Your dog has you in a routine you need to break or it will go on and on. May require some sleepless nights to adjust this behavior.
I'd say serious obedience training is called for here. I would not have the patience living with an animal with this behavior. He's in charge and...
Your dog is defective . . . no not really. It doesn't mean anything except yours is different.
We started ours on a raw diet at 9-10 weeks. It took until he was almost a year to learn --trial and error-- he had a chicken intolerance. Most...
Important that you stop the rock (and stick) eating behavior as it can result in very expensive surgery - $3K-$4K - if there is a rupture.
My lab barks when someone knocks on the door. It's fine IMO. He lets me know someone is here if I don't hear the knocker. Sure he's excited but...
I second the raw diet. Drinks less water, poops are smaller and firm. Been on it for 3 years now.
You may be clueless but you're not stupid. Raising a puppy is not much different than raising a child (if you have). Take a cup full of patience...
Your lab is 13 and presumably had a good life with your family. It's time.
I use to do this when I was 4 or 5 but I got over it. Your pup will probably too.
Big problem I'd say. If a plastic bag gets tangled in his stomach you probably looking at at $3K-$4 surgical bill. You need to nix this behavior...
Get her some sun shade goggles? Strange problem. Good luck.
Whatever training method you use begin when your pup comes across the threshold. Be consistent and work on something every day even if for only 2...
Forget the pup tent IMO and let her sleep in the vestibule area between the tent and the fly -- if that's your setup. Put down a closed cell foam...
Now that is ridiculous. True, vets are not "nutritional experts" unless they've had advanced residency training in nutrition and passed the board...
Get a new vet.
So Lacey, you're planning on day crating your lab for his entire life? Unconscionable. Do your dog a favor and pardon the beast. Peeing in the...
The"no" command is appropriate when they been conditioned to know what they're supposed to do when the command is given. I use it judiciously in...
Yes, Victor is a highly rated kibble but it's still nutritionally "dead" post processing. Though more work get your pup on a raw diet. 3 years for...
My lab has done the same. For him it has occurred, and not frequently, after strenuous outdoor activity like running around with neighborhood kids...
