccinate for slightly different things in the US. In our semi-rural...
Oh, and he has a teddy in his crate, too. All his toys belonged to our first Lab who passed away suddenly in November, so they may be comforting...
Mine is still whimpering a bit but he does that as he is walking along as well, so it may be just a bit of anxiety. That only lasts until he sees...
We are a month in with our 2nd Lab pup. As far as vaccinations go our vets will do the 2nd at 10 weeks; bearing in mind that you are house and...
We just get the vet to do it when the dog goes in for his injections. Only dew claws need doing once they are out and walking on hard surfaces,...
Having recently spoken to a number of breeders about hip and elbow scores guarantees were mentioned by none. I'm not sure it happens at all in the UK.
I took him out today, but in my husband's arms. He is calmer but I think he does not like being unable to see out of the window. Obviously that...
My last Lab had both hip and elbow dysplasia, despite having a 5 generation pedigree with clean lines. It may have been "just one of those things"...
Mine is only 11 weeks old and we have had to put a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs as he kept on racing up given the chance. He only did it...
Nope...!
Good point. I have just bought a new harness which will be easier to put on and I will use this in future.
Whether he is in a harness or just a collar makes no difference. His objective is to get over the seat back to me once the engine has started. He...
