My Lab was brought up (before I had him when in the litter) with a CD playing continuously of gunfire, thunder storms, fireworks etc, playing in...
Anaesthetics can upset dogs and cause them to whimper, however, your dog might be in pain, I would phone the vet for some advice.
Fantastic, well trained :D We have never met any deer, but I believe they are like hares to dogs, very exciting and chase worthy! It must have...
Welcome, let the fun begin :)
@Aitch I didn't think for one moment anyone was trying to push me into getting another dog :) My life would be very poor without my present Lab,...

Please don't get upset by one post, most people will be supportive and understanding and 'let he who is without sin throw the first stone'. It is...
I think it is the habit! My friend had a Flatcoat and she always played with him in the evening, so he always expected it. Rourke also has a...
I don't play with mine!!! He has his dinner, goes to sleep all evening :D He goes for a good walk in the afternoon and that seems to settle him...
